Vyxeos for Re-induction Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients With Persistent Disease After Induction

Is NCT04049539 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Sep 2026). This Phase 1/2 trial studies Liposome-encapsulated Daunorubicin-Cytarabine for blasts more than 5 percent of bone marrow nucleated cells.

Phase 1/2RecruitingOhio State University Comprehensive Cancer CenterNCT04049539Data as of Sep 2026

Treatment: Liposome-encapsulated Daunorubicin-CytarabineThis phase II trial studies the side effects and how well Vyxeos works in treating patients with intermediate and high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who have failed an initial cycle of standard cytarabine and daunorubicin chemotherapy. Vyxeos is a combination of both chemotherapy drugs cytarabine and daunorubicin contained in a liposome. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cytarabine and daunorubicin given together in liposomes may have fewer side effects and work better than cytarabine and daunorubicin given alone in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Prior therapy

Must have received: cytarabine and anthracycline-based induction chemotherapy (cytarabine, daunorubicin, idarubicin) — induction for AML

Patients must have received standard induction chemotherapy (cytarabine 100-200mg/m2 by continuous infusion on days 1-7 and either daunorubicin 45-90mg/m2 or idarubicin 10-12mg/m2 daily for 3 days during days 1-7) within the 14-33 days prior to starting trial treatment and have documented persistent disease (13-29 days from the start of 7+3 treatment).

Cannot have received: anthracycline (daunorubicin)

Exception: lifetime daunorubicin dose of more than 462 mg/m^2 (including recent course of 7+3) or equivalent total doses of other anthracycline medications

Total lifetime daunorubicin dose of more than 462 mg/m^2 (including recent course of 7+3) or equivalent total doses of other anthracycline medications.
