Jazz Pharmaceuticals to Highlight Hematology Research at ASH 2017 Annual Meeting
"The breadth of data presented at ASH reflects our commitment to addressing the clinical needs of patients with blood cancers and with complications of stem cell transplantation by advancing the science behind Vyxeos, Defitelio and Erwinaze," said
Highlights at the
- Post-hoc efficacy and safety analyses, including a poster focused on the rate of adverse events, from the Phase 3 trial of Vyxeos™ (daunorubicin and cytarabine) liposome for injection, also known as CPX-351
- An oral presentation from an investigator-initiated Phase 2 trial of Vyxeos that analyzed remission rates in a group of newly diagnosed elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients at high risk of mortality
- A post-hoc analysis of the efficacy and safety of Vyxeos in patients with Refractory Anemia with Excess of Blasts in Transformation (RAEB-t) from the Phase 3 trial
- Post-hoc analyses from clinical trials and an expanded access program for Defitelio® (defibrotide sodium)
A full list of Jazz-supported oral and poster presentations covering Vyxeos, Defitelio and Erwinaze® (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) follows below:

About Vyxeos™
Vyxeos™ (daunorubicin and cytarabine) is a liposome formulation of a fixed combination of daunorubicin and cytarabine for intravenous infusion. In the U.S., Vyxeos received
Due to different dosage recommendations, Vyxeos should not be substituted with other daunorubicin and/or cytarabine- containing products. Vyxeos can cause allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and should not be given to patients who are allergic to Vyxeos or any of its ingredients. Vyxeos may cause heart-related side effects as well as a severe decrease in blood cells which can result in serious infection or bleeding and possibly lead to death. The most common side effects with Vyxeos are bleeding events, fever, rash, swelling, nausea, sores in the mouth or throat, diarrhea, constipation, muscle pain, tiredness, stomach pain, difficulty breathing, headache, cough, decreased appetite, irregular heartbeat, pneumonia, blood infection, chills, sleep disorders, and vomiting.
Please see full Prescribing Information for Vyxeos before prescribing: http://pp.jazzpharma.com/pi/vyxeos.en.USPI.pdf
About Defitelio®
In the U.S., Defitelio® (defibrotide sodium) received
Defitelio is contraindicated in patients currently taking anticoagulants or fibrinolytics and in patients who are allergic to Defitelio or any of its ingredients. Defitelio may increase the risk of bleeding and should be withheld or stopped if significant bleeding occurs. Patients should be monitored for allergic reactions, especially if there is a history of previous exposure to Defitelio. The most common side effects of Defitelio are decreased blood pressure, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and nose bleeds.
Please see full Prescribing Information for Defitelio before prescribing: http://pp.jazzpharma.com/pi/defitelio.en.USPI.pdf
About Erwinaze®
Erwinaze® (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) is currently approved in the U.S. for administration via intramuscular injection or via intravenous infusion in conjunction with chemotherapy. It is indicated as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have developed hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase. Erwinaze is derived from the bacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi and is therefore immunologically distinct from E. coli-derived asparaginase and suitable for patients with hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived treatments.
Erwinaze is contraindicated in patients who have had serious allergic reactions to Erwinaze, or had serious swelling of the pancreas, serious blood clots, or serious bleeding with past L-asparaginase treatment. Erwinaze should be discontinued if any of the following occur: serious allergic reactions, including a feeling of tightness in the throat, unusual swelling/redness in the throat and/or tongue, or trouble bleeding; or severe inflammation of the pancreas. Glucose intolerance has been reported, which in some cases may be irreversible. If blood clots of bleeding occur, discontinue Erwinaze until symptoms resolve. The most common side effects of Erwinaze are allergic reactions, too much sugar in the blood, fever, swelling of the pancreas, local reactions (swelling, rash, etc. where the needle entered the skin), vomiting, nausea, blood clots, liver problems, stomach pain/discomfort, and diarrhea.
Please see full Prescribing Information for Erwinaze before prescribing: https://www.jazzpharma.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/erwinaze-en-PI.pdf
