Oral presentations selected to be presented at ASH include:

  • Long-term outcomes and five-year results from the Phase 3 study of Vyxeos® (daunorubicin and cytarabine), also known as CPX-351, in older adults with newly diagnosed, high-risk/secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Analysis from a multinational, observational registry study evaluating treatment duration, VOD/SOS resolution and survival in patients with veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome treated with Defitelio® (defibrotide sodium) following hematopoietic cell transplantation
  • Results from a Phase 2 study in collaboration with MD Anderson investigating the safety and efficacy of Vyxeos in combination with venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory AML

About Vyxeos® (daunorubicin and cytarabine)
In the U.S., Vyxeos® (daunorubicin and cytarabine) is a liposomal formulation of a fixed combination of daunorubicin and cytarabine for intravenous infusion that represents the first, only and most proven chemotherapy treatment option specifically for two types of high-risk, secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML): newly diagnosed therapy-related AML (t-AML) and AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC). In Europe, Vyxeos® Liposomal (daunorubicin/cytarabine) is indicated for the treatment of adults with newly diagnosed, therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC). Backed by a robust clinical development program including Phase 3 data, Vyxeos is currently approved in more than 30 countries, and Jazz continues to work with regulatory authorities worldwide to bring this innovative therapy to appropriate patients.

Important Safety Information for Vyxeos Liposomal
Vyxeos Liposomal has different dosage recommendations from other medications that contain daunorubicin and/or cytarabine. Do not substitute Vyxeos Liposomal for other daunorubicin- and/or cytarabine- containing products.

Vyxeos Liposomal should not be given to patients who have a history of serious allergic reaction to daunorubicin, cytarabine or any of its ingredients.

Vyxeos Liposomal can cause a severe decrease in blood cells (red and white blood cells and cells that prevent bleeding, called platelets) which can result in serious infection or bleeding and possibly lead to death. Your doctor will monitor your blood counts during treatment with Vyxeos Liposomal. Patients should tell the doctor about new onset fever or symptoms of infection or if they notice signs of bruising or bleeding.

Vyxeos Liposomal can cause heart-related side effects. Tell your doctor about any history of heart disease, radiation to the chest, or previous chemotherapy. Inform your doctor if you develop symptoms of heart failure such as:
