| Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Primary Objective
- Determine the composite complete remission (CR) and complete remission with incomplete peripheral blood recovery (CRi) rates, safety and tolerability in patients under 22 years of age with SMN treated with one or two courses of CPX-351 before HSCT.
Secondary Objectives
-
Describe the toxicity profile of patients with SMN treated with one or two courses of CPX-351.
-
Describe the biologic correlates of response in patients with SMN after one or two courses of CPX-351.
-
Estimate the 3-year overall survival of patients who received one or two courses of CPX-351 followed by HSCT.
Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and consent will receive up to 2 cycles of CPX-351 for remission induction, and then will proceed to allogeneic HSCT or other therapies as per institutional practice.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: CPX-351 Participants will receive up to 2 cycles of CPX-351 for remission induction. Intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy will be given on Day 1 of each cycle, for all participants, but may be delayed if clinically indicated. IT cytarabine, IT methotrexate, and IT methotrexate/hydrocortisone/cytarabine (MHA) according to age are all acceptable. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Composite complete remission (CR) rates after one or two courses of CPX-351 [After one or 2 course of CPX-351, no later than day 42 from the start of each course of chemotherapy]
The Simon's two-stage minimax design with be used. Complete morphologic remission response (CR) is defined as less than 5% blasts without Auer rods by morphological evaluation of the bone marrow (M1 marrow).
- Complete remission with incomplete peripheral blood recovery (CRi) rates after one or two courses of CPX-351 [After one or 2 course of CPX-351, no later than day 42 from the start of each course of chemotherapy]
The Simon's two-stage minimax design with be used. Complete remission with incomplete peripheral blood recovery (CRi) is defined as hematologic recovery hematological (white cell blood count ≥ 1.0 x 109/L, unsupported platelet count ≥ 30.0 x 109/L and absolute neutrophil count ≥ 0.3 x 109/L).
- Safety and tolerability in patients under 22 years of age with SMN treated with one or two courses of CPX-351 before HSCT [After one or 2 course of CPX-351, prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), three to four weeks from the hematologic recovery]
The exact three-stage binomial design will be used to monitor tolerability. We define a tolerability success as a patient completing two courses of therapy without experiencing a grade 4 or 5 non-hematologic toxicity.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Toxicity profile of patients with SMN treated with one or two courses of CPX-351 [30 days after completion of one or two courses of chemotherapy]
We will define categories for toxicity events and for each category we will determine the highest grade experienced by each patient. We will then report the number of patients with each grade in each category.
- Biologic correlates of response in patients with SMN after one or two courses of CPX-351 [Day 22 for the first cycle and day 36-42 after the second cycle]
We will use logistic regression modeling explore biologic correlates as predictors of response. For genomic associations, we will use false discovery rate methods to address multiple testing.
- Overall (OS) survival of patients who received one or two courses of CPX-351 followed by HSCT [3 years from study entry]
We will use the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate overall survival. We define OS as the time elapsed from protocol enrollment to death and censor times of living patients at last follow-up.
- Event-free survival (EFS) of patients who received one or two courses of CPX-351 followed by HSCT [3 years from study entry]
We will use the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate event-free survival. We define EFS as the time elapsed from protocol enrollment to death, relapse, discontinuation of therapy due to excessive toxicity or resistant disease, or development of an additional malignancy and censor times for patients free of these events at last follow-up.
- The impact of transplant on patients who received one or two courses of CPX-351 followed by HSCT [3 years from study entry]
To explore the impact of transplant, we will fit Cox models with transplant as a time-dependent covariate.

Patient must have one of the following diagnoses:
-
Treatment-related MDS/AML: Patients with solid organ or hematopoietic neoplasms previously treated with alkylating agents, ionizing radiation, topoisomerase inhibitors, antimetabolites, thiopurines, mycophenolate mofetil, fludarabine, and anti-tubulin agents (vincristine, vinblastine, vindesine, paclitaxel, and docetaxel usually in combination), who develop MDS, or AML are candidates for the CPXSMN protocol. If the bone marrow has between 5% and 20% blasts (higher-risk MDS), patients are discussed with the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) team for consideration to receive chemotherapy before HSCT. If the consensus is that cytoreduction before HSCT is necessary, and the cumulative dose of doxorubicin equivalent is < 400 mg/m2, patients are eligible for the CPXSMN protocol. OR
-
Secondary MDS/AML: Patients with primary MDS in transformation to AML (refractory cytopenia with an excess of blasts), acquired aplastic anemia evolving to AML, myeloid neoplasms arising from inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (including severe congenital neutropenia, Schwachman-Diamond syndrome, MECOM syndrome) or MDS/AML predisposition syndromes (including germline predisposition in GATA2, RUNX1, SAMD9/SAMD9L, ERCC6L2, NF1, ETV6, ANKRD26, ERCC6L2, TP53 or CEBPA genes). If the bone marrow has between 5% and 20% blasts (higher-risk MDS), patients are discussed with the HSCT team for consideration to receive chemotherapy before HSCT. If the consensus is that cytoreduction before HSCT is necessary, the patients are eligible for the CPXSMN protocol.
