Abstract
- Background and purpose Is minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) prognostic for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients before allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)? And if so, what level of MRD eradication can be used to help guide the timing of HSCT? Can haplo-HSCT improve the prognosis of AML patients with MRD positive? To figure out these questions, we initiated this retrospective study. Methods 96 AML patients were included retrospectively and divided into 5 groups, according to pre-transplantation MRD levels (from 5 × 10−2 to <1 × 10−4), to analyze the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR). Secondly, we compared the prognosis of MRD-negative (MRDneg) and MRD-positive (MRDpos) AML patients (cutoff value = 1 × 10−3) who underwent allo-HSCT, and further analyzed the prognosis of MRDpos patients after received different transplantation modalities. Results It is found that the 2-year OS and DFS of MRD negative group were better than the MRD positive group, and that the deeper the eradication of MRD before transplantation, the better the prognosis of patients. The CIR in patients received HLA-identical transplantation, was higher in the MRDpos than in the MRDneg. Haploid transplantation reduced the CIR disparity between MRDpos and MRDneg group. Subsequently, in AML patients who remain MRD positive before HSCT, we show that haplo-HSCT offered a better prognosis than HLA-identical transplantation (MSDT and MUDT). Conclusion It is suggested that achieving MFC-MRD <10−3 (10−4 or even better) before allo-HSCT could reduce the relapse of AML and improve OS and DFS significantly, while haplo-HSCT may be preferred for patients not achieving MRD negativity.
