Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior Histone Deacetylase(HDAC),Deacetylase(DAC), Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors or valproic acid for the treatment of cancer

• Patients who have received prior chemotherapy or investigational agent within the last 4 weeks prior to randomization (6 weeks for nitrosoureas and mitomycin; 2 weeks for capecitabine)

• Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to = 25% of the bone marrow within the last 4 weeks prior to randomization; local radiotherapy is allowed however all recently irradiated lesions should not be included in the measurable disease assessment

• Patients who have received prior investigational agents within the last 4 weeks prior to randomization

• Patients with unresolved diarrhea =CTCAE (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) grade 1

• Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of oral panobinostat

• History of cardiac dysfunction including any one of the following:

• Complete left bundle branch block or necessity for a permanent cardiac pacemaker or congenital long QT syndrome or history or presence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias or clinically significant resting bradycardia (<50 beats per minute) or QTcF > 450 msec on screening electrocardiogram(ECG) or right bundle branch block and left anterior hemiblock (bifascicular block)

• Presence of unstable atrial fibrillation (ventricular response rate >100 bpm). Patients with stable atrial fibrillation are allowed in the study provided they do not meet the other cardiac exclusion criteria

• Previous history angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction(MI) within 6 months of randomization

• Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV)

• Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. cardiomyopathy, cardiac artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen)

• Acute or chronic liver or renal disease

• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, active untreated or uncontrolled infection, chronic obstructive or chronic restrictive pulmonary disease including dyspnoea at rest from any cause) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol

• Concomitant use of drugs with a risk of causing torsades de pointes where such treatments cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug

• Brain metastases, unless patient randomized on study at least 90 days from completion of brain radiotherapy and / or surgery without radiologic or functional evidence of progressive brain metastases, and off corticosteroids above the dose of 7.5 mg prednisone or equivalent; No concurrent radiotherapy for brain metastasis is allowed

• Clinically significant third space fluid accumulation

• Concurrent bisphosphonates unless if initiated prior to study entry (at least 4 weeks before study randomization)

• Pregnant (i.e., positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin test) or breast feeding

• Unable to swallow oral medications

• Not willing to use a double barrier method of non-hormonal birth control. Contraception must be used during the study and for 90 days after last dose of study treatment.

• Patients with any significant history of non-compliance to medical regimens or with inability to grant a reliable informed consent

Primary	Overall Response (OR) Rate (as Determined by the Investigator): the Number of Patients Assigned to a Treatment Arm With a Confirmed Best Response of Complete Response(CR) or Partial Response (PR).	The assessment of OR is based on the response of target lesion, of non-target lesion and on presence of new lesions (RECIST Criteria (V1.0)-assessed by CT scan spiral and bone scan); CR:Disappearance of all target lesions; PR:>=30% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD),taking as reference the nadir SLD; Progressive Disease (PD):>=20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the nadir SLD, or the appearance of one or more new lesions; Stable Disease(SD):Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the nadir SLD	At screening, every 2 cycles (i.e. 6 weeks) during the first 6 cycles, every 3 cycles (i.e. 9 weeks) during the subsequent cycles and at the End of Treatment (EOT) visit. After the EOT, the tumor assessments should be performed every 9 weeks.	No
Secondary	Corrected QT Interval Fridericia's Formula (QTcF)	Prolonged QTcF: QTcF >450 msec and increase of baseline on greater than or equal to 60 msec.	Panobinostat intra-venous (i.v.): All cycles pre-dose measurements. For cycles 1 and 2, post-dose measurements as well. / Panobinostat oral: Pre-dose and post-dose measurements for all cycles. Note: each cycle = 3 weeks	Yes
