Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to see how certain genetic variations relate to side effects and outcomes experienced while receiving treatment with azacitidine and venetoclax.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective pilot study of the association of SNPs and venetoclax levels with toxicity and response to azacitidine plus venetoclax (Aza/Ven) as well as pharmacogenomics and venetoclax levels in patients with newly diagnosed AML determined to be unfit for intensive induction. Newly diagnosed AML patients over 18 years old who receive Aza/Ven as standard of care will be eligible for this study. Buccal swabs for SNPs and pharmacogenomic analysis can occur at any point before or after starting treatment during the study period. Venetoclax peak and trough levels will be obtained during SOC Aza/Ven treatments. Participants will be recruited initially at AHWFBCCC locations.

Arms & Interventions
AML participants who are receiving or are planned to receive azacitidine plus venetoclax
Buccal swabs for SNPs and pharmacogenomic analysis can occur at any point before or after starting treatment during the study period. Venetoclax peak and trough levels will be obtained during SOC Aza/Ven treatments. CYP3A activity will also be evaluated. Demographic and cancer related history will be acquired for each participant. During study participation, cancer treatment details including administration, dose modifications, delays, and reductions, including specific grade 3 toxicities, stem cell transplant status, symptom burden, disease response, and survival will be collected. Participants will be taken off study after three years.
Intervention: Biospecimen samples
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Toxicity side effect
Time Frame: From initiation of venetoclax through 30 days after last dose
Defined as a binary variable indicating whether a participant experienced a Grade 3 or higher of specific side effects (including infections, anemia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, neutropenia, nausea, diarrhea)
Secondary Outcomes
- Dose Modification(Approximately 6 months or until last dose of Venetoclax, whichever came first)
- Overall survival(Approx 3 years)
- Disease Response(Up to 3 years)
- Venetoclax levels(Approx 6 months)
- Dose modification due to nausea or diarrhea(Approximately 6 months or until last dose of Venetoclax, whichever came first)
- Metabolizer status checklist(Approximately 6 months or until last dose of Venetoclax, whichever came first)
