Awards & highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug for safety and effectiveness in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-70 with higher risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) who are eligible for a transplant. They must have good kidney, liver, and heart function, an ECOG performance status ≤2, and no history of Wilson's disease or certain viral infections. Women must not be pregnant and participants should agree to use contraception.

What is being tested?

The study tests two doses of CPX-351 (Vyxeos™) in MDS patients to see which is safer and more tolerable. It also looks at how many achieve complete remission and can proceed to a bone marrow transplant after treatment.

What are the potential side effects?

While the specific side effects aren't listed here, CPX-351 may include typical chemotherapy-related side effects such as fatigue, nausea, increased infection risk due to low blood cell counts, bleeding or bruising easily from low platelets.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: CPX-351Experimental Treatment4 Interventions

* CPX-351 will be given according to the assigned dose level over a minimum of a 90-minutes via IV infusion on Days 1, 3, and 5 of the first induction * If the treating physician elects to perform a day 14 bone marrow biopsy then, a second induction may be considered for patients in the absence of a chemoablated, hypocellular marrow on the Day 14 bone marrow assessment, if the patient has failed to achieve a marrow CR, and it is deemed safe to administer by the treating physician. The second induction uses a modified schedule in which CPX-351 will be given according to the assigned dose level on Days 1 and 3 * In the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, the patient may continue to consolidation at the discretion of the treating physician or the patient may proceed to alloHCT after induction at the discretion of the treating physician
