费城染色体阳性 ALL 中的 MRD：方法学与临床意义

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Measurable residual disease (MRD) is integral in the management of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This review discusses the current methods used to evaluate MRD as well as the interpretation, significance, and incorporation of MRD in current practice. RECENT FINDINGS: New molecular technologies have allowed the detection of MRD to levels as low as 10 - 6 . The most used techniques to evaluate MRD are multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC), quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS). Each method varies in terms of advantages, disadvantages, and MRD sensitivity.

MRD negativity after induction treatment and after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an important prognostic marker that has consistently been shown to be associated with improved outcomes. Blinatumomab, a new targeted therapy for Ph + ALL, demonstrates high efficacy in eradicating MRD and improving patient outcomes.

In the relapsed/refractory setting, the use of inotuzumab ozogamicin and tisagenlecleucel has shown promise in eradicating MRD. The presence of MRD has become an important predictive measure in Ph + ALL. Current studies evaluate the use of MRD in treatment decisions, especially in expanding therapeutic options for Ph + ALL, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, targeted antibody therapies, chimeric antigen receptor cell therapy, and HCT.
