Severe and fatal cardiac ischemic events, as well as severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving panobinostat. Panobinostat may prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval). Do not initiate treatment with panobinostat in patients with a QTcF >450 msec or clinically significant baseline ST-segment or T-wave abnormalities. If during treatment, the QTcF increases to >=480 msec, interrupt treatment. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. It is recommended to obtain ECG at baseline and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated. Monitor patient hydration status and electrolyte blood levels, including potassium, magnesium and phosphate, at baseline and frequently as clinically indicated during therapy and correct to prevent dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. If QT prolongation does not resolve, permanently discontinue treatment with panobinostat.
