Participant has a history of classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) (i.e. Nodular sclerosing, Mixed-cellularity, Lymphocyte-rich, Lymphocyte depleted). 4. Participant has progressive disease after receiving high dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT). Note: If last therapy was = 18 months ago, then biopsy should be performed to confirm diagnosis. Note: Participant should have received = 5 prior systemic treatment regimens (See Post-text supplement 2 for definitions and examples). Note: Participant will be allowed on study who have also received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant, however this therapy alone is not sufficient for inclusion into this study. 5. Participant has at least one site of measurable nodal disease at baseline = 2.0 centimeter (cm) in the longest transverse diameter and clearly measurable in at least two perpendicular dimensions, as determined by computed tomography (CT) scan (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] is allowed only if CT scan can not be performed). Note: Participant with bone marrow involvement are eligible, but this criteria alone should not be used for disease measurement. 6. Participant has the following laboratory values (labs may be repeated, if needed, to obtain acceptable values before screen fail): - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1.5 x 10^9/liter (L) [International System of Units {SI} units 1.5 x 10^9/L]. - Platelet count = 75 x 10^9/L. - Serum potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, total calcium (corrected for serum albumin) or ionized calcium within normal limits (WNL) for the institution. Note: Potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and/or phosphorus supplements may be given to correct values that are < lower limits of normal (LLN). Post-correction values must not be deemed to be a clinically significant abnormality prior to participant being dosed. - Serum creatinine = 1.5 x upper limits of normal (ULN). - Serum bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN (or = 3.0 x ULN, if participant has Gilbert syndrome). - Aspartate transaminase (AST)/ serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and/or alanine transaminase (ALT)/ serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) = 2.5 x ULN or = 5.0 x ULN if the transaminase elevation is due to disease involvement. 7.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by the Investigator Based on Cheson Response Criteria ORR was number of participants with best overall disease response of complete response(CR)/partial response(PR).Best overall disease response was best disease response recorded from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence.CR=complete normalization of all index nodal,extranodal lesions,complete disappearance of all extranodal lesions.PR=50% decrease in SPD for up to 6 identified dominant lesions (splenic,hepatic nodules) from baseline.Stable=neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase for progressive disease (PD), reference smallest sum diameters while on study.Progression=50% increase in sum of longest diameter of all target lesions,from smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline/a new lesion/progression of non-target lesions.Unknown is progression not documented,one/more of index lesions not assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline at the time of radiologic evaluation. From the start of the treatment of last participant up to 32 weeks
Secondary Response Rate Based on Central Review of Computed Tomography (CT) Scan/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Best overall radiological response (CT/MRI) was recorded from start of treatment until progression/ recurrence. CR=complete normalization of all index nodal,extranodal lesions,complete disappearance of all extranodal lesions.PR=50% decrease in SPD for up to 6 identified dominant lesions (splenic,hepatic nodules) from baseline.Stable=neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase for progressive disease (PD), reference smallest sum diameters while on study.Progression=50% increase in sum of longest diameter of all target lesions,from smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline/a new lesion/progression of non-target lesions.Unknown is progression not documented,one/more of index lesions not assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline at the time of radiologic evaluation. From start of treatment until progression/recurrence or start of a new cancer therapy (up to approximately 5 years)
Secondary Time To Overall Disease Response in Responders Time to overall disease response (CR or PR) was defined as the time from the date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of first documented disease response (PR or CR). Per Cheson response criteria, CR= is a complete normalization of all index nodal and extranodal lesions and complete disappearance of all extranodal lesions. PR= is a 50% decrease in the SPD for up to 6 identified dominant lesions, including splenic and hepatic nodules from baseline. Participants were considered responders if they had a partial or complete response to a treatment while in the study as per Investigator's assessment. From the start of treatment up to approximately 5 years
Secondary Duration of Overall Disease Response Duration of overall response (CR or PR) was defined as the time from the date of first documented disease response (CR or PR) to the date of first documented progression or death due to lymphoma. Per Cheson response criteria, CR= is a complete normalization of all index nodal and extranodal lesions and complete disappearance of all extranodal lesions. PR= is a 50% decrease in the SPD for up to 6 identified dominant lesions, including splenic and hepatic nodules from baseline. Participants were considered responders if they had a partial or complete response to a treatment while in the study. From the start of treatment up to approximately 5 years
Secondary Progression Free Survival (PFS) Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a participant has not had an event, progression-free survival was censored at the date of the last adequate assessment. From the start of treatment up to approximately 5 years
Secondary The Overall Survival (OS) OS was the duration from date of randomization to date of death from any cause. If a participant has not had an event, overall survival was censored at the date of the last adequate assessment. Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to approximately 5 years)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), And Deaths as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of Panobinostat An AE is the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s) occurring after signing the informed consent even if the event is not considered to be related to the study drug(s). SAEs are AEs leading to death, are life-threatening, require hospitalizations or prolongation of hospitalizations, represent an innate malformation or a congenital abnormality. Up to approximately 5 years
Secondary Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Panobinostat Cycle 1, Day 1: Pre-dose, 0.25, 1, 3, 5, 7, 24, and 28 hours post-dose
Secondary The Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Panobinostat Cycle 1, Day 1: Pre-dose, 0.25, 1, 3, 5, 7, 24, and 28 hours post-dose
