neuroendocrine tumors, but including ampullary cancer) with progression after
standard first line therapy that included gemcitabine (single agent or combination)

- Measurable disease on computated tomography (CT) scan per Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria

- At least 28 days from previous systemic therapy, including investigational agents and
1st dose of study treatment and recovered from any acute toxic effects of that
treatment before study enrollment.

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) or Alanine transaminase (ALT/SGPT) < or =
2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)or ≤ 5.0 x ULN if the transaminase
elevation is due to disease involvement

- Serum bilirubin < or = 1.5 x ULN

enrolled

- Baseline multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO) must
demonstration left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > or = 50%

thyroid hormone supplements to treat underlying hypothyroidism.

prior to panobinostat treatment

- Impaired cardiac function

- Complete left bundle branch block or use of a permanent cardiac pacemaker,
congenital long QT syndrome, history or presence of ventricular
tachyarrhythmias, clinically significant resting bradycardia (<50 beats per
minute), QTcF > 450 msec on screening ECG, or right bundle branch block + left
anterior hemiblock (bifascicular block)

- Anyone with unresolved diarrhea > or = grade 2 at time of enrollment

- Impairment of gastrointestinal function or disease that may significantly alter the
absorption of panobinostat

- Grade 2 or greater peripheral neuropathy within 14 days of enrollment

- Serious concomitant medical or psychiatric disorders (e.g., active infection,
uncontrolled diabetes)

- Patients who have received chemotherapy, any investigational agent or undergone major
surgery < 4 weeks prior to starting study drug

- Male patients whose sexual partners are WOCBP and not using double method of
contraception during the study and 3 months following.

- Known positivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C

- Hypersensitivity to bortezomib, boron or mannitol History of another primary
malignancy within 5 years other than curatively treated CIS of the cervix, or basal
or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Progression-Free Survival

Outcome Description:

Median number of months before disease progressed in patient on gemcitabine when treated with the combination of panobinostat and bortezomib. Progression free survival is measured from randomization until the subject has documented disease progression by an objective measure. Subjects must be alive with no more than 20% increase in tumor size to qualify for progression free survival. Changes in tumor size are defined by RECIST criteria.

Outcome Time Frame:

Up to 1 Year

Safety Issue:

No
