Panobinostat (LBH589): Multiple Myeloma - Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)

October 28, 2022 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Evaluation of Panobinostat (LBH589) as Maintenance Therapy in Multiple Myeloma Following Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to learn more about ways to prevent or delay relapse of multiple myeloma (MM). This study will determine the best dosing schedule of LBH589 maintenance therapy as well as the safety (side effects) and tolerability of LBH589 maintenance therapy after autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) Per Cohort
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
Investigators will calculate RDI for each cohort. Relative dose intensity (RDI) represents the ratio of the amount of a drug actually delivered [actual dose intensity (DI)] to the amount planned (planned DI). The purpose of calculating RDI is to evaluate whether the planned DI of a chemotherapy treatment was actually achieved which may suggest the feasibility of planned treatment regimen. There are multitude of reports demonstrating a correlation between RDI and survival in cancer treatment. RDI = (total dose received by the patient = mg)/(planned full dose of drug = mg).
Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete Response Rate
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Complete Response (CR) rate to panobinostat maintenance therapy after autologous HCT. CR: Negative immunofixation of serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow.
Up to 5 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: at 2 years

Progressive Disease (PD) according to Uniform Response Reporting Criteria for Multiple Myeloma by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG). Increase of 25% from lowest response value in any of the following:

  • Serum M- component (absolute increase must be ≥ 0.5 g/dL)
  • Urine M-component (absolute increase must be ≥ 200 mg/24 h)
  • Only in patients without measurable serum and urine M protein levels and without measurable disease by free light chain (FLC) levels, bone marrow plasma cell percentage (absolute percentage must be ≥ 10% )
  • Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas
  • Development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium > 11.5 mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder
at 2 years
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: at 2 years
OS: The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive.
at 2 years
