Study of LBH589, A Deacetylase Inhibitor in Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2017-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of a drug called LBH589 when given to people with recurrent or refractory Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The safety of this drug will also be studied. The participants' physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, or state of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and laboratory findings taken while on-study will help the researchers decide if LBH589 is safe and effective.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Lead Sponsor: Roswell Park Cancer Institute
• Collaborator: Novartis
• Treatments: Panobinostat

Laboratory requirements:

• ANC ≥ 1.5 x 10(9th)/L, unless due to bone marrow involvement with lymphoma

• ECOG Performance Status of ≤ 2

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior HDAC, DAC, HSP90 inhibitors or valproic acid for the treatment of cancer

• Patients who will need valproic acid for any medication during the study or within 5 days prior to first LBH589 treatment

• Peripheral neuropathy ≥ CTCAE grade 1

• Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any one of the following:

• Patients with congenital QT syndrome

• History or presence of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia.

• Any history of ventricular fibrillation or torsade de pointes

• Bradycardia defined as Heart Rate < 50 bpm. Patients with pacemakers are eligible if Heart Rate ≥ 50 bpm

• Screening EKG with a QTc.450msec

• Right Bundle branch block + left anterior hemiblock (bifascicular block)

• Patients with myocardial infarction or unstable angina ≤ 6 months prior to starting study drug

• other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. CHF NY Heart Association class III or IV, uncontrolled hypertension, history of labile hypertension or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen)

• Impairment of GI function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of LBH589

• Patients with Diarrhea > CTCAE grade 1

• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes or active or uncontrolled infection) including abnormal laboratory values that could cause unaccepted safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol

• Patients using medications that have a relative risk of prolonging the QT interval or inducing torsade de pointes if treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug

• Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors

• Patients who have received targeted agents within 2 weeks or within 5 half-lives of the agent and active metabolites(which ever is longer) and who have not recovered from side effects of those therapies

• Patients who have received either immunotherapy within ≤ 8 weeks;chemotherapy within ≤ 4 weeks or radiation therapy to >30% of marrow-bearing bone within ≤ weeks prior to starting study treatment or who have not yet recovered from side effects of such therapies

• Patients with an active bleeding tendency or is receiving any treatment with therapeutic doses of sodium warfarin or coumadin derivatives. Low doses of Coumadin (e.g.≤2 mg/day) to maintain line patency is allowed.

• Patients who have undergone major surgery ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy

• Women who are pregnant or breast feeding or women of childbearing potential not using effective method of birth control

• Male patients whose sexual partners are women of childbearing potential not using effective birth control

• Patients with prior malignancy within 5 years (except for basal or squamous cell carcinoma, in situ cancer of the cervix or early stage prostate or bladder carcinomas)

• Patients with known positivity for HIV or hepatitis C: baseline testing for HIV and Hepatitis C is not required

• Prior allogenic stem cell transplant

• Patients with any significant history of non-compliance to medical regimens or unwilling or unable to comply with the instructions given to him/her by the study staff

• Patients taking CYP2D6 inhibitors should be carefully monitored, but these drugs are not necessarily contraindicated when use concomitantly with LBH. Use of these drugs is not an exclusion criterion
