Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Panobinostat

Participants received panobinostat 20 milligrams (mg) orally once daily (OD), three times a week on days: 1, 3 and 5, then 8, 10 and 12, then 15, 17 and 19 of each cycle, as part of a 3-week (21 days) treatment cycle. Participants could continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Drug: LBH589
Other Names:
  • Panobinostat
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Response Rate (Complete Response(CR) / Partial Response (PR)) [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      The response (complete response (CR) / partial response (PR)) rate as per Bladé criteria was assessed by the investigator. Response to treatment was evaluated in participants with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least two prior lines of therapy and whose disease was refractory to the most recent line of therapy.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      Overall response rate is the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria (Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

    2. Clinical Benefit Rate [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      Clinical benefit rate is defined by the percentage of participants achieving either a confirmed tumor response or stable disease (SD) for at least 24 weeks. Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) is a system for measuring tumor shrinkage or progression in terms of the longest dimensions of the tumor on imaging scans such as computerized tomography (CT). A "partial response" requires a decrease of 30% or more, "Progression" requires an increase of at least 20%, and "Stable disease" falls in between these two. All responses have a repeat assessment to confirm the response

    3. Duration of Response [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      Duration of response is defined as time between time to first documented response (CR/PR) and time to first documented disease progression or death.

    4. Time to Response [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      Time to response is defined as time between Day 1 cycle 1 and time to first documented response (CR/PR).

    5. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      Progressions free survival is defined as time between Day 1 cycle 1 and time to first documented disease progression or death. Disease progression will be determined as per response criteria.

    6. Safety and Tolerability [From Start of the Study up to 57 Weeks approximately.]

      Adverse Event (AE) are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgment of investigators represent significant hazards.

    7. Time to Peak Concentration (Tmax) of Panobinostat [Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8]

      Tmax is defined as the time at which the Cmax occurs. It will be obtained from the Tmax parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable Cmax in the subject's pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, then Tmax will be missing for that subject. Tmax will be reported in units of h.

    8. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Panobinostat [Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8]

      Cmax is defined as the maximum observed drug concentration observed in plasma over all PK sample concentrations. It will be obtained from the Cmax parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable concentration in the subject's PK profile, then Cmax will be missing for that subject. Cmax will be reported in units of ng/mL.

    9. Area Under the Plasma Concentration (AUC0-24) of Panobinostat [Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8]

      Area under the curve (AUC) is defined as the area under concentration-time curve as a measure of drug exposure. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours.

    10. Last Observed Plasma Concentration (Clast) of Panobinostat [Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8]

      Clast is defined as the Last observed (quantifiable) plasma concentration (Clast), in units of ng/mL. Blood samples were collected to assess Clast.

    11. Time of Clast (Tlast) of Panobinostat [Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8]

      Time of Clast (Tlast) will be obtained from the Tlast parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable concentration in the subject's PK profile, then Tlast will be missing for that participants. Tlast will be reported in units of h.

This includes the development of disease progression during maintenance or consolidation therapy with high dose glucocorticoids, or any other specific MM therapy Sixty days is counted from the point in time when the first response assessment is performed after completion of the last line of therapy. At a maximum, disease progression should be documented within 100 days after the last day of the last dose of any anti-MM therapy, including if last regimen of the most recent line of therapy was Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT).

    Title Time to Peak Concentration (Tmax) of Panobinostat
    Description Tmax is defined as the time at which the Cmax occurs. It will be obtained from the Tmax parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable Cmax in the subject's pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, then Tmax will be missing for that subject. Tmax will be reported in units of h.
    Time Frame Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The analysis was performed in Pharmacokinetic Analysis (PAS) population, defined as all participants who provide at least one post-dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) plasma sample. Here, number of participants analyzed refer to the number of participants evaluable for this outcome at specified time point.
    Arm/Group Title Panobinostat
    Arm/Group Description Participants received panobinostat 20 mg orally OD, three times a week on days: 1, 3 and 5, then 8, 10 and 12, then 15, 17 and 19 of each cycle, as part of a 3-week (21 days) treatment cycle. Participants could continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    Title Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Panobinostat
    Description Cmax is defined as the maximum observed drug concentration observed in plasma over all PK sample concentrations. It will be obtained from the Cmax parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable concentration in the subject's PK profile, then Cmax will be missing for that subject. Cmax will be reported in units of ng/mL.
    Time Frame Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8
