Overview

Generic Name(s):
panobinostat
Trade Name(s):
Faridak and Farydak
NCI Definition [1]:
A cinnamic hydroxamic acid analogue with potential antineoplastic activity. Panobinostat selectively inhibits histone deacetylase (HDAC), inducing hyperacetylation of core histone proteins, which may result in modulation of cell cycle protein expression, cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and apoptosis. In addition, this agent appears to modulate the expression of angiogenesis-related genes, such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1a) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thus impairing endothelial cell chemotaxis and invasion. HDAC is an enzyme that deacetylates chromatin histone proteins.

Panobinostat has been investigated in 12 clinical trials, of which 10 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials investigating panobinostat, 1 is early phase 1 (1 open), 8 are phase 1 (7 open), and 3 are phase 2 (2 open).

ER Negative, ER No Expression, and HER2 Deficient Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for panobinostat clinical trials.

Multiple myeloma, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia are the most common diseases being investigated in panobinostat clinical trials [2].
