The invention provides kits and methods for evaluating the myelosuppress ive state of a patient. These methods and kits provide a useful adjunct for myelosuppressive therapies. By establishing threshold levels of certain cytokines as a surrogate for myelosuppress ion or by using normal levels to evaluate the state of a patient's bone marrow, treatment protocols can be optimized to reduce myelotoxicity, while maximizing effective dose. Further, the invention provides kits and methods that can be used to adjust the dose of myelosuppressive agents or immunomodulators to be administered to a patient, whereby the level of a hematopoietic cytokine in a sample from the patient is compared to a normal level, before and/or after the dose is administered.

L'invention concerne des nécessaires et des procédés permettant d'évaluer l'état myélodépressif d'un patient. Ces procédés et ces nécessaires constituent un complément utile à des thérapies myélodépressives. L'établissement de taux seuils de certaines cytokines en tant que succédané contre l'aplasie médullaire ou par utilisation de taux normaux permettant d'évaluer l'état de la moelle osseuse d'un patient, des protocoles de traitement pouvant être améliorés en vue de réduire la myélotoxicité, tout en maximisant la dose efficace. En outre, l'invention concerne des nécessaires et des procédés pouvant être utilisés en vue de réguler la dose d'agents myélodépressifs ou d'immunomodulateurs à administrer à un patient, alors que le taux d'une cytokine hématopoïétique dans un échantillon de patient est comparé à un taux normal, avant et/ou après administration de la dose.
