Overview
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.
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.
