Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This randomized clinical trial studies liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 in treating patients with untreated myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351, 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.

- Arm I (lower-dose liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351)
- description
- INDUCTION/RE-INDUCTION: Patients receive lower-dose liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5. Treatment repeats every 40 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving CR or CRp continue on to consolidation. CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive lower-dose liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 3. Treatment repeats every 40 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of untreated "high-risk" MDS (\>= 10% blasts) or AML other than acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification; patients with biphenotypic AML are eligible; outside diagnostic material is acceptable as long as peripheral blood and/or bone marrow slides are reviewed at the study institution and cytogenetic/molecular information is available * Prior hydroxyurea for AML is permitted but should be discontinued prior to start of CPX-351 treatment * Azacitidine, decitabine, lenalidomide, and growth factors are permitted for low-risk MDS (\< 10% blasts); all treatments for MDS should be discontinued prior to start of CPX-351 treatment * Treatment-related mortality (TRM) score \>= 13.1 as calculated with simplified model * Bilirubin \< 2.0 mg/mL x upper limit of normal; this requirement reflects the excretion of CPX-351 by the liver * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 4.0 x upper limit of normal; this requirement reflects the excretion of CPX-351 by the liver * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>= 40%, assessed within 28 days prior to registration, e.g. by multi gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiography, or other appropriate diagnostic modality * Patients with symptoms/signs of hyperleukocytosis or white blood cell (WBC) \> 100,000/uL can be treated with leukapheresis prior to enrollment * Provide signed written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Refractory/relapsing blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) * Concomitant illness associated with a likely survival of \< 1 year * Active systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection, unless under treatment with anti-microbials and controlled/stable, as defined as being afebrile and hemodynamically stable for 24-48 hours
