CPXSMN: CPX-351 in Pediatric Patients with Secondary Myeloid Neoplasms

About this study

Some patients treated for cancer or blood diseases may get cancer again. This second cancer may come from the disease or its treatment.

We want to study the effects of a new drug, CPX-351, to treat 2 kinds of secondary cancers:

  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

We aim to:

  • Study how well CPX-351 treats MDS and AML
  • Learn more about the side effects of CPX-351
  • Learn more about how the body reacts to CPX-351
  • Learn more about the biology and genetics of patients with MDS and AML

In this study patients will be treated with:

  • 2 rounds of CPX-351

A stem cell transplant or other therapies may follow this treatment. We will study DNA changes in your bone marrow and blood.

Eligibility overview

To take part in this study, patients must:

  • Be 1–22 years old

    • MDS or AML as a second cancer
    • MDS or AML that was caused by earlier treatments
  • Pass tests for kidney, liver, heart, brain, and spinal cord function
  • Have recovered from earlier treatments

Patients are not eligible for this study if they are:

  • Taking another new drug as part of a research study
