Popis: Liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351) improves overall survival (OS) compared to 7+3 chemotherapy in older patients with secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML); to date there have been no randomized studies in younger patients. The high-risk cohort of the UK NCRI AML19 trial (ISRCTN78449203) compared CPX-351 with FLAG-Ida in younger adults with newly-diagnosed adverse cytogenetic AML or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). 189 patients were randomized (median age 56y). By clinical criteria 49% had de novo AML, 20% secondary AML and 30% high risk MDS. MDS-related cytogenetics were present in 73% of patients, with complex karyotype in 49%. TP53 was the most commonly mutated gene, in 43%. Myelodysplasia-related gene mutations were present in 75 patients (44%). The overall response rate (CR + CRi) after course two was 64% and 76% for CPX-351 and FLAG-Ida (OR:0.54, 95%CI 0.28-1.04, p=0.06). There was no difference in OS (13.3 months vs 11.4 months, HR:0.78, 95%CI 0.55-1.12, p=0.17) or event-free survival (HR:0.90, 95%CI 0.64-1.27, p=0.55) in multivariable analyses. However, relapse-free survival was significantly longer with CPX-351 (median 22.1 vs 8.35 months, HR:0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.95, p=0.03). There was no difference between the treatment arms in patients with clinically defined secondary AML (HR:1.1, 95%CI 0.52-2.30) or those with MDS-related cytogenetic abnormalities (HR:0.94, 95%CI 0.63-1.40), however an exploratory sub-group of patients with MDS-related gene mutations had significantly longer OS with CPX-351 (median 38.4 vs 16.3 months, HR:0.42, 95%CI 0.21-0.84, heterogeneity p=0.05). In conclusion, OS in younger patients with adverse risk AML/MDS was not significantly different between CPX-351 and FLAG-Ida.
