Brief Summary

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and carfilzomib in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back or that isn't responding to treatment. Carfilzomib keeps cancer cells from repairing themselves. If the cancer cells cannot repair themselves, they may die. Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving panobinostat and carfilzomib may work better in treating participants with multiple myeloma.

Conditions

Non-Secretory Plasma Cell Myeloma; Plasmacytosis; Recurrent Plasma Cell Myeloma; Refractory Plasma Cell Myeloma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug combination

  At 28 days

• Incidence of adverse events per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0

  Up to 8 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Time to progression

  30 days after the last dose is given

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (carfilzomib, panobinostat)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive carfilzomib IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 and panobinostat PO QD on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 of each course. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 8 courses, participants may continue carfilzomib IV on days 1, 2, 15, and 16, and panobinostat PO on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 of each course. If the disease becomes worse, participants can receive carfilzomib on the original dosing schedule (days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each course).

• ECOG Performance Status of \</= 2
• Creatinine clearance (CrCl) \>/= 30 mL/minute within 28 days prior to registration, either measured or calculated using a standard formula (eg, Cockcroft and Gault)
• Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO) must demonstrate LVEF \>/= 45%.
• Female patients who: Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR Are surgically sterile, OR If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 30 days after the last dose of study drug, or agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse. Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who: Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug, OR Agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse.

You may not qualify if:

• Valproic acid for the treatment of cancer
• Patients who will need valproic acid for any medical condition during the study or within 5 days prior to first panobinostat treatment
• Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any one of the following: \* History or presence of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia. (Patients with a history of atrial arrhythmia are eligible) \* Any history of ventricular fibrillation or torsade de pointes \* Bradycardia defined as heart rate (HR)\< 50 bpm.

• Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of panobinostat
• Patients with diarrhea \> Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2
• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes or active or uncontrolled infection) including abnormal laboratory values, that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
• Patients using medications that have a relative risk of prolonging the QT interval or inducing torsade de pointes if treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug
• Patients who have received chemotherapy within \</= 2 weeks by time of cycle 1 day 1 of therapy on trial ; or radiation therapy to \> 30% of marrow-bearing bone within 2 weeks prior to starting study treatment; or who have not yet recovered from side effects of such therapies.
