Summary

We plan to obtain skin biopsies from patients with systemic sclerosis and healthy donors to grow cells from biopsies. With those cells, we will use them in experiments to see why the cells from systemic sclerosis patients have more fibrosis compared to patients without systemic sclerosis.

Summary

Patients are matched with this clinical trial based on their biomarker test results in the myeloMATCH study. This treatment trial is for adults (ages 18-59) with high-risk AML who have not started treatment yet. Doctors consider AML high risk if it has certain biomarkers that can make it harder to treat. Treatment plans for AML often involve several phases of treatment. The first phase aims to get rid of as many leukemia cells as possible. It helps make it easier for further treatment to keep the cancer under control. Usually, the first treatment patients receive for AML is a combination of 2 chemotherapy drugs, daunorubicin and cytarabine. The purpose of this study is to learn if other options for first treatment may work better for people with high-risk AML. The study doctors will test 4 new treatments and compare them to the usual chemotherapy. This is important because knowing AML is high-risk gives doctors more information about the cancer and how to treat it. People with high-risk AML may benefit from a different approach to treatment. Improving options for people in the first phase of treatment could make further phases of treatment more successful.
