About this trial

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.

Time frame
At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment
2

Evaluate baseline measures of physiologic age in relation to short term mortality

Time frame
At 30 days and 60 days
3

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
4

Evaluate baseline measures of physiologic age in relation to complete remission

Time frame
At baseline, 14 days after treatment, 1 month after treatment
