Overall response rate is percentage of participants with complete (CR), very good partial (VGPR), partial (PR), or minimal response (MR) as best response during treatment. CR * Disappearance of monoclonal protein by immunofixation * No histologic evidence of bone marrow involvement * Resolution of any adenopathy/organomegaly (confirmed by CT scan), or signs or symptoms attributable to WM. * Second immunofixation required for confirmation. VGPR -At least 90% reduction of serum monoclonal IgM concentration on protein electrophoresis. PR * At least 50% reduction of serum monoclonal IgM concentration on protein electrophoresis and at least 50% decrease in adenopathy/organomegaly on physical examination or on CT scan. * No new symptoms or signs of active disease. MR * At least 25% but less than 50% reduction of serum monoclonal IgM by protein electrophoresis. * No new symptoms or signs of active disease.

Percentage of Participants With Near Complete Response (nCR)/ Complete Response (CR) Rate

nCR plus CR rate after 8 cycles of therapy as defined by the modified European Society for Bone and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria per investigator assessment as the proportion of participants with nCR or CR as their best overall response.

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

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.

Best Response as Per Investigator Assessment by Stratum (FAS)
6 cycles of treatment with a 28-day treatment cycle (Day 168)

Response to treatment was defined as complete remission rate (CRR). CRR is complete remission (CR) and morphologic CR with incomplete blood count recovery (residual neutropenia or thrombocytopenia) (CRi). To stop or to proceed with Stage 2 of a given stratum of the Simon's optimal 2-stage design was based on the number of patients with CR/CRi and a safety evaluation of the patients from Stage 1 in that stratum. If early results clearly indicated that the drug was not active or worthy of further investigation, enrollment of that particular stratum would be terminated. CR and CRi were assessed by the Investigator according to IWG response Criteria for AML (Cheson et al 2003). As per protocol we would continue to stage II if ≥ 4 patients out of 26 patients enrolled to stage I had a CR or a CRi. As per response observed there was only 1 patient with CR/CRi in stratum A and 2 patients with CR/CRi in Stratum B.

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.

Objective response rate
12-18 weeks (foreseen participation of the patient in the study)

Objective response rate measured according to the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours).

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.

Progression-free Survival
18 months

Progression-free survival was defined as the interval from the date of first treatment with panobinostat until the date that disease progression or death occurred. Progressive disease (PD): 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum is observed during therapy), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm.

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.

LBH589 Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [Phase I]
Participants were assessed every 2 weeks while on study; The observation period for MTD evaluation was the first 30 days of treatment.

The MTD LBH589 in combination with bevacizumab 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on days 1 and 15 of each 28 day cycle is determined by the number of patients who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). See subsequent primary outcome measure for the DLT definition. The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which fewer than one-third of patients experience a DLT. If no DLTs are observed, the MTD is not reached but the highest dose received may be the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D). The MTD was not reached with 0 of 6 DLTs observed in the highest dose cohort but due to safety concerns higher doses of LBH589 with bevacizumab were neither planned nor tested. The RP2D was 30 mg/day orally, 3x per week, every other week.

Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [Phase I]
Participants were assessed every 2 weeks while on study; The observation period for DLT evaluation was the first 30 days of treatment.

A DLT was defined as an adverse event that (a) is related to the LBH589 and/or bevacizumab with an attribution of possible, probable, or definite, and (b) occurs during and/or begins during the first 30 days of the study treatment, and (c) meets any of the following criteria: grade 3 thrombocytopenia; grade 4 neutropenia lasting 7 days; grade 4 anemia lasting 7 days despite transfusion or growth factors; febrile neutropenia if ANC\<0.5 x10\^9/L; a QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) of 500-515 msec that did not stabilize to \<480 msec after one week; a second occurrence of QTc 500-515 msec; any QTc \>515 msec; any deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) while on fully therapeutic anticoagulation therapy; Grade 3 proteinuria lasting 14 days; or any other clinically significant Grade 3 toxicity despite maximal medical therapy lasting 7 days, any Grade 4 toxicity despite maximal medical therapy; or any Grade 3 or 4 toxicity resulting in study drug discontinuation.

6-Month Progression-Free Survival (PFS6) [Phase II]
Disease was assessed radiographically to document clinical progression every cycle on treatment and post-treatment every 8 weeks up to 12 months. Participants were followed for PFS6 up to 6 months since study entry.

PFS6 is the proportion of patients remaining alive and progression-free at 6-months from study entry. Progressive disease was established based on RANO criteria (Wen et al JCO 2010).
