Panobinostat is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Panobinostat is used in combination with other drugs to treat multiple myeloma. Panobinostat is usually given after other cancer medicines have been tried without success.

Panobinostat was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on an "accelerated" basis. In clinical studies, the medicine slowed progression of the disease. However, it has not been shown that panobinostat can improve symptoms or lengthen survival time.
