Monitoring disease burden in chronic myeloid leukemia: Past, present, and future

Abstract: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy yields sustained cytogenetic remissions in most patients with chronic‐phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Peripheral blood quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) monitoring of the chimeric BCR‐ABL1 mRNA transcript levels is a very sensitive method to measure disease burden in patients with cytogenetic remission. qRT‐PCR allows identification of patients (1) at high risk of progression early (3–6 months) after treatment initiation, (2) wi… Show more

“…In order to accurately monitor the effects of treatment, a test that can measure MRD, a small amount of which remains in the patient's body, is required, and the BCR-ABL1 mRNA test has become increasingly popular worldwide. In particular, this test has been established as an International Scale (IS) to promote the standardization of measurement methods and values, and monitoring by IS is now recommended in the guidelines of various countries [83,84]. However, molecular relapse is experienced in more than 50% of patients undergoing TKI discontinuation, even after achieving deep and undetectable MRD as measured by the BCR-ABL1 mRNA test [85][86][87].…”

“…The remaining patients are refractory or resistant to TKIs, and they pose a significant challenge in CML [ 18 ]. The BCR::ABL1 transcript detection and quantification in peripheral blood (PB) cells using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and normalization to a housekeeping gene is recognized as the international standardized method for determining minimal residual disease (MRD) and plays an important role in the management of CML patients [ 19 , 20 ]. As aforementioned, the MRD level is distinguished as a major molecular response (MMR or MR3.0), with BCR::ABL1 ≤0.1% and ABL1 >10.000 copies; or a DMR (MR4.0, MR4.5, MR5.0) if BCR::ABL1 ≤0.01%, or ABL >10.000 copies when BCR::ABL1 is undetectable [ 11 ].…”

“…The focus of this short review is on molecular diagnostic testing for the three most common BCR‐ABL1 ‐negative MPNs: polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), which display distinct clinical and pathologic features at presentation and exhibit different risks for progression to overt marrow fibrosis and acute myeloid leukemia. This review does not cover BCR‐ABL1 testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or CSF3R testing in neutrophilic leukemias ; for a recent review on BCR‐ABL1 testing in CML, please refer to the previous Test of the Month .…”
