  8. t(7;11)/NUP98-HOXA9 as a marker More common in Asia and is associated with poor prognosis #11 fusion #7 NTUH, Leukemia, 2009, 23:1303

  9. Correlation between marrow blast percentage and mutant load of NUP98-HOXA9 Real-time PCR for NUP98–HOXA9 Log NUP98-HOXA9/ 106 HUPO Blast percentage in bone marrow The mutant signals always remain high even when BM blasts <5% and are rarely undetectable. NTUH, Leukemia, 2009, 23:1303

MRD monitoring of t(7;11)/NUP98-HOXA9 A Patient No. 11 Patient No. 7 B CR CR relapse Sibling HSCT (reduced intensity) CR CR CR Log NUP98-HOXA9/106 HUPO MUD HSCT (myeloablative) Log NUP98-HOXA9/106 HUPO CR CR CR CR CR Months from diagnosis Months from diagnosis Patient No. 6 Patient No. 8 D C 5 PR Relapse CR CR CR 4 Relapse CR CR CR CR MUD HSCT myeloablative 3 PR Log NUP98-HOXA9/106 HUPO CR Sibling HSCT (myeloablative) Log NUP98-HOXA9/106 HUPO 2 CR CR CR 1 DLI CR CR AutoBMT 0 DLI 0 10 20 30 40 50 Months from diagnosis Months from diagnosis In general, chemotherapy and even HSCT can only partially reduce the mutant signals which are always detectable even at CR.Most pts died of disease. The leukemic cells are very resistant to the present treatment and novel therapy is needed for these patients. NTUH, Leukemia, 2009, 23:1303

  11. WT1overexpression as a marker to monitor MRD Overexpression of WT1 can be found in >80% of AML patients European LeukemiaNet (ELN) has standardized the assay method for WT1 expression European LeukemiaNet, JCO, 2009, 27:5195

  13. Prognostic implication of MRD in patients withNPM1 mutation After consolidation OS RFS Others, n=16 Others, n=16 Reduction <2 logs, n=6 Reduction <2 logs, n=6 P=0.010 P=0.001 Month Month NTUH 2006 NPM1-mutated patients with less than 2 logs reduction of NPM1 mutant after consolidation C/T had shorter OS and RFS More aggressive treatment may be needed for this group of patients.

  14. Prognostic Significance of MRD Levels of NPM1 mutants during Follow-ups OS RFS n=13 n=13 P=0.002 P<0.001 Any > 1.5%, n=18 Any > 1.5%, n=18 Month Month During sequential follow-ups, patients who had >1.5% of NPM1 mutant in any sample had poorer prognosis Early intervention at this moment may be needed for these patients.

  22. Proposed guidelines for MRD During follow-ups: according to the relapse kinetics of different molecular alterations During treatment: according to the prognostic significance of MRD at different time points PML-RARA, CBFB-MYH11, RUNX1-RUNX1T1: after consolidation NPM1 mutation: after double induction and consolidation WT1 expression: after induction Figure 1.

  23. Summary • Molecular monitoring by quantitative real-time PCR • is sensitive and specific for MRD detection in AML. • Molecular monitoring after treatment is helpful for risk-stratification. • Pre-emptive therapy at the time of molecular relapse during follow-ups may improve the clinical outcome. • The optimal timing for MRD assessment varies with • molecular groups.

  24. Future Prospective Standardize the method and timing of molecular monitoring. • Incorporate MRD detection into pretreatmentrisk factors in clinical trials to evaluate more clearly the prognostic significance of MRD and to design preemptive measurement on a molecular relapse. • Apply next generation deep sequencing of targeted genes for MRD detection.
