This is a study for people diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes who are receiving treatment with hypomethylating agents and Venetoclax. Specifically, we want to learn more about nutrition, eating, and mealtimes for older adults (age 60+) with these conditions and their care partners. Care partners can be a spouse, family member, or friend helping a patient with AML/MDS. We want to understand nutrition, eating, and mealtimes over time throughout the first two cycles of treatment. We also want to learn more about the quality of life for patients and care partners.
At the beginning of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 treatment, you will meet with a member of the study team to fill out questionnaires and tests related to your quality of life, diet, nutrition, and ability to complete daily tasks/function. Care partners will meet with a member of the study team to fill out questionnaires related to their quality of life, nutrition, and caregiving. Patients and care partners will also complete a 30-45 minute interview about eating and mealtimes. Every two weeks through Cycles 1 and 2, patients and care partners will complete some assessments for quality of life and nutrition, along with an interview about eating and mealtimes.
