Abstract

Elacytarabine is the elaidic acid ester derivative of cytarabine, designed to enter cells independently of nucleoside transporters. Effects of elacytarabine on QT interval, serum lipid profile and clinical activity were investigated in 43 relapsed/refractory AML patients. Mean maximum increase in corrected QT interval of 24(±29) ms occurred 48 h after elacytarabine infusion without associated arrhythmias or clinical symptoms. A non-clinically significant, elacytarabine exposure-dependent increase in cholesterol was caused by a cholesterol rich lipoprotein depleted of apolipoprotein B formed by infused phospholipids complexing cholesterol. Elacytarabine is clinically active in relapsed/refractory AML: overall response rate (CR + CRi) was 44% (16/36 with 7 non-evaluable patients) and adverse events were manageable.
