Conditions: Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Keywords: Acute Myeloid Leukemia elderly Newly Diagnosed
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 126
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The study investigates if CPX-351 will be a) more effective than the standard AML treatment and b) more tolerable than the standard AML treatment regimens.

The study compares the investigational product CPX-351 vs the standard treatment for AML in this patients age group.

Detailed description:
This study is a randomized, open-label, parallel-arm, fixed-dose, standard therapy controlled Phase IIB trial. Study enrollment duration is expected to be approximately 12-18 months. On entry, patients are randomized to receive either CPX-351 or standard induction treatment with cytarabine and daunorubicin("7 and 3" regimen).

Patients are stratified to balance the likelihood of obtaining a CR and the duration of CR between the two arms.

Arms:
arm 1: First induction: CPX-351 at 100u/m2 administered on days 1, 3 and 5 Second induction: CPX-351 at 100u/m2 administered on days 1 and 3 Consolidation: CPX-351 at 100u/m2 administered on days 1 and 3 arm 2: First induction: Cytarabine at a dose of 100mg/m2/day on days 1-7, Daunorubicin at dose of 45 or 60mg/m2 on days 1-3 Second induction: Cytarabine at a dose of 100mg/m2/day on days 1-5, Daunorubicin at a dose of 45 or 60 mg/m2/day on days 1 and 2 Consolidation: Investigator's Choice

Interventions: intervention 1: CPX-351 intervention 2: Cytarabine intervention 3: Daunorubicin
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: None intervention 2: None intervention 3: None
