Assessing MRD:does it worthwhile?
▶ MRD = QoR = CHT-resistance leukemic cells surviving cytotoxic therapy
▶ Normal karyotype is molecularly heterogeneous
► Also patients belonging to the most favorablecategories do have relapse
▶ Cytogenetic/genetic risk-stratification inadequate forpredicting relapse in individual patients
Can MRD detection improve outcomeprediction?
Methods for detecting MRD in AML
▶PCR on chimeric fusion genes mutations gene overexpression
▶Flow cytometry leukemia-associated aberrant phenotypes (LAIP), LAIPs
are absent or very infrequent in NBM
• NPM1
• FLT3
• CEBPA
• MLL-PTD
• RUNX1
Potential molecular targets for MRD
• PML-RARA
• CBFB-MYH11
• RUNX1-RUNX1T1
• MLL-fusion partner
• DEK-NUP214
• WT1
• BAALC
• ERG
• MN1

The five attributes of modern FC
▶Lightness Its underlying principle is solid, without any intricate
conjecture
▶Quickness AL diagnosis can be provided within 1 h
▶Exactitude Analytical process is highly controlled and data are
quantitatively expressed
▶Visibility Dot plot pattern recognition
▶Multiplicity 6-9 color polichromatic analysis

MRD monitoring!!!
▶MRD monitoring feasible▶Independent prognostic factor for
Risk of relapseRelapse-free survivalEvent-free survivalOverall survival
MRD monitoring???
▶No agreement on relevant thresholds and checkpoints
Post-induction?Post-consolidation?
▶Is MRD equally relevant in all subsets of AML?▶Will MRD translate in new interventions?▶Can early intervention make a difference?

▶Kinetic of MRD fluctuation between IND andCONS▶Prediction failure for 20-30% MRD neg pts who dorelapse▶PB as alternative source to BM
Points for consideration
Prediction failure for some MRD neg patients
▶20-30% relapse rate in MRD negative. Whydon’t we predict it?
– Technical reasons: sensitivity/specificity
– Biological reasons: role of LSC

▶ Informs appropriate post-remission therapy
▶ Informs decision regarding transplantation infirst CR
–– Optimizes timing & type of transplantOptimizes timing & type of transplant
▶ Defines need for additional therapy post-transplant
▶ Identifies impending relapse & drives pre-emptive therapy
