Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of (cytarabine: daunorubicin) liposome for injection and Vyxeos in elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subjects.
Description
This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, two-period, two-sequence, two-way crossover bioequivalence study of (cytarabine: daunorubicin) liposome for injection manufactured by CSPC Zhongnuo Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd compared with Vyxeos manufactured by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in elderly AML subjects. Patients who have achieved CR/CRi after induction treatment will be randomized to sequence A (T-R): (cytarabine: daunorubicin) liposome on C1D1 and C1D3/ Vyxeos on C2D1 and C2D3 or sequence B(R-T): Vyxeos on C1D1 and C1D3/ (cytarabine: daunorubicin) liposome on C2D1 and C2D3. Randomization will be in a 1:1 ratio. Forty to sixty subjects will be enrolled to ensure 36 evaluable subjects.
Serial blood samples for determination of liposomal encapsulated cytarabine and liposomal encapsulated daunorubicin plasma concentration for PK analysis will be obtained in each cycle.
