Observational Study

Sponsor:

Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine

Code:

NCT05909501

Conditions

AML, Adult

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 50+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of the study is to measure physiologic age (there is no current formal definition but is meant to imply that patients should be evaluated holistically rather than on age alone) at baseline in newly diagnosed AML patients over 50 years receiving either intensive or non-intensive treatment. This information will be used to evaluate toxicity, early mortality, remission rates and long term survival.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Primary outcome measure

  • Evaluate physiologic age using baseline measures of physical function, depression, cognition, frailty, and PROs in newly diagnosed AML patients receiving intensive and non-intensive treatment in relation to overall survival at 1 year. [ Time Frame: At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment ]
  • Evaluate baseline measures of physiologic age in relation to short term mortality [ Time Frame: At 30 days and 60 days ]
  • Evaluate baseline measures of physiologic age in relation to grade 3, 4, and 5 toxicities from treatment [ Time Frame: At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment ]
  • Evaluate baseline measures of physiologic age in relation to complete remission [ Time Frame: At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment ]
  • Compare baseline measurements to serial measurements to understand how physical function changes over time with treatment [ Time Frame: At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment ]
  • Evaluate albumin as a biomarker predictor of clinical outcomes of short term mortality, 1 year OS and toxicity [ Time Frame: At 30 days and 60 days ]
  • Create a predictive pre-treatment screening tool [ Time Frame: At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment ]
