A phase 2 study of intravenous panobinostat in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Panobinostat, a pan-deacetylase inhibitor, increases acetylation of proteins associated with growth and survival of malignant cells. This phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy of intravenous (IV) panobinostat in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who had previously received chemotherapy. The primary end point was 24-week progression-free survival. Secondary end points included safety, tolerability, and the proportion of patients with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline.

Methods

IV panobinostat (20 mg/m(2)) was administered to patients on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. Tumor response was assessed by imaging every 12 weeks (4 cycles) according to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (Scher et al. in Clin Cancer Res 11:5223-
