Additional remarks CHMP Maart 2022:"Concluding a review of an application to extend the use of Vyxeos liposomal* (daunorubicin / cytarabine), the CHMP did not recommend including the treatment of young patients (aged 1 to 21 years) with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) to the authorised indications. The Committee agreed that relevant data from the study submitted with the application should be included in the medicine’s product information so that healthcare professionals have access to up-to-date data on the effects of Vyxeos liposomal in patients with relapsing or refractory AML."

Therapeutic value

Current treatment options EMA: Treatment for AML is complex and depends on a number of factors including the extent of the disease, whether it has been treated before, and the patient’s age, symptoms and general state of health. At the time of designation, the main treatments for AML were chemotherapy (medicines to treat cancer) and haematopoietic (blood) stem-cell transplantation (a complex procedure where the patient receives stem cells from a matched donor to help restore the bone marrow).
Therapeutic value Possible added value
Substantiation EMA geeft aan dat er mogelijke meerwaarde is. De meerwaarde is gebaseerd op het artikel van Cooper alhoewel de resultaten nog beperkt zijn qua follow up. Het is ook duidelijk dat een liposomaal product is minder cardiotoxisch is en dat is van belang nu daunoxome niet meer te krijgen is.
Duration of treatment Average 11 day / days
Frequency of administration 1 times every 2 days
Dosage per administration 100 /44 mg/m2
