Lower cardiotoxicity of CPX-351 relative to daunorubicin plus cytarabine free-drug combination in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Liposomal formulations are hypothesized to alleviate anthracycline cardiotoxicity, although this has only been documented clinically for doxorubicin. We developed an in vitro multiparametric model using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) to assess the relative toxicity of anthracyclines across formulations. Proof of concept was established by treating hiPSC-CM with equivalent concentrations of free and liposomal doxorubicin. The study was then repeated with free daunorubicin plus cytarabine and CPX-351, a dual-drug liposomal encapsulation of daunorubicin/cytarabine. hiPSC-CM were treated with free-drug or liposomal formulations for 24 h on Days 1, 3, and 5 at equivalent concentrations ranging from 0 to 1000 ng/mL and assessed on subsequent days.
