Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Be older than 18 years old
Must not have
Active signs or symptoms of central nervous system (CNS) involvement by malignancy (lumbar puncture [LP] not required). Prior 7+3 remission induction chemotherapy for MDS or AML More than 2 lines of prior non-intensive therapy. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart disease, active ischemia or any other uncontrolled cardiac condition such as angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia on rhythm control strategy or on pacemaker, uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure > 160 systolic and > 110 diastolic not responsive to antihypertensive medication) Acute myocardial infarction in the previous 12 weeks (from the start of treatment). Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that, in the view of the treating physician, would place the participant at an unacceptable risk if he or she were to participate in the study or would prevent that person from giving informed consent. Any active malignancy (unrelated, non-hematological malignancy) diagnosed within the past 6 months of starting the study drug (other than curatively treated carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix or non-melanoma skin cancer). History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to CPX-351. Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Known history of HIV or active hepatitis B or C. No major surgery within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment. Pregnant or breast feeding Male and female participants who are fertile who do not agree to use an effective barrier methods of birth control (i.e. abstinence) to avoid pregnancy while receiving study treatment and for 30 days after last dose of study treatment. Non-childbearing is defined as > 1 year postmenopausal or surgically sterilized. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)

Summary

This trial is studying lower doses of CPX-351 to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed/refractory AML or MDS who have failed treatment with HMA.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can't have intensive chemotherapy, or those with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) unresponsive to prior treatments. Participants should be in fairly good health otherwise, able to perform daily activities with minimal help (ECOG <=2), and have normal liver and kidney function.
What is being tested?
The study tests lower doses of CPX-351 on participants to see how effective it is against AML and MDS when standard therapies fail. It's aimed at those who are older or cannot tolerate more aggressive treatment options.
What are the potential side effects?
CPX-351 may cause side effects such as fatigue, fever, bleeding or bruising easily due to low blood cell counts, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, and increased risk of infections. The severity can vary from person to person.
