Investigator Initiated Trial of CPX-351 for Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

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.
