Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To explore the antitumor activity of panobinostat in term of overall response (OR) at the end of the induction phase (i.e. month 6 from the beginning of panobinostat)
    Protection of trial subjects
    For patients who are unable to tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose adjustments are permitted in order to keep the patient on study drug. These dose adjustments comprise delays in dosing and/or reductions in the dose being administered. Dosing should always be temporarily discontinued if the physician determines it is in the best interest of the patient. All dose modifications must be recorded on the Dosage Administration Record form. The dose of panobinostat may be modified for a patient during any cycle. The first dose adjustment consists in the modification of panobinostat administration from three times every week (QW) to three times every other week (QOW). Subsequent dose adjustments consist in panobinostat dose reductions. Dosages lower than 30 mg three times QOW are not permitted. When and if it is determined that a patient would require a dose below 30 mg QOW, the patient should be discontinued from study treatment.

    Arm description
    Patients will receive panobinostat. The treatment is divided in three phases: induction phase (course 1 to 6), consolidation phase (courses 7 to 12), maintenance phase (from course 13 until the end of therapy for any reason). The duration of a treatment course will be 28 days. The first dose of panobinostat in course 1 defines day 1 of the treatment cycle, and each cycle thereafter will begin 28 days later.

    Dosage and administration details
    Panobinostat should be taken p.o. at the dose of 40mg/day three-times every week (QW),as part of 28 days treatment cycle. Induction phase Patients will receive panobinostat for 6 courses.Response assessment will be performed every 2 courses until the end of the induction phase.Patients with responsive (CR/PR) or stable disease during each assessment will complete the induction phase. Consolidation phase Response assessment will be performed every 3 courses until course 12.Patients with responsive or stable disease will continue with maintenance. Maintenance phase Patients will continue therapy until disease progression, intolerability, withdrawal of consent and/or if the investigator determines that further therapy is not in the patient’s best interest. Response assessment will be performed every three courses until course 36.For patients still in therapy after course 36,the subsequents response assessments will be performed according to each institutional policy.
