Clinical Trial Summary

This will be a single arm Phase II study.

Description:

LBH589 (20 mg PO) will be administered three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Treatment will be given over 21 days followed by a 7 day rest period and repeated every 28 days. Patients will be assessed for toxicity on an ongoing basis and disease assessment will be determined every 2 treatment cycles (8 weeks).

Treatment will be discontinued if there is evidence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity and/or at the discretion of the investigator.

• Chemotherapy, investigational drug therapy, major surgery < 4 weeks prior to starting study drug or patients that have not recovered from side effects of previous therapy.

• Patient is < 5 years free of another primary malignancy except if the other primary malignancy is not currently clinically significant or requiring active intervention, or if other primary malignancy is a basal cell skin cancer or a cervical carcinoma in situ. Existence of any other malignant disease is not allowed.

• Women who are pregnant or breast feeding or women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) not willing to use a double barrier method of contraception during the study and 3 months after the end of treatment. One of these methods of contraception must be a barrier method.

• Male patients whose sexual partners are WOCBP not using a double method of contraception during the study and 3 months after the end of treatment. One of these methods must be a condom.

• Patients with gastrointestinal (GI) tract disease, causing the inability to take oral medication, malabsorption syndrome, a requirement for intravenous (IV) alimentation, prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, uncontrolled inflammatory GI disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).

• Other concurrent severe, uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection or intercurrent illness, including but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

• Patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy.

• Abnormal thyroid function (TSH or free T4) detected at screening. Patients with known hypothyroidism who are stable on thyroid replacement are eligible.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Overall Response Rate (CR, Marrow CR + PR) of LBH in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory MDS.	Overall response rate (ORR) is defined by the modified International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for MDS. In the marrow, Complete Response (CR) is <= 5% blasts present with normal maturation of all cell lines. In peripheral blood, CR is defined as hemoglobin >= 11 g/dL, ANC >= 1000/mL, and platelets >= 100,000 with 0% blasts present. Partial Response (PR) is defined the same as CR with blasts decreased by >= 50% and >= 5% blasts in the marrow.	Every 8 weeks up to 24 months on-study.
Secondary	Time to Disease Progression	Time to disease progression is defined as the time between day 1 cycle 1 and time to first documented disease progression. Disease progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.	Every 8 weeks up to 24 months on-study, every 3 months in follow-up until progression of disease
Secondary	Hematologic Improvement, Including Transfusion Independence	Hematologic measures will include total WBC and platelets	Every 8 weeks up to 24 months on-study
Secondary	Duration of Response	Duration of response is defined as the time from when objective response is realized until time to first documented disease progression. Disease progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Objective Response = CR + PR. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.	Every 8 weeks up to 24 months on-study
Secondary	Median Time to Treatment Failure	Time to treatment failure is defined as measuring the time between cycle 1 day 1 to discontinuation for any reason.	24 months
Secondary	Median Overall Survival	The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death	24 months on-study, patients followed every 3 months in follow-up
Secondary	Safety and Tolerability of LBH589 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory MDS by Measuring the Number of Participants With Adverse Events	The reported incidence of AEs and SAEs with an onset on or after the initiation of therapy was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0	24 months
