A Phase Ib/IIb, Open-label, Multi-center, Study of Oral Panobinostat Administered With 5-Azacitidine (in Adult Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
A Phase Ib/IIb, Open-label, Multi-center, Study of Oral Panobinostat (LBH589) Administered With 5-Azacitidine (in Adult Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Detailed Description
The primary objective of the phase lb portion of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD )and/or recommended phase ll dose (RPIID) of oral panobinostat in combination with a fixed dose of 5-Aza in adult patients with International Prognostic Scoring System intermediate-2 (IPSS INT-2) or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
The primary objective of the phase llb portion of this study was to assess preliminary efficacy of treatment with the panobinostat and 5-Aza combination at the RPIID relative to treatment with single agent 5-Aza through the assessment of composite CR (complete response (CR) or CRi or bone marrow CR).
In the phase lb phase of the study, the patients received escalating oral doses of panobinostat commencing in Cycle 1. The starting dose for panobinostat was 20 mg/day administered orally commencing on Day 3. Each treatment cycle consisted of 28 days (4 weeks). In each cycle, panobinostat was administered twice in Week 1 (Day 3, Day 5), thrice in Week 2 (Day 8, Day 10, and Day 12) and once in Week 3 (Day 15), with no dosing in Week 4. Successive cohorts of patients received escalating doses of panobinostat until the MTD/RPIID was determined. The dose of 5-Aza was fixed at 75 mg/m2/day for 7 days in Week 1 of each cycle.
After the MTD/RPIID was determined, enrollment in the Phase Ib part was closed and the Phase IIb part of the study commenced. Ongoing patients from the Phase Ib part continued their treatment at the assigned dose level according to the regimen and schedule for the Phase Ib part.
Once the RPIID was defined in Phase Ib, additional 80 patients were to be enrolled into the Phase IIb part of the study and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio receiving the RPIID of panobinostat plus 5-Aza (investigational arm) or single agent 5-Aza (active control arm). The treatment schedule for the investigational arm was the same as that for the Phase Ib. Single agent 5-Aza (active control arm) was administered according to the locally approved label (75mg/m2 daily for 7 days). Patients continued treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or consent withdrawal, whichever came first.

Overall survival was defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.
If a patient was not known to have died, survival was censored at the date of last contact.
Patients not known to have died were censored for 'Lost to follow-up' if the time between their last contact date and the analysis cut-off date was longer than 3 months and 2 weeks (104 days) during the first year after study evaluation completion, and longer than 6 months and 2 weeks (194 days), thereafter.
The 1-year survival rate was obtained from the Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival, and its variance was estimated by Greenwood's formula.

Time to Progression (TTP) (Phase Llb)
Time Frame: 48 months

Time to progression (TTP) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented PD per investigator's assessment or death due to study indication. Time to progression was analyzed by the Kaplan Meier method.
