1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies and dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of first-in-class drugs directed against nuclear export for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. We were incorporated in Delaware on December 22, 2008 and have a principal place of business in Newton, Massachusetts.

Our scientific expertise is based upon an understanding of the regulation of intracellular communication between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Our Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (“SINE”) compounds function by binding with and inhibiting the nuclear export protein exportin 1 (“XPO1”). Our primary focus is on marketing XPOVIO® (selinexor) in its currently approved indications as well as developing and seeking the regulatory approval of selinexor as an oral agent in multiple myeloma, endometrial cancer, and myelofibrosis, eltanexor in myelodysplastic syndromes and selinexor and eltanexor in additional cancer indications with significant unmet medical need. Our lead asset, XPOVIO, received its initial U.S. approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in July 2019 and is currently approved and marketed for the following indications: (i) in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy; (ii) in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior therapies and whose disease is refractory to at least two proteasome inhibitors, at least two immunomodulatory agents, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody; and (iii) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”), not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma, after at least two lines of systemic therapy. In addition, selinexor has been approved (or conditionally approved) in various indications in certain territories and countries outside of the U.S., including the European Union and United Kingdom under the brand name NEXPOVIO® (selinexor) and Australia, Singapore, Mainland China, South Korea, Israel and Canada.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2022 (“Annual Report”).

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2022 include the accounts of Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q are consistent with those discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our Annual Report.
