Correlation of Serum Gasdermin-D and NLRP-3 Inflammasome Levels With GVHD Biomarkers and Endothelial Damage Markers in Graft-Versus-Host Disease in AML Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation

The investigators aimed to reveal the relationship between serum markers of pyroptosis, GVHD biomarkers and endothelial damage markers in patients who were planned for allogeneic stem cell transplantation for AML and developed GVHD during follow-up. Secondary outcomes of the study were to demonstrate the role of pyroptosis in the pathophysiology of GVHD and transplantation-associated endothelial injury using serum plasma samples; the efficacy of GVHD biomarkers used to demonstrate organ-specific involvement; and the efficacy of GVHD biomarkers and endothelial injury markers in predicting the development of GVHD, transplantation-associated endothelial injury and non-relapse mortality.

Detailed Description

In the study, in patients who were planned to receive allogeneic stem cell transplantation for AML, pre-transplant period (before and after central catheter insertion) and post-transplant period (+1, +7, +14, +28, +60 and +100 days in the post-transplant period) serum pyroptosis markers (Serum Gasdermin-D and NLRP-3 Inflammasome levels), GVHD biomarkers (REG-3 alpha, ST2, ELAFIN, HGF, ILR2-alpha, CXCL 9, CXCL 10, CXCL11, BAFF, TNF-alpha, I IL8, IL6 , IL18 , I IL1-beta , IL12 , IFN-gamma) and endothelial damage markers (serums-ICAM , sE-selectin , sVCAM , ANG2 , CRP , vWF , Factor 8 , LDH , d-dimer , transaminase enzyme levels and before transplantation, The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between basic biomarkers in pyroptosis and biomarkers with high predictive value in GVHD and markers of endothelial damage in patients who develop GVHD during follow-up using nail bed capillaroscopic examination and fibroelastographic evaluation to be performed on the twenty-first and hundredth days after transplantation.The serum samples obtained will be compared with the groups of patients with and without GVHD at the planned 1-year follow-up.

Patients diagnosed with AML between 15.11.2023 and 15.11.2024 will be included in the study and a total of 2 years of clinical follow-up is planned.

In case of loss of participants during follow-up, the study planned to recruit new patients with AML who were scheduled for transplantation between November 15, 2023 and November 15, 2024.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Developing GVHD

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The relationship between pyroptosis, GVHD and endothelial damage in allogeneic bone marrow transplant patients
Time Frame: The pre- and post-transplant serum samples,capillaroscopic and fibroelastographic examinations will be performed for each participant at the specified time interval until post-transplant 100th day
To reveal the relationship between basic biomarkers in pyroptosis and biomarkers with high predictive value in GVHD and endothelial damage markers in AML (acute myeloid leukemia) patients with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
The pre- and post-transplant serum samples,capillaroscopic and fibroelastographic examinations will be performed for each participant at the specified time interval until post-transplant 100th day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy of used GVHD biomarkers in indicating organ-specific involvement
Time Frame: The pre- and post-transplant serum samples,capillaroscopic and fibroelastographic examinations will be performed for each participant at the specified time interval until post-transplant 100th day
Effect of REG-3 alpha, ELAFIN and HGFs in demonstrating organ specificity in GVHD development
The pre- and post-transplant serum samples,capillaroscopic and fibroelastographic examinations will be performed for each participant at the specified time interval until post-transplant 100th day

Time Frame: The pre- and post-transplant serum samples,capillaroscopic and fibroelastographic examinations will be performed for each participant at the specified time interval until post-transplant 100th day
