Study of a Geriatric Assessment to Plan a Treatment Approach for Older People With Various Blood Disorders (NCT04761770)
Phase II Study of a Geriatric Assessment-Driven, Risk-Adapted Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Strategy for Older Patients With Myeloid Malignancies
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will evaluate whether a geriatric assessment can lead to better treatment outcomes in older patients (age 60+) with a myeloid malignancy including acute myeloid leukemia, ,myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms, or related blood disorders who are going to receive chemotherapy or another treatment to prepare the body for an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT). The geriatric assessment includes looking at patients' cognitive function (thinking processes), physical function, mobility (ability to move the body), mood, nutrition, and current medications to help decide the type of treatment they'll receive. Another purpose of this study is to see whether use of the geriatric assessment improves participants' quality of life. We will evaluate participants' quality of life through questionnaires.
