CPX-351 associated rash in pediatric patients with acute myeloid
leukemia: a case series
Abstract
CPX-351 (a liposomal formulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin) is a
chemotherapeutic agent for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A
phase 3 clinical trial of CPX-351 in pediatric AML (NCT04293562) is
currently ongoing. Adult studies report that rash with CPX-351 is a
frequent adverse event. However, the features of cutaneous side effects
associated with CPX-351 in the pediatric population have not been
well-described in the literature. Here we describe the characteristics
and management of CPX-351 associated rash in the pediatric population.
This is a retrospective case series of 45 patients who received CPX-351
at Texas Children’s Hospital from 2018-2022.
