Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. reported second quarter 2026 total revenue of $33.4 million, down from $37.9 million a year earlier, with U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue rising modestly to $30.8 million. License and other revenue fell sharply to $2.6 million as a Menarini R&D funding obligation expired.

R&D and SG&A expenses declined year over year, but the company still posted a net loss of $67.0 million, driven by an operating loss of $22.5 million and $44.5 million in non-operating expense, including $13.1 million of interest and $32.1 million of non-cash derivative and warrant-related expense. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments totaled $65.4 million at June 30, 2026.

The company reaffirmed 2026 guidance for total revenue of $130–$150 million and U.S. XPOVIO revenue of $115–$130 million, and expects R&D plus SG&A of $230–$245 million. Management is actively evaluating financing opportunities and strategic alternatives as it faces a $15.8 million senior term-loan principal payment due September 10, 2026 and a $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant that could be breached absent additional actions. Karyopharm remains on track to submit an August sNDA under the Accelerated Approval pathway for selinexor plus ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis, supported by positive Phase 3 SENTRY data, while its Phase 3 endometrial cancer trial did not meet its primary endpoint.

Positive

  • On-track myelofibrosis sNDA: The company plans an August supplemental NDA for selinexor plus ruxolitinib under the Accelerated Approval pathway, supported by Phase 3 SENTRY data and ongoing FDA engagement, with an intent to request Priority Review.
  • Strong late-stage myelofibrosis data: Phase 3 SENTRY results showed rapid, deep and sustained spleen responses and promising overall survival findings, with SVR35 acknowledged by FDA feedback as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint to support the sNDA.
  • Reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance: Despite Q2 revenue pressure, Karyopharm reaffirmed full-year 2026 total revenue guidance of $130–$150 million, including U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue of $115–$130 million.
  • Cost controls improving operations: R&D expenses fell to $29.0 million and SG&A to $25.9 million in Q2 2026, reducing the loss from operations to $22.5 million from $24.4 million, reflecting ongoing cost-reduction initiatives.
  • International royalty growth: Royalty revenue from partners including Menarini and Antengene increased to $2.5 million in Q2 2026 from $1.6 million in Q2 2025, reflecting expanded ex-U.S. selinexor access.

Negative

  • Double-digit revenue decline: Total revenue fell to $33.4 million in Q2 2026 from $37.9 million a year earlier, driven largely by a steep drop in license and other revenue after expiration of Menarini’s R&D funding obligation.
  • Large net loss and high non-cash charges: Net loss widened to $67.0 million from $37.3 million, including $32.1 million of non-operational, non-cash other expense tied to fair-value changes in embedded derivatives and liability-classified warrants.
  • Leverage and covenant risk: With total liabilities of $441.5 million and stockholders’ deficit of $(330.2) million, the company discloses that its liquidity is expected to fund operations only into September 2026 and that paying the $15.8 million term-loan installment on September 10, 2026 without new financing or a waiver would likely breach its $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, constituting an event of default.
  • Going-concern uncertainty: Management states that substantial doubt exists regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, highlighting significant financing and refinancing needs alongside existing debt obligations.
  • Endometrial cancer Phase 3 miss: The Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 trial in TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer did not meet its primary endpoint of progression-free survival, prompting a shift in future investment away from this program.
  • High interest burden: Interest expense increased to $13.1 million in Q2 2026 from $11.2 million, reflecting higher debt and interest rates after prior financing transactions, further pressuring bottom-line results.

Filing Explained

At June 30, reported liabilities were $441,485 thousand and stockholders’ deficit was $330,168 thousand, alongside 22,680 thousand shares outstanding.

This Form 8-K reports completed second-quarter results and furnishes the related press release; it also explicitly states that substantial doubt exists regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, meaning the filing identifies a funding risk over the next 12 months.

At June 30, 2026, total liabilities were $441,485 thousand, total stockholders’ deficit was $330,168 thousand, and 22,680 thousand common shares were issued and outstanding.

supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) regulatory
"remains on track to submit its planned supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in August"
A supplemental new drug application (snda) is a formal request made to regulatory authorities to make changes to an already approved medication, such as adding new uses, adjusting dosages, or improving manufacturing processes. It’s similar to updating a product’s packaging or instructions after it has been approved for sale. For investors, an snda signals ongoing development or improvements that could impact a company’s future sales or regulatory approval prospects.
Accelerated Approval pathway regulatory
"planned supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in August under the Accelerated Approval pathway"
The accelerated approval pathway is a process that allows new medicines to be approved more quickly based on early evidence that they may be effective, rather than waiting for full proof. This can help patients access promising treatments faster, but it also means ongoing studies are needed to confirm the benefits. For investors, it highlights potential faster market entry and earlier revenue opportunities, along with some uncertainty about long-term outcomes.
spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) medical
"spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) appears to qualify as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint"
reasonably likely surrogate endpoint (RLSE) medical
"SVR35 appears to qualify as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint (RLSE) to predict overall survival"
A reasonably likely surrogate endpoint is a measurable early sign—like a lab value or imaging result—that regulators accept as a stand‑in for a later, meaningful health benefit when the scientific evidence suggests a strong link. For investors it matters because using such a surrogate can speed regulatory clearance and earlier market access, boosting near‑term revenue potential, but it also carries risk if later trials fail to confirm real clinical benefit, which can lead to setbacks or additional costs.
minimum liquidity covenant financial
"cash, cash equivalents and investments would fall below its $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant"
A minimum liquidity covenant is a clause in a loan or bond agreement that requires the borrower to keep a certain amount of cash or easily sold assets on hand, like an agreed emergency fund. It matters to investors because it protects lenders and other creditors by reducing the chance of missed payments; falling below the required level can trigger penalties, default, or demands for extra collateral, which can affect a company’s borrowing costs and equity value.
progression-free survival medical
"XPORT-EC-042 trial ... did not meet its primary endpoint of progression-free survival"
Progression-free survival is the length of time during and after a treatment that a patient's disease does not get worse, measured from the start of treatment until the disease shows measurable signs of progression or the patient dies. Investors care because longer progression-free survival in clinical trials often signals that a drug is effective, improving chances of regulatory approval, market adoption, and revenue potential—think of it as a stopwatch showing how long a therapy can keep the illness at bay.
Total revenue $33.4 million Down from $37.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Net product revenue (XPOVIO) $30.8 million Up from $29.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Net loss $67.0 million Worse than $37.3 million net loss in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Loss from operations $22.5 million Improved from $24.4 million loss from operations in the prior-year quarter
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments $65.4 million Compared with $63.7 million at December 31, 2025
Guidance

For full year 2026, Karyopharm expects total revenue of $130–$150 million, U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue of $115–$130 million, and R&D plus SG&A expenses of $230–$245 million, excluding certain one-time costs.

NEWTON, Mass. – August 13, 2026 – Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026 and provided an update on the Company's myelofibrosis program. Following continued constructive engagement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Company remains on track to submit its planned supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in August under the Accelerated Approval pathway for selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib for patients with myelofibrosis. Karyopharm intends to request Priority Review at the time of submission.

“Our planned submission under the Accelerated Approval pathway represents the beginning of an important new chapter for Karyopharm and an important milestone for the myelofibrosis community," said Richard Paulson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Karyopharm. "If approved, selinexor plus ruxolitinib would become the first approved combination therapy for patients with myelofibrosis, introducing a novel therapeutic mechanism for the treatment of this disease within the multi-billion-dollar U.S. marketplace. Our planned submission follows productive engagements with the FDA and reflects the speed, focus, urgency and extraordinary commitment of our teams. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA."

 

"Together with the continued scientific engagement we are seeing across the myelofibrosis community, we believe the strength and consistency of the SENTRY data reinforce the potential of selinexor to fundamentally change the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis," added Mr. Paulson.

 

Second Quarter 2026 and Recent Company Highlights

 

XPOVIO Commercial Performance

 

U.S. net product revenue was $30.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $29.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 


 

 

Demand for XPOVIO was relatively consistent in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, amidst a highly competitive commercial landscape. The community setting continued to represent approximately 60% of net product revenue.

 

Expanded global patient access for selinexor is translating into growth in royalty revenue from Menarini, Antengene and other international partners. Royalty revenue increased to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, with selinexor approved in more than 50 ex-U.S. countries and territories.

 

Research and Development (R&D) Highlights

 

Myelofibrosis

 

Planned sNDA submission under the Accelerated Approval pathway following multiple, productive engagements with the FDA, including Type B and Type C meetings, and received written feedback from the FDA that spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) appears to qualify as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint (RLSE) to predict overall survival and can be used to support an sNDA submission.

 

Results from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial (NCT04562389) in myelofibrosis were presented in a Late-Breaking Oral Presentation at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and simultaneously published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Oncology demonstrating rapid, deep and sustained spleen responses, promising overall survival findings and evidence consistent with potential disease modification.

 

Additional analyses presented during a Late-Breaking Oral Presentation at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress—where the abstract was selected as one of the six best abstracts presented at the meeting—provided additional evidence supporting SVR35 as a potential predictor of overall survival.

 

The Company continues active scientific exchange with investigators and treating physicians following the ASCO and EHA presentations and publication of the SENTRY results in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

 

Continue enrolling patients into the 40 mg cohort of the Phase 2 SENTRY-2 trial (NCT05980806), following completion of enrollment of the 60 mg cohort (n=29) earlier this year.

 

Endometrial Cancer

 

Announced topline results from the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 trial (NCT05611931), evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy compared to placebo in adult patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of progression-free survival. A trend favoring the selinexor arm was observed in the modified intent to treat (mITT) population (n=236), with a median PFS of 12.75 months in the selinexor arm compared to 7.43 months in the placebo arm (hazard ratio=0.76 [95% CI: 0.51, 1.12]; one-sided p-value=0.0791). The safety and tolerability profile of selinexor was consistent with its established safety profile, with no new safety signals observed.

 

Following the Phase 3 topline results, the Company has prioritized future investment toward its myelofibrosis and multiple myeloma programs while continuing long-term follow-up of patients enrolled in XPORT-EC-042.

 

2

 


 

 

Multiple Myeloma

 

Patients enrolled in the Phase 3 XPORT-MM-031 trial (EMN29; NCT05028348) continue to be followed for progression-free survival events contributing towards the primary endpoint. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the European Myeloma Network and is evaluating the all-oral combination of selinexor 40 mg, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (SPd40) in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma who received an anti-CD38 as their immediate prior line of therapy.

 

Anticipated Catalysts and Operational Objectives

 

Myelofibrosis

 

FDA acceptance of the Company's planned August sNDA submission for selinexor in myelofibrosis, including potential Priority Review designation.

 

Planned advancement of global regulatory activities with the Company's partners to support potential regulatory submissions outside the United States.

 

Potential inclusion of selinexor plus ruxolitinib in relevant compendia in the second half of 2026.

 

Topline data from the Phase 2 SENTRY-2 60 mg cohort expected in the second half of 2026.

 

Multiple Myeloma

 

Maintain the Company's commercial foundation in the increasingly competitive multiple myeloma marketplace and drive increased XPOVIO revenues.
 
Support global launches by the Company’s partners following regulatory and reimbursement approvals for selinexor in ex-U.S. countries and territories.
 
Announce topline data from the event-driven Phase 3 XPORT-MM-031 (EMN29) trial expected in the second half of 2026.
 

2026 Financial Outlook

 

Based on its current operating plans, Karyopharm expects the following for full year 2026:

 

Total revenue to be in the range of $130 million to $150 million. Total revenue consists of U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue and license, royalty and milestone revenue earned from partners.

 

U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue to be in the range of $115 million to $130 million.

 

R&D and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses to be in the range of $230 million to $245 million, excluding certain one-time costs that the Company may incur associated with its endometrial cancer program and evaluating financing opportunities and/or strategic transactions.

The Company, together with its financial advisor Centerview Partners and other advisors, is actively evaluating a range of financing opportunities and strategic alternatives with the objective of maximizing both near- and long-term value for stakeholders while preserving strategic flexibility as it advances its myelofibrosis program.

 

The Company expects its existing liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with anticipated cash flow from net product revenue and license and other revenue, to fund its current operating plans into September 2026. As discussed above, the Company is actively evaluating a range of financing opportunities and strategic alternatives with the objective of extending its cash runway, preserving strategic flexibility and maximizing long-term shareholder value as it advances its myelofibrosis program. On September 10, 2026, a $15.8 million principal payment is due under the Company's senior secured term loan facility. If that payment is made without additional financing or a waiver from the Company's lenders, the Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and investments would fall below its $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, which would constitute an event of default under the term loan.

 

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

 

Total revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $33.4 million, compared to $37.9 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Net product revenue: Net product revenue was $30.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $29.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, reflects relatively consistent demand for XPOVIO in an increasingly competitive multiple myeloma marketplace.

 

License and other revenue: License and other revenue was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $6.5 million reduction in development-related reimbursement revenue from Menarini following the expiration, on December 31, 2025, of Menarini's annual $15.0 million research and development obligation.

 

Cost of sales: Cost of sales was $1.1 million for both the second quarter of 2026 and 2025.

