Overview of Adverse Events (Safety Set)
Baseline up to approximately 60 months

Adverse events were collected from baseline up to 30 days post treatment at scheduled visits. Severity of adverse events was assessed according to the current version of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). If CTCAE grading did not exist for an adverse event, the severity of mild, moderate, severe, and life-threatening, corresponding to Grades 1 - 4, was used

The Best Overall Response Rate (ORR)
up to 4 years

The primary endpoint will be the best overall response rate (ORR). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Overall Response Rate for Len Refractory Patients
up to 4 years

The primary endpoint will be the best overall response rate (ORR)

Overall Response Rate (PR+nCR+CR)
after eight cycyles of treatment (24 weeks)

Overall response rate=(PR+nCR+CR) CR= \< 5% plasma cells in bone marrow. No confirmation on bone marrow plasma cell (additional assessment) is needed to document CR except patients with non-secretory myeloma where the bone marrow examination must be repeated after an interval of at least 6 weeks, Absence of M-protein in serum and urine by immunofixation,nCR same as CR without out Absence of M-protein in serum and urine by immunofixation,PR+ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and sofft tissue Plasmacytomas all for more than 6 weeks.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by the Investigator Based on Cheson Response Criteria
From the start of the treatment of last participant up to 32 weeks

ORR was number of participants with best overall disease response of complete response(CR)/partial response(PR).Best overall disease response was best disease response recorded from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence.CR=complete normalization of all index nodal,extranodal lesions,complete disappearance of all extranodal lesions.PR=50% decrease in SPD for up to 6 identified dominant lesions (splenic,hepatic nodules) from baseline.Stable=neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase for progressive disease (PD), reference smallest sum diameters while on study.Progression=50% increase in sum of longest diameter of all target lesions,from smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline/a new lesion/progression of non-target lesions.Unknown is progression not documented,one/more of index lesions not assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline at the time of radiologic evaluation.

Percentage of Participants With Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 24 Weeks
24 weeks

The PFS rate was defined as the percentage of participants that were alive without documented disease progression at the end of 24 weeks from first study treatment. Disease Progression as per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria: Measurable lesions: If target lesion was lymph node then it had to be at least 2 centimeter (cm) at baseline to assess change in size. Bone lesions: (non-target lesions) appearance of greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 unequivocal new lesions confirmed on a second scan at least 6 weeks later.

Overall Response Rate of Participants Using the Modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT)
Baseline up to 6 Months of Follow up

Skin response was primarily classified based on an assessment using mSWAT, provided there was documented evidence of stable disease or better in lymph node/viscera.The mSWAT is a tool specifically developed to evaluate the extent of skin disease in CTCL (Olsen et al 2007). Responses in the skin based on SWAT are defined as: * Complete Response (CR): no evidence of skin disease * Partial Response (PR): ≥ 50% decrease of the modified SWAT score compared with baseline * Stable Disease (SD): Neither CR, PR, or PD as compared with baseline, i.e. change from baseline is less than a 50% decrease but also less than a 25 % increase in the modified SWAT score * Progressive Disease (PD): ≥ 25% increase in the modified SWAT score compared with baseline.

Frequently asked questions about Panobinostat

What is Panobinostat used for?

Panobinostat is an investigational small molecule being studied for multiple oncology indications, including multiple myeloma in relapse, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), refractory leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, prostate cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not approved by the FDA.

Who makes Panobinostat?

Panobinostat is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in various cancer types, including Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

What phase is Panobinostat in?

Panobinostat is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. While some completed trials have explored Phase 2 and Phase 3 settings, the drug's overall development stage is Phase 1, and it remains investigational, not approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is Panobinostat in?

Panobinostat has been studied in several completed trials, including NCT00742027 for relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, NCT01034163 for maintenance in Hodgkin's lymphoma, NCT01083602 for relapsed and bortezomib-refractory multiple myeloma, and NCT01504776 for mantle cell lymphoma. All trials are completed.

Is Panobinostat the same as LBH589?

Panobinostat is also known by the alternative name LBH589. This alternative name may appear in clinical trial registries and scientific literature, referring to the same investigational drug being developed by Novartis for oncology indications.

How does Panobinostat work?

Panobinostat is a small molecule that targets histone deacetylases (HDACs), enzymes involved in gene expression regulation. By inhibiting HDAC activity, it may alter cancer cell growth and survival pathways. However, specific molecular targets have not been detailed in the available information.
