Inflammatory biomarkers, geriatric assessment, and treatment outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To investigate changes in inflammatory biomarkers during induction therapy for older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their associations with geriatric assessment (GA) measures and outcomes. METHODS:This was a single institution ancillary study to a prospective observational study (N?=?20 consecutive adults aged ?60 with newly diagnosed AML who received induction chemotherapy). Biomarkers (Interleukin-6 [IL-6], IL-6 soluble receptor [IL-6 sR], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF?], TNF? soluble receptor 1 [TNF? sR1], interleukin-3 [IL-3], C-reactive protein [CRP]) were collected at start of induction, weekly for three weeks, and post-induction and were compared over time using paired t-tests. GA was administered at baseline and post-induction, and correlated with biomarker levels using Spearman correlations. Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier and compared by categorized biomarker level using Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS:Biomarker levels were stable during induction, except for CRP and IL-6 sR.
