This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selinexor combined with chidamide in the treatment of unfit R/R AML.

This protocol corresponds to a multicenter, open-label, single arm, prospective study designed to determine the efficacy and safety of selinexor in combination with chidamide for unfit R/R AML.

Selinexor will be given orally at 40 or 60mg on d1,4,8,11; Chidamide will be given orally at 10mg on d1-28; 28 days per cycle. patients can receive transplants at any time once they achieved complete remission and other patients will continue to receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 to 6 months for up to 2 years.

Study design allows 42 patients.

   3. Moderate hepatic impairment with total bilirubin > 1.5 to <= 3.0 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN);
   4. Creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min to < 45 ml/min;
