Vyxeos for Induction of Low- or Intermediate-risk.

Vyxeos for Induction of Newly Diagnosed Low- or Intermediate-risk AML Patients, Age 18-70. A Pilot Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Vyxeos Vyxeos is a liposomal-encapsulated combination of cytarabine and daunorubicin, at a molar ratio of 5:1. Delivery of the 5:1 molar ratio seems to prevent antagonistic drug-drug interactions and the liposomal encapsulation increases the plasma half-life of cytarabine and daunorubicin and leads to drug accumulation within the bone marrow (BM). Despite previous results that highlighted the advantage of Vyxeos for sAML, it is intuitively likely that this powerful drug is also suitable for non-sAML. The mechanism of action is relevant for every AML. Following the FDA approval of the drug for sAML we would like to evaluate its efficacy for low or intermediate risk fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-negative de novo AML patients. This consideration is particularly relevant by the inclusion of young AML patients in the study. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) - an anti-cluster of differentiation 33 (CD33) monoclonal antibody linked to calicheamicin, was approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients, when given as a combination with the '7+3' regimen. One of the goals of the current study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of the combination of Mylotarg plus Vyxeos. Minimal/ measurable residual disease (MRD) Minimal or measurable residual disease (MRD) denotes the presence of leukemia cells down to levels of 1:10-4 to 1:10-6, compared with 1:20 in morphology-based assessments. MRD can be evaluated using a variety of multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) and molecular methods. There are no data regarding the achievement or impact of MRD using Vyxeos as induction therapy. The current trial will address this issue. Purpose of this Trial The current study is designed to examine the response rate of the Vyxeos as induction therapy for newly diagnosed low/intermediate risk AML patients in the 'real world' setting. Patients will receive the same induction therapy that they were to receive had they not entered this study (cytarabine /daunorubicin ± Mylotarg) but the combination of cytarabine /daunorubicin will be given in the unique formulation of Vyxeos. In addition to classic CR+CRi evaluation, MFC MRD evaluation, using an centralized, internationally recognized laboratory, will be done at the end of induction. In addition, this pilot study will also provide clinical safety information about the combination of Vyxeos with Mylotarg.
