Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall survival (OS) in the restricted set of de novo patients
2 years
Overall Survival
From the date of randomization to death from any cause

Overall survival was measured from the date of randomization to death from any cause, subjects not known to have died by the last follow-up were censored on the date they were last known to be alive.

Improvement in the proportion of patients achieving deep remission (CR)/(CRi) with a standardized flow based MRD in the BM aspirate using the LAIP/Dfn method after the 1st induction
28-56 days
Percentage of Participants With Event-Free Survival at 6 Months
6 months

This is defined as the percentage of subjects with event-free survival (EFS) at 6 months. EFS is defined as the number of months where patients are in a remission state.

Complete response rate (morphological complete remission [CR] and incomplete blood count recovery [CRi])
At day 45

Defined by the International Working Group Criteria. Will be summarized using frequencies and relative frequencies.

Overall survival (all randomisations)
12 and 24 months

Defined as time from entering the relevant randomisation to the relevant question until death from any cause. Patients who are alive at the end of the trial or have been lost to follow up will be censored at their date last seen. For randomisations 2 and 3 this outcome will also be calculated as time from transplantation in order to run a sensitivity analysis.

Effect of CPX-351 on Cardiac Ventricular Repolarization (QTcF)
21 days

Time-matched QTcF Changes From Baseline after the start of first infusion

Proportion of Subjects Surviving at 1 Year
Up to 1 year from randomization

The proportion of subjects surviving at 1 year was evaluated separately for each arm by the number of subjects alive at 1 year divided by the total number of subjects.

Number of Participants With Complete Remission
Within 6 weeks of the last induction treatment

Response was defined according to International Working Group Criteria (Cheson, et al. 2003) which requires peripheral blood neutrophils of \>1000/µL and peripheral blood platelets of \>100,000/µL in the absence of bone marrow blasts.

Maximum tolerate dose (Phase 1)
1 cycle (28 day cycle)

Number of subjects with Dose Limiting toxicities will be used to determine the recommended phase II dose of CPX-351 to be used in the maintenance setting for newly diagnosed AML in complete remission.

Inicidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse events (Phase 2)
6 cycles (28 day cycles)

To determine the safety, tolerability and toxicity of CPX-351 in the maintenance setting for newly diagnosed AML in complete remission by analyzing the incidence of treatment emergent adverse events reported.

Frequently asked questions about Vyxeos

What is Vyxeos used for?

Vyxeos is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia, including acute myeloid leukemia arising from previous myelodysplastic syndrome, and is being studied in relapsed pediatric AML. It is a liposomal formulation of daunorubicin and cytarabine developed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (ticker: JAZZ).

What does Vyxeos target?

Vyxeos targets DNA and topoisomerase II. The liposomal formulation delivers daunorubicin and cytarabine, which interfere with DNA replication and topoisomerase II activity, leading to leukemia cell death.

Who makes Vyxeos?

Vyxeos is made by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc, which trades under the ticker JAZZ. Jazz Pharmaceuticals is the developer of the liposomal-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine product.

What phase is Vyxeos in?

Vyxeos is in Phase 2 clinical development for acute myeloid leukemia and related conditions. It is investigational and is being evaluated in active clinical trials.

What clinical trials is Vyxeos in?

Vyxeos is being studied in several clinical trials, including NCT07156435 (Phase 1 in relapsed pediatric AML), NCT05260528 (Phase 2 in de novo AML), NCT04269213 (Phase 2 in secondary AML), and NCT04217278 (Phase 2 in AML and MDS undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant).

Is Vyxeos the same as liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine?

Yes, Vyxeos is also known as liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine, Vyxeos 44 MG / 100 MG Liposome Injection, Vyxeos/ Liposome, and CPX-315. These names refer to the same product developed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
