RESUMEN
Recently, outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma have improved dramatically due to improved and innovative therapies. However, most patients will either relapse or become refractory to current therapy.
Thus, a significant unmet need remains for novel agents to treat this patient population. Panobinostat, a potent pan-deacetylase inhibitor with a unique mechanism of action targeting both epigenetic regulation of gene expression and protein metabolism, has preclinical synergy with a number of agents, including the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib.
In a phase 3 trial of panobinostat with bortezomib and dexamethasone, addition of panobinostat significantly prolonged the median progression-free survival of patients with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.
This review focuses on clinical development of panobinostat, with particular emphasis on pharmacokinetics and adverse event management.
