This study is intended for patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma, who have received at least one prior line of therapy. Patients must require retreatment as per IMWG definitions (Kyle et al 2003). Approximately 50-100 patients are expected to be enrolled into this trial.
Patient has a previous diagnosis of multiple myeloma, based on IMWG 2003 definitions all three of the following criteria had been met:
Monoclonal immunoglobulin (M component) on electrophoresis, and on immunofixation on serum or on total 24 hour urine (or demonstration of M protein in cytoplasm of plasma cell for non secretory myeloma).
Bone marrow (clonal) plasma cells ≥ 10% or biopsy proven plasmacytoma
Related organ or tissue impairment (CRAB symptoms: anemia, hypercalcemia, lytic bone lesions, renal insufficiency, hyperviscosity, amyloidosis or recurrent infections)
Patients who have received allogeneic stem cell transplant and do not have active graft vs host disease requiring immunosuppressive therapy are eligible.
Patient with multiple myeloma (per IMWG 2003 definition) that is relapsed and/or refractory to at least one prior line of therapy and requires retreatment
Relapsed-and-refractory to a therapy, provided that the patient meets any of the following conditions:
Relapsed, defined by disease that recurred in a patient that responded under a prior therapy, by reaching a MR or better, and had not progressed under this therapy nor up to 60 days of last dose of this therapy. Patients who previously responded to treatment with BTZ are eligible.
Patient has relapsed to at least one prior line and patient was refractory to at least one prior line by either not reaching a MR, or progressed while under this therapy, or within 60 days of its last dose. Patients previously refractory to BTZ are also eligible.
Patients with primary refractory disease are eligible.
Patients who have previously received high dose therapy/autologous stem cell transplant are eligible
Patients who have received allogeneic stem cell transplant and do not have active graft vs host disease requiring immunosuppressive therapy are eligible
You may not be if
Patient has shown intolerance to bortezomib, dexamethasone or panobinostat or has any contraindications to any of these therapies. following available prescribing information
Allogeneic stem cell transplant recipient presenting with graft versus host disease either active or requiring immunosuppression
Patient has grade ≥ 2 peripheral neuropathy or grade 1 peripheral neuropathy with pain on clinical examination within 14 days of treatment
Patient taking any anti-cancer therapy concomitantly
Patient has second primary malignancy \< 3 years of first dose of study treatment (except for treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma, or in situ cancer of the cervix)