 

R&D expenses: R&D expenses were $29.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $32.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by our continued prioritization, focus, and efficient spending while advancing our late-stage programs, with our Phase 3 trials having completed full enrollment.

 

SG&A expenses: SG&A expenses were $25.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $28.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by proactive cost containment while maintaining disciplined alignment of pre-launch investments with clinical and regulatory milestones.

 

Loss from operations: Loss from operations was $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The improvement reflects the benefit of cost reduction initiatives implemented over the past several years.

 

Interest income: Interest income was $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025.

 

Interest expense: Interest expense was $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase reflects higher outstanding debt and higher interest rates following the Company’s financing transactions executed in October 2025.

Other expense, net: Other expense, net was $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. This expense is primarily non-operational and non-cash due to fair value of embedded derivatives and liability-classified common stock warrants related to the refinancing transactions completed in the second quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2025. The fair value of these instruments is remeasured each reporting period and is impacted by various inputs, including changes in the Company's share price.

 

Net loss: Net loss was $67.0 million, or $2.32 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $37.3 million, or $4.32 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 reflects an operating loss of $22.5 million and $44.5 million in non-operating expense comprised of $13.1 million of interest expense and $32.1 million of other expense partially offset by $0.7 million of interest income.

 

Cash position: Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments as of June 30, 2026, totaled $65.4 million.

SENTRY (XPORT-MF-034; NCT04562389) is a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating a once-weekly dose of 60 mg of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib compared to placebo plus ruxolitinib in JAKi-naïve myelofibrosis patients with platelet counts >100 x 109/L (N=353). Patients were randomized 2-to-1 to the selinexor arm. The co-primary endpoints for this trial are spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) at week 24 and the average change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) over 24 weeks relative to baseline. The results from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting and were simultaneously published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Oncology. In addition, the results were presented at the 2026 European Hematology Association Congress, where the presentation was recognized as one of the six best abstracts at the meeting.

 

About Myelofibrosis

 

Myelofibrosis is a rare blood cancer that affects approximately 20,000 patients in the United States and 17,000 patients in the European Union1. The disease causes bone marrow fibrosis (scarring in the bone marrow), which makes it difficult for the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), progressive anemia which often leads to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, and other disease associated symptoms including abdominal discomfort, pain under the left ribs, early satiety, night sweats and bone pain. The only approved class of therapies to treat myelofibrosis are JAK inhibitors, including ruxolitinib.

About the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 Trial

 

EC-042 (XPORT-EC-042; ENGOT-EN20; GOG-3083; NCT05611931) is a global, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy following chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (N=257). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either a 60 mg, once-weekly, administration of oral selinexor or placebo until disease progression. The trial includes two patient populations, for which the primary endpoint of progression-free survival was tested sequentially: 1) a modified intent to treat population (mITT) that includes patients with either, a) TP53 wild-type tumors with proficient mismatch repair status (pMMR); or, b) TP53 wild-type tumors with deficient mismatch repair status (dMMR), who are medically ineligible to receive checkpoint inhibitors; and, 2) the trial's original intent to treat (ITT) population, which includes all patients enrolled in the trial whose tumors are TP53 wild-type, regardless of MMR status. Overall survival is a key secondary endpoint. The mITT population enrolled 236 patients. As of the data cut-off, 106 progression-free survival events as assessed by the investigator had been observed in the mITT population. In connection with the EC-042 trial, Karyopharm entered into a global collaboration with Foundation Medicine, Inc. to develop FoundationOne®CDx, a tissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling test to identify and enroll patients whose tumors are TP53 wild-type. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial groups (ENGOT) and the GOG Foundation, Inc.

 

About Endometrial Cancer

 

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the U.S.1 In 2026, approximately 68,000 uterine cancers (predominantly endometrial) are expected to be diagnosed, with approximately 14,000 deaths.1 Worldwide there were about 420,368 cases with 97,723 deaths in 2022.2 Both incidence and mortality have continued to rise.3,4 Key risk factors include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high-fat diets, tamoxifen or oral estrogen use, and delayed menopause.5 TP53 is a well-recognized prognostic marker for EC; >50% of advanced or recurrent EC tumors are TP53wt (gene for tumor protein P53; wild-type), and ~40%-55% are both TP53wt and mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR).6-8 While immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown benefit in patients with mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) and pMMR, the magnitude of benefit is greater for patients with dMMR tumors versus pMMR tumors.9-10 There remains an unmet need for targeted therapies for patients with pMMR EC.11
