Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The emergence of transcriptional signatures that define cell types and pathways has made it possible to guide cancer therapy selection through gene expression profiling. We developed a rapid qPCR-based platform to profile cell state, stemness, and BCL2 family gene expression as a companion diagnostic test for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We validated the stability and utility of the signatures across multiple measurement platforms and using patient samples from two centers. Integrating these signatures with clinical features enables an expedient means to predict the likelihood of patient responses to two standard-of-care therapies: intensive chemotherapy and hypomethylating agent plus venetoclax (HMA+Ven). For patients treated with HMA+Ven, expression levels of the promonocyte-like signature and BCL2 add predictive value for response and overall survival in multivariable models that include genetic features. The incorporation of the rapid profiler into the prospective evaluation of newly diagnosed AML patients may enhance treatment stratification and improve outcomes.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
