Gene Therapy Clinical Trials
Liposomal Cytarabine-Daunorubicin CPX-351 in Treating Patients With Untreated Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia
This randomized clinical trial studies liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 in treating patients with untreated myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
Intervention(s):
- other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
- drug: Liposomal Cytarabine-Daunorubicin CPX-351
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of untreated "high-risk" MDS (>= 10% blasts) or AML other than acute
promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 2008
World Health Organization (WHO) classification; patients with biphenotypic AML are
eligible; outside diagnostic material is acceptable as long as peripheral blood and/or
bone marrow slides are reviewed at the study institution and cytogenetic/molecular
information is available
- Prior hydroxyurea for AML is permitted but should be discontinued prior to start
of CPX-351 treatment
- Azacitidine, decitabine, lenalidomide, and growth factors are permitted for
low-risk MDS (< 10% blasts); all treatments for MDS should be discontinued prior
to start of CPX-351 treatment
- Treatment-related mortality (TRM) score >= 13.1 as calculated with simplified model
- Bilirubin < 2.0 mg/mL x upper limit of normal; this requirement reflects the excretion
of CPX-351 by the liver
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 4.0 x upper limit of
normal; this requirement reflects the excretion of CPX-351 by the liver
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 40%, assessed within 28 days prior to
registration, e.g. by multi gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiography, or
other appropriate diagnostic modality
- Patients with symptoms/signs of hyperleukocytosis or white blood cell (WBC) >
100,000/uL can be treated with leukapheresis prior to enrollment
- Provide signed written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Refractory/relapsing blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
- Concomitant illness associated with a likely survival of < 1 year
- Active systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection, unless under treatment
with anti-microbials and controlled/stable, as defined as being afebrile and
hemodynamically stable for 24-48 hours
