Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Treatment with intensive chemotherapy in AML results in approximately 70% survival in newly diagnosed patients. Prognosis at relapse is worse and is in the 30-40% range. Relapse treatment generally consists of one course of fludarabine, cytarabine and liposomal daunorubicin (FLAG-DNX), followed by a fludarabine and cytarabine course, and subsequent stem-cell transplantation. Cytarabine has been used in combination with fludarabine and cladribine, with the aim to induce synergism by increasing Ara-CTP (active cytotoxic metabolite from ara-C) accumulation, which can be seen as a surrogate marker for cytarabine induced cell-kill. Synergy with cytarabine can also be achieved with clofarabine, which is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, leading to a depletion of normal deoxynucleotides and subsequently to increased Ara-CTP levels. The phase IB trial ITCC020/I-BFM 2009-02 recently reported that clofarabine, replacing fludarabine in the standardly used fludarabine, cytarabine and liposomal daunorubicin (FLAG-DNX) combination regimen, showed high response rates (Overall Response Rate - ORR 68% and 80% at the recommended phase 2 dose - RP2D) in patients with refractory/relapsed AML, and was generally tolerable, with infectious complications as the main side-effect due to the immunosuppressive properties of clofarabine.

Currently DNX is unavailable, which urges the need to develop other treatment blocks. The liposomal formulation of Vyxeos®/CPX-351 may be a suitable replacement for DNX, considering the long-term side effect of cardiotoxicity due to anthracyclines which is of primary importance in younger heavily pre-treated patients. The hypothesis is that due to the liposomal formulation there is less penetrance in the cardiac muscle and hence less cardiac damage. The results in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory AML in a COG study using Vyxeos®/CPX-351 at a RP2D of 135 U/m2 (AAML1421) showed encouraging ORR, with 70% of patients reaching CR/CRi as best response after single agent-treatment with Vyxeos®/CPX-351. Preclinical data have also demonstrated an increased Ara-CTP accumulation and cytotoxicity in cell lines, and were confirmed by tests in ex-vivo blasts from a cohort of AML patients (n=5), when cells were exposed to Vyxeos®/CPX-351 after 4 hours of incubation with fludarabine.

In this study Vyxeos®/CPX-351 was evaluated in combination with clofarabine with the aim to establish the RP2D of this combination.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment with Vyxeos®/CPX-351 in combination with clofarabine

Treatment will consist of 2 courses. An adapted regimen is used to combine Vyxeos®/CPX-351 at a fixed dose given at day 1, 3, 5 with clofarabine at the allocated dose level given at day 2-6 in course one, and only Vyxeos®/CPX-351 in course 2.

A maximum of 3 dose levels of clofarabine are expected to be tested in this study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vyxeos 44 MG / 100 MG Liposome Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Vyxeos®/CPX-351 will be infused in 90 minutes on day 1, 3 and 5 only, 3 hours after the end of clofarabine (if administered on the same day).

Clofarabine

Intervention Type DRUG

Clofarabine infusion will be given according to the assigned dose level, over 2 hours IV, daily on day 2-6 (for 5 consecutive days).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Initial work-up:

• Complete initial work-up within 7 days prior to study entry, including bone-marrow aspiration, lumbar puncture (without intrathecal therapy)

General condition:

* Lansky play score ≥ 60 for patients \<16 years of age; or Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60 for patients ≥ 16 years of age (see Appendix I for Performance scales).
* Life expectancy \> 6 weeks
* The patient must have a calculated GFR ≥ 70mL/min/1.73 m2.
* Liver function: total serum bilirubin ≤ 3 mg/dl or 50 μmol/L and aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤200 U/L
* Adequate cardiac function (defined as shortening fraction ≥28% or ejection fraction ≥50%)
* No evidence of a currently uncontrolled bacterial, viral or parasitic infection
* No evidence of a fungal infection, defined as either:

* Pulmonary infiltrates suggestive of a fungal infection at HR-CT (within 3 weeks prior to enrollment)
* Positive Aspergillus serum test (galactomannan), according to local laboratory practice (within 3 weeks prior to enrollment)

* No Down Syndrome
* No evidence of relapsed/refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
* No use of any anticancer therapy within 2 weeks before study entry. The patient must have recovered from all acute toxicities from any previous therapy (note: hematological toxicities do not need to be considered since the patient has overt leukemia)
* No history of prior veno-occlusive disease (VOD)
* No known hypersensitivity to cytarabine, clofarabine or liposomal daunorubicin
