Participants With Hematologic Response Primary · From Start of the Study up to Study Termination (approximately up to 18 Months).

The primary efficacy variable was hematologic response, a composite endpoint defined as the overall of complete hematologic response (CHR), and of no evidence of leukemia (NEL) and of the return to chronic phase (RTC).

BCR-ABL Mutations of Participants at Study Entry and, in Responding Participants and at the Time of Disease Progression Secondary · From Start of the Study up to Study Termination (approximately up to 18 Months).

A fusion gene of the BCR and ABL genes (BCR-ABL) messenger ribose nucleic acid (mRNA) expression (molecular response) was performed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and mutational analysis was performed by direct sequencing technology, and both analyses were performed by Genzyme.

Time to Peak Concentration (Tmax) of Panobinostat Secondary · Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8

Tmax is defined as the time at which the Cmax occurs. It will be obtained from the Tmax parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable Cmax in the subject's Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, then Tmax will be missing for that subject. Tmax will be reported in units of h.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Panobinostat Secondary · Pre-dose, 0.25, 1-2, and 3-4 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 8

Cmax is defined as the maximum observed drug concentration observed in plasma over all PK sample concentrations. It will be obtained from the Cmax parameter calculated by WinNonlin®. If there is no measurable concentration in the subject's PK profile, then Cmax will be missing for that subject. Cmax will be reported in units of ng/mL.

QT Interval (QTc) in Participants Receiving Oral Panobinostat at Baseline and Change From Baseline to Extreme Value Secondary · From Start of the Study up to Study Termination (approximately up to 18 Months).

QTc monitoring was performed on specified days (Cycle1: Day1, 5 and 26), as well as a single pre-dose ECG once weekly during Cycle1: Week2 and Week3, Cycle2, and all subsequent cycles. Patient eligibility was ensured by a screening QTcF interval calculated by eResearchTechnology(eRT) prior to the baseline assessments. Treatment decisions were based on QTc determined by the automated reading at the investigational site (commonly used the Bazett's correction,QTcB) or measured and calculated by trained personnel at the site. Dosing relied on the investigator's assessment of the 6 baseline ECGs (t

Safety and Tolerability of Panobinostat Secondary · From Start of the Study up to Study Termination (approximately up to 18 Months).

Adverse Events (AE) are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgment of investigators represent significant hazar
