Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (CPX-351)
INDUCTION: Patients receive liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. RE-INDUCTION: Patients who do not achieve remission receive liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 3 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION: Beginning 5-8 weeks after the start of the last induction, patients who achieve CR receive liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 3. Treatment repeats every 45 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
