Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of LBH589 as single agent and in combination with ESA in red blood cell transfusion-dependent Low and Int-1 MDS patients being either refractory to ESA or with a low probability of response. The study had a non-randomized core phase followed by a randomized phase.

Study Groups

LBH589

During the core phase, all participants received oral LBH589 40 mg (30 mg after a protocol amendment) for 4 months. During the randomization phase, participants with hematological improvement of the erythropoetic system (HI-E) and participants with stable disease, who were randomized to single agent LBH589, continued on single agent LBH589 40mg/30mg for an additional 4 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LBH589

Intervention Type DRUG

LBH589 was supplied at dose strengths of 5 mg or 20 mg hard gelatin capsules.

LBH589 + Epoetin Alfa

During the randomized phase, participants randomized to LBH589 + Epoetin Alfa (ESA) received oral LBH589 40mg/30mg + ESA 30000 international units (IU)/week injected subcutaneously for 4 months.
