Overview

CPX-351 (Vyxeos) is a liposomal encapsulation of the antineoplastic agents cytarabine and daunorubicin in a fixed 5:1 molar ratio. This formulation is designed to deliver a synergistic ratio of the two drugs directly to the bone marrow, enhancing efficacy while potentially reducing systemic toxicity compared to conventional chemotherapy. Cytarabine is a pyrimidine analog that inhibits DNA polymerase, while daunorubicin is an anthracycline that intercalates DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II. CPX-351 is FDA-approved for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients (1 year and older) with newly-diagnosed therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC). It was originally developed by Celator Pharmaceuticals and is currently marketed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
