Trial Review
COVID-19 studies are our top priority. For all other trials, there is a 4-week delay in processing a trial submitted/resubmitted to the ANZCTR and additional delays for updates of registered trials. We appreciate your patience.
The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is an open label, phase II, multicentre study evaluating the anti-tumour activity of continuous, low dose of panobinostat in patients with refractory solid tumours stratified by primary histology into osteosarcoma, malignant rhabdoid tumour/atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (MRT/ATRT), and neuroblastoma.
Patients will be stratified at study entry by tumour type into 3 strata: osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma and MRT/ATRT.
Patients will be enrolled onto the study following completion of their conventional therapy including chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment and completion of a three-week wash out period.
Panobinostat will then be administered as a continuous daily oral dose (starting at 10mg/m2 per day), for up to a year. Minimum dose is 2mg/m2 per day, maximum dose is 16mg/m2 per day. Dosing will follow a dose de-escalation or escalation scheme for each stratum which will be determined by biological effect of the drug (measured in patient peripheral blood samples) and levels of toxicity (measured by dose limiting toxicity and adverse event observed). Dose levels for subsequent enrolments in each strata will be based on the de-escalated or escalated dose in each cohort. The final dose per strata will be that which achieves significant biological effect with acceptable toxicity that is maintained for a 4 week period.
Participants (or their parent/guardian) will be required to maintain a daily drug dosing form to monitor drug usage throughout the trial.

Statistical methods / analysis
The target enrolment is 20 participants per strata: 1) Osteosarcoma, 2) Neuroblastoma and 3) MRT/ATRT.
The study will employ a Simon two-stage minimax design (Simon, et al , 1989). Stage 2 will proceed if disease stability at 4 months is observed in three or more of the first nine patients in that strata and less than 30% of patients experience a dose limiting toxicity at the final dose level.
The Clinical Benefit Rate (percentage of participants with stable disease or better) will be calculated with a 95% CI. Time to progression (TTP) will be calculated as the time from registration to date of event defined as the first documented progression or death resulting from underlying cancer. TTP and Overall Survival will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are less than 40 years old and have relapsed or refractory osteosarcoma, rhabdoid tumour and/or neuroblastoma.
Study details
All participants will receive oral Panobinostat for up to 12 months after completing their conventional therapy. Participants will have physical examinations, blood tests, urine tests, ECGs and imaging, including MRI/CT, MIBG or FDG-PET (depending on tumour type).
This study will test the effectiveness of this new drug in paediatric, adolescent and young adult patients in cases where treatment options are limited.
