About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of CPX (Cytarabine:Daunorubicin) Liposome Injection in Patients >/=60 Years of Age With AML Previously Untreated By Intensive Chemotherapy

This is an open label study to assess the suitability of CPX-351 as first intensive therapy in elderly (age ≥60 years) patients with AML. Patients may have received prior AML treatment with non-intensive regimens, e.g. hypomethylating agents, low dose Ara C or lenolidomide, but may not have received intensive AML treatment with anthracyclines and/or cytarabine prior to enrollment on this trial. The outcome of elderly patients following intensive treatment with CPX-351 will be measured by clinical endpoints for efficacy and safety and by biological/functional response.

Receives: Drug: CPX-351

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary Efficacy

    Overall survival is measured from the date of registration to death from any cause. Patients not known to have died will be censored on the date they were last known to be alive. Patients were followed for 2.5 years.

    Measured: 2.5 Years

  2. 30-Day Mortality Rate

    Mortality rate at Day 30

    Measured: 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Complete Response Rate (CR, CRp, CRi, and CR+CRp+CRi)

    The number of patients who achieve response will be divided by the number of patients in the efficacy population to determine response rate.

    Measured: 30 days post-treatment, up to 3 months post-baseline

  2. Change in Relationship of Cognitive Function to Treatment Response and OS, Event-free Survival and Morphologic Leukemia Free State as Measured by the MOCA

    The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) is a 30-point test which assesses several cognitive domains. Possible total scores range from 0 to 30. The results can be interpreted as follows: normal cognition: 26-30 points, mild cognitive impairment: 18-25 points, moderate cognitive impairment: 10-17 points, and severe cognitive impairment: under 10 points.

    Measured: Screening through 30 days post-treatment, up to 3 months post-baseline

  3. Change in Relationship of Cognitive Function to Treatment Response and OS, Event-free Survival and Morphologic Leukemia Free State as Measured by the Blessed Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test

    The Blessed Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test is designed to evaluate older patients for early dementia. Possible total scores range from 0 (all items answered correctly) to 28 (all items answered incorrectly).

    Measured: Screening through 30 days post-treatment, up to 3 months post-baseline

  4. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Adverse events included neutropenic fever, transient episodes of pericarditis, febrile neutropenia, streptococcus bacteremia, hypotensive episode, severe diffuse cerebral dysfunction, UTI (klebsiella pneumonia), anorexia with malnutrition, hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, purple macules, elevated ALT, hypoalbuminemia, hyperbilirubinemia, syncope, joint pain, transaminitis, bacteremia, typhlitis, VRE bacteremia, Osteomyelitis, Decreased LVEF, GI adenovirus, Acute kidney injury, pulmonary edema, neutropenia, bronchospasm, bone pain, urinary incontinence, c. difficile infection, mucositis, and vaginal pain.

    Measured: Through treatment completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CPX-351 in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Efficacy (time frame: 2.5 Years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Feb 2024.
