In addition, the DFCI clinical team led by Dr. Paul Richardson that DGMRF supports was involved in all 4 drugs that came to the market. This highlights that with a relatively new and small foundation, DGMRF contributed to making real changes in the field of myeloma thanks to the team it selected to fully support.

      • February 2015: Approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Panobinostat for the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM.Panobinostat, which falls within a category of drugs called HDAC inhibitors, is the first of its kind to receive FDA approval for clinical use in MM patients—providing a new therapeutic option for patients who no longer respond to standard treatment. Nearly a decade ago, Dr. Mitsiades’ preclinical studies first demonstrated that broad-spectrum anti-HDAC drugs can augment the response of myeloma cells to proteasome inhibitors (such as Bortezomib) or to immunomodulatory Thalidomide derivatives. The pivotal randomized phase III clinical trial PANORAMA 1, combining the broad-spectrum HDAC inhibitor Panobinostat with Bortezomib, validated Dr. Mitsiades’ work. Dr. Richardson was senior investigator on the Panobinostat trial, which provided the basis for the drug’s FDA approval.
