Brief Title: Metabolic Changes in Blood Samples From Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Official Title: A Study of the Metabolic Changes in Leukemia Cells Following Treatment in AML Patients
Study ID: NCT02581917
Brief Summary: This research trial studies metabolic changes in blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the metabolic adaptations that occur following exposure to standard chemotherapeutic agents using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples for analysis via cell isolation, glycolytic flux and oxygen consumption assays, viability assays, and western blot at baseline, 24, 48, and 72 hours after starting chemotherapy.
