Bevacizumab is frequently used to treat patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG), but responses are generally not durable. Panobinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor with anti-neoplastic and anti-angiogenic effects and may work synergistically with VEGF inhibitors. We performed a phase I study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of orally administered panobinostat with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent HGG. Patients with recurrent HGG were treated on a 3 + 3 trial design. Patients received bevacizumab 10 mg/kg every other week in combination with oral panobinostat. The starting dose of panobinostat was 20 mg three times per week, weekly (cohort 1). Due to concerns for thrombocytopenia with the weekly dosing regimen, the protocol was amended to examine an every other week regimen. Cohort 2 received panobinostat 20 mg three times per week, every other week, and cohort 3 received 30 mg three times per week, every other week. Dose-limiting toxicity during the first 30 days was used to determine the maximum-tolerated dose. Twelve patients (median age 50, median KPS 90) with recurrent HGG were enrolled. One dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (Grade 3 thrombocytopenia) was observed in cohort 1. No DLTs were observed in cohorts 2 and 3. The following grade 3 toxicities were seen in one patient each: thrombocytopenia, hypophosphatemia, esophageal hemorrhage, and deep venous thrombosis. There were no grade 4 or 5 toxicities. There were three patients with partial responses and seven with stable disease. The recommended doses for further study are oral panobinostat 30 mg three times per week, every other week, in combination with bevacizumab 10 mg/kg every other week. A phase II clinical trial in recurrent HGG is underway.

D001932	Brain Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005910	Glioma	Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
