AML Clinical Trial in Birmingham, AL

About This AML Study in Birmingham

This phase III trial compares standard chemotherapy to therapy with liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine (CPX-351) and/or gilteritinib for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with or without FLT3 mutations. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, 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. CPX-351 is made up of

Philadelphia chromosome positive AML

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia

Acute promyelocytic leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia arising from myelodysplasia

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms

Patients with persistent cardiac dysfunction prior to enrollment, defined as ejection fraction (EF) \< 50% (preferred method Biplane Simpson's EF) or if EF unavailable, shortening fraction (SF) \< 24%. \*Note: if clinically safe and feasible, repeat echocardiogram is strongly advised in order to confirm cardiac dysfunction following clinical stabilization, particularly if occurring in the setting of sepsis or other transient physiologic stressor.
