An exploratory, post-hoc subgroup analysis of the UK NCRI AML19 trial (ISRCTN78449203) compared the efficacy and safety of CPX-351 (n = 30) with FLAG-Ida (n = 29) in patients with ND HR-AML/MDS and MDS-related gene mutations. Results were presented during the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition by Mehta P.1


Key learnings
CPX-351 resulted in longer mOS (38.4 vs 16.3 months; p = 0.008), mRFS (33.1 vs 18.3 months; p = 0.024), and mEFS (34.0 vs 5.9 months; p = 0.062) vs FLAG-Ida.
The ORR (CR+ CRi) was 50% vs 62% with CPX-351 vs FLAG-Ida after induction C1 and 69% vs 79% after C2. Among patients in first response, CPX-351 led to longer post-HSCT mOS (NR vs 18.1 months; p = 0.042) than FLAG-Ida.
CPX-351 was associated with lower Grade ≥3 AEs (70% vs 90%), SAEs (10% vs 76%), and AEs leading to death (7% vs 14%) vs FLAG-Ida.
This post-hoc analysis showed that CPX-351 improved mOS, mRFS, and post-HSCT OS. However, the study is limited by its small sample size, exploratory nature, and unadjusted p-values for multiplicity, warranting further validation in larger studies.
