New blood test could spot leukemia return months earlier
NCT ID NCT07500441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new, highly sensitive blood test (digital PCR) to find tiny amounts of leukemia cells that remain after a stem cell transplant in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this test can predict a relapse earlier than current methods. About 100 participants will have their blood checked at several time points over the first year after transplant. The study does not provide a treatment, but aims to improve how doctors monitor for disease return.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 2. Undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) at the investigating center. 3. Negative for recurrent fusion genes routinely monitored in the clinical laboratory, including but not limited to AML1::ETO, CBFB::MYH11, KMT2A (MLL) rearrangements, NUP98::NSD1, NUP98::HOXA9, FUS::ERG, DEK::NUP214, SET::NUP214, PICALM::AF10, and BCR::ABL1. 4. Availability of next-generation sequencing (NGS) results at initial diagnosis with accessible original reports. 5. Negative for NPM1 mutations at initial diagnosis. 6. Presence of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and/or myelodysplasia-related (MR) gene mutations at initial diagnosis, including but not limited to DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1, JAK2, IDH2, BCOR, EZH2, RUNX1, STAG2, and ZRSR2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with mutation profiles unsuitable for the design of patient-specific digital PCR (dPCR) assays achieving a sensitivity of ≤0.1%. 2. Absence of evaluable molecular targets for longitudinal MRD monitoring.
