FDA Approves Farydak (Panobinostat) For The Treatment Of Multiple Myeloma

In November 2014, the FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee advised the agency that, based on the data reviewed, the drug's benefits did not outweigh its risks for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma. After the meeting, the company submitted additional information supporting Farydak's use for a different indication: patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior standard therapies, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent.
