Kinetics vary with disease, and with disease sub-types
MRD sensitivity• Depends on the number of cells or DNA copies analysed and the number of pathological
events to be identified in order to define MRD positivity
• Flow Cytometry (FC)
– 10-30 cells with a pathological phenotype (universal or patient specific)– If 10 cells,
• Analyse 100 000 cells -> Sensitivity 10E-4 or 0.01% (Acquisition 5-10 mins) = Multiparameter FC or MFC• Analyse 10M cells -> Sensitivity 10E-6 ou 0.0001% (Acquisition >45 mins & requires « bulk lysis ») Next Gen Flow
– Flores-Montero J …. Orfao for the EuroFlow initiative, Leukemia. 2017 Jan 20. doi: 10.1038/leu.2017.29.
• DNA– 6.6pg = 1 cell, 6.6µg = 1M cells, 500ng = 75 000 cells– Q-PCR by EuroMRD criteria, 3x500ng = 225 000 cells
• Sensitivity 10E-4 - 10E-5 ou 0.01-0.001% • Depends on backgroud
• There will always be a borderline non-quantifiable gray zone (Poisson distribution)– Positive non-quantifiable (PNQ) ou Positive Below Quantifiable Range (BQR)– Frequency depends on the disease (MCL>ALL)
• It is prudent to take clinical decisions in the Quantifiable Range (QR), at at least 1 log abovethe limit of sensitivity.
– Despite this, the clinical tendency is the opposite ie total negativity.
The perfect MRD target
• Universal
• Optimal, uniform Sensitivity/specificity
• Robust
• RapidCompatible with the clinical impact
• Reproducible within and between centres
• Minimal risque of false positive and false negativeresults
• Price compatible with the benefit provided
• Q-PCR, Flow cytometry, ddPCR and IG/TCR NGS

Hematologic Malignancies: Regulatory Considerations for Use of Minimal Residual Disease in Development of Drug and Biological Products for Treatment

For new drugs that have a demonstrated durable CR in patients with relapsed or refractory ALL, FDA has accepted MRD of less than 0.01% as supporting evidence of efficacy. As technologies improve and new clinical findings emerge, the level of MRD needed to support an efficacy claim may change.
First FDA approval of a leukemia drug— Blinatumomab (Blincyto; Amgen)—to include patients who are technically in remission but still have measurable residual disease.

• Each droplet is an isolated reaction vessel• In any given droplet, target may or may not be present
• Endpoint assay• Number of droplets with target (positives)• Number of droplets without target (negatives)

Integrated use of MRD classification and IKZF1 alt. accurately predicts 79% of relapses in pediatric ALL.
• MRD and IKZF1 in 131 uniformly treated precursor-B-ALL patients • Improvement of risk stratification by combining both?• Results
• strong prognostic significance of MRD classification, independent of IKZF1 alterations• 8 / 11 relapsed cases in the large MRD-M group (n=81; 62%) :IKZF1 alteration+ • integration of both MRD and IKZF1 status
- resulted in a favorable outcome group (n=104; 5 relapses) and a poor outcomegroup (n=27; 19 relapses), - showed a stronger prognostic value than each of the 2 alone (hazard ratio (95%CI): 24.98 (8.29-75.31)).
• MRD and IKZF1 status alone identified only 46 and 54% of the relapses, respectively.•Their integrated use allowed prediction of 79% of all the relapses with 93% specificity.

Conclusions
• Q-PCR remains the gold standard for MRD in the EU but not the USA– Flow cytometry can compete if the number of events analysed is increased
to >4M, except in some ALL (and MCL) subtypes– ddPCR is slightly less sensitive than Q-PCR but may be more specific and
merits prospective comparison. • It is very valuable in lymphoma for initial quantification• It is particularly interesting in MCL since there are so many gray zone PNQ/BQR reults
• The relative interests of IG/TR NGS and Q-PCR will be actively evaluatedin the next few years
• The current tendency to require complete MRD negativity encourages the use of techniques with a minimum number of borderline results(ddPCR et NGS cf. qPCR)
• MRD should be evaluated independently in oncogenetic subgroups, atleast in ALL– This requires large patient numbers and encourages international
collaboration
