CPX-351 induces remission in newly diagnosed pediatric secondary myeloid malignancies.

ABSTRACT: Secondary myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia (sMDS/AML) are rare in children and adolescents and have a dismal prognosis. The mainstay therapy is hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but there has been no innovation in cytoreductive regimens. CP X-351, a fixed 5:1 molar ratio of liposomal cytarabine to daunorubicin, has shown favorable safety and efficacy in elderly individuals with secondary AML and children with relapsed de novo AML. We report the outcomes of 7 young patients (6 with newly diagnosed sMDS/AML and 1 with primary MDS/AML) uniformly treated with CP X-351. Five patients had previously received chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, neuroblastoma, or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; 1 had predisposing genomic instability disorder (Cornelia de Lange syndrome) and 1 had MDS-related AML and multiorgan failure. The median age at diagnosis of myeloid malignancy was 17 years (range, 13-23 years). Patients received 1 to 3 cycles of CP X-351 (cytarabine 100 mg/m2 plus daunorubicin 44 mg/m2) on days 1, 3, and 5, resulting in complete morphologic remission without overt toxicity or treatment-related mortality. This approach allowed for adding an FLT3 inhibitor as individualized therapy in 1 patient. Six patients were alive and leukemia-free at 0.5 to 3.3 years after HCT. One patient died as a result of disease progression before HCT. To summarize, CP X-351 is an effective and well-tolerated regimen for cytoreduction in pediatric sMDS/AML that warrants prospective studies.

Project description:BackgroundCPX-351 (United States: Vyxeos®; Europe: Vyxeos® Liposomal), a dual-drug liposomal encapsulation of daunorubicin and cytarabine in a synergistic 1:5 molar ratio, is approved by the US FDA and the EMA for the treatment of adults with newly diagnosed therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes. In a pivotal phase 3 study that evaluated 309 patients aged 60 to 75 years with newly diagnosed high-risk/secondary acute myeloid leukemia, CPX-351 significantly improved median overall survival versus conventional 7 + 3 chemotherapy (cytarabine continuous infusion for 7 days plus daunorubicin for 3 days), with a comparable safety profile. A Quality-adjusted Time Without Symptoms of disease or Toxicity (Q-TWiST) analysis of the phase 3 study was performed to compare survival quality between patients receiving CPX-351 versus conventional 7 + 3 after 5 years of follow-up.MethodsPatients were randomized 1:1 between December 20, 2012 and November 11, 2014 to receive induction with CPX-351 or 7 + 3. Survival time for each patient was partitioned into 3 health states: TOX (time with any grade 3 or 4 toxicity or prior to remission), TWiST (time in remission without relapse or grade 3 or 4 toxicity), and REL (time after relapse). Within each treatment arm, Q-TWiST was calculated by adding the mean time spent in each health state weighted by its respective quality-of-life, represented by health utility. The relative Q-TWiST gain, calculated as the difference in Q-TWiST between treatment arms divided by the mean survival of the 7 + 3 control arm, was determined in order to evaluate results in the context of other Q-TWiST analyses.ResultsThe relative Q-TWiST gain with CPX-351 versus 7 + 3 was 53.6% in the base case scenario and 39.8% among responding patients. Across various sensitivity analyses, the relative Q-TWiST gains for CPX-351 ranged from 48.0 to 57.6%, remaining well above the standard clinically important difference threshold of 15% for oncology.ConclusionsThis post hoc analysis demonstrates that CPX-351 improved quality-adjusted survival, further supporting the clinical benefit in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk/secondary acute myeloid leukemia. Trial registration This trial was registered on September 28, 2012 at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01696084 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01696084 ) and is complete.
