Brief summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of CPX-351 followed by donor stem cell transplantation versus immediate donor stem cell transplantation in treating patients with high-grade myeloid cancers with measurable residual disease. Chemotherapy drugs, such as CPX-351, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before donor stem cell transplantation may help kill cancer cells in the body and make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow.

Detailed description

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. Arm A: Patients undergo alloHCT. Arm B: Patients receive CPX-351 intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5. Treatment may repeat for an additional cycle for a total of 2 cycles (on days 1 and 3 only of cycle 2) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 60 days after completion of CPX-351, patients undergo alloHCT. After completion of study enrollment, patients will be followed for up to 2 years.

Rate of Transplantation

This outcome will be assessed among patients who have begun transplantation conditioning 60 days and 180 days following enrollment will be compared using the chi-squared test. The time to transplantation among the two arms will be compared by comparing the number of days elapsed between enrollment and the initiation of transplantation conditions by the log-rank test.

Time frame: Up to 2 years post-randomization

Population: Data was not collected for this outcome measure because the one participant did not start transplantation conditioning.
