Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of dose limiting toxicities at the different dose levels [ Time Frame: Baseline, end of Cycle 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Responders achieving at least a 35% reduction in splenic volume (compared to baseline) at Week 12, or end of study, whichever comes first as determined by MRI/CT [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of responders as measured by improvement in bone marrow fibrosis as graded according to the International Working Group consensus criteria for treatment response as compared to baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of Responders as measured by Summary statistics in absolute values at each visit and absolute and percentage change from baseline at each visit for change in JAK2V617F allele burden and cytokine measurement [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Proportion of patients who are transfusion dependent, as well as, the proportion of patients whose transfusion status (dependent or independent) changed (from dependent to independent or vice versa) at each cycle as compared to baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, End of Treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of Responders as measured by a change in spleen length of at least 50% reduction as determined by manual palpation from Baseline to Week 12 and maintained until Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Rate of adverse events, serious adverse events, notable laboratory, vital signs and ECG results by dose level [ Time Frame: baseline, up to end of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • AUC and Cmax of ruxolitinib and panobinostat at various dose levels [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, up to Cycle 1 Day 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
