Following an initial “no” vote from the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) in late 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration eventually awarded accelerated approval in February 2015 to the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor panobinostat for use in select patients with relapsed multiple myeloma. Panobinostat has a novel mechanism of action that demonstrates synergy with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and the immunomodulatory agent dexamethasone, which translated into improved progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with multiple myeloma who had received at least 2 prior therapies, according to data from a prespecified subgroup analysis from the Panorama-1 trial.
