Real-world outcomes with panobinostat in patients with penta- and quad-refractory multiple myeloma.

2017 
e19522Background: Panobinostat (pano) is a pan histone de-acetylatase inhibitor (HDAC-i) approved by the FDA for use with bortezomib (btz) and dexamethasone (dex) for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have had ≥2 prior lines of therapy including both btz and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD). The goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pano in combination with a variety of FDA approved agents as would be utilized in a real world management in relapsed/refractory (RR) MM. Methods: Between February 2015 and July 2016, 37 consecutive patients with RRMM treated with commercial pano were identified and the electronic medical record was reviewed. Results: Median age was 62 (range 27-78), with 57% percent male. Ten (27%) had high-risk FISH as defined by t(14;16), t(4;14), del p53, and gain 1q21. Median number of prior lines was 6 (range 2-9). All patients were RR to their last line of therapy, and 20 (54%) were btz-refractory, 27 (73%) were lenalidomide-refractory, 29 (78%...
