Brief Summary

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a disease of the elderly, with a median age at diagnosis of 65. A poor outcome in this population has been well established, with very short overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS).There are numerous bad prognostic factors related to the disease itself or to the patient's medical condition. This study will evaluate the impact of a Comprehensive Geriatric assessment (CGA) performed at diagnosis with planned interventions according to disabilities and monthly follow-up by a nurse practitioner during 6 months on functional status of older cancer patients treated for Acute myeloid leukaemia. Functional status will be assessed with the Lawson Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale at diagnosis and 6 months after randomisation.

Study Arms (2)

WITH Comprehensive Geriatric assessment

EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional haematological management of patients and Comprehensive Geriatric assessment (CGA) at diagnosis followed by interventions according to disabilities detected and planned monthly follow up by a nurse practitioner during 6 months.

Behavioral: WITH Comprehensive Geriatric assessment

Conventional

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional haematological management of patients

Behavioral: Conventional

Interventions

Each month after randomization, a nurse practitioner will systematically review the intervention plan. In case of hospitalisation, the nurse will go and meet the patient and his care giver to check each point of the intervention plan. If an action has not been done, a new proposal will be made to the patient. If the patient is at home or in institution, the nurse practitioner will call the patient and /or his care giver for the same purpose

Eligibility Criteria

Age70 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsOlder Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients aged 70 years and older
  • Referred for treatment following a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia.
  • signed informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Terminal patients, with a life expectancy estimated to be less than 3 months, will be excluded from the study, due to ethical issues and the fact that they are unlikely to benefit from this evaluation.
  • Patients unable to give informed consent.
