Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of CPX-351 in combination with quizartinib to treat acute myeloid leukemia and high risk myelodysplastic syndrome. CPX-351 contains chemotherapy drugs daunorubicin and cytarabine, which work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells. Quizartinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The goal of this study is to learn if the combination of CPX-351 and quizartinib can help to control these diseases.
