Monitoring of Minimal Residual Disease Monitoring of Minimal Residual Disease Principles and ApplicationsPrinciples and Applications
MRD studies in AML: Potential MRD studies in AML: Potential UtilityUtility
• Definition: Residual disease morphologic Definition: Residual disease morphologic complete remission (CR) (complete remission (CR) (≤ ≤ 5% blasts)5% blasts)
• Time points of testing: post induction, post Time points of testing: post induction, post consolidation, pre-transplant, during CR consolidation, pre-transplant, during CR
• Prognostic in most studiesPrognostic in most studies
• Effectiveness of therapy: quantitative, kineticsEffectiveness of therapy: quantitative, kinetics
• Guidance for risk adjusted therapyGuidance for risk adjusted therapy
• Distinguish early recovery from persistent AMLDistinguish early recovery from persistent AML
• Predicting early relapsePredicting early relapse
Methods
• MRD by PCR
• Leukemic fusion genes (PML-RARA)
• Mutations (NPM1)
• Gene overexpression (WT1)
• Multiparameter flow cytometry (FCM)

• If available, compare MRD to the original If available, compare MRD to the original phenotypephenotype
• Need detailed description of antigen Need detailed description of antigen expression or dot-plotsexpression or dot-plots
