Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial
Feasibility Pilot Exploring Variability in Biomarkers and PROs in AML
Summary
This research study is being conducted to help understand how the symptoms during treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may be affected by metabolism and how best to study this association. Symptoms include experiences like fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, and depression.
Full Description
This is a prospective, longitudinal, observational exploratory study. Ten participants will be enrolled and will complete baseline and week 4 blood sample collections. Symptom questionnaires will be completed at baseline, 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-weeks.
This research study is a Pilot Study, which means it is the first time that researchers are studying the associations between symptoms and metabolism in this way.
The National Institute of Nursing Research is supporting this research study by providing funding for the research study.
