About this trial
A research investigation into the efficacy of digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (dPCR) for monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with a focus on predicting relapse in patients diagnosed with leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and related hematological conditions.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
The presence of at least one fusion gene or hematological tumor-associated mutation detected at diagnosis by NGS or real-time PCR provided for posttransplant MRD monitoring.
Neutrophil engraftment
Received at least one MRD monitoring by digital PCR after HSCT
Disqualifiers
Patients who relapsed or died before the first digital PCR monitoring
Patients only with mutations in DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 ("DTA mutations") or only germline mutations
Trial population
Patients with hematological malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT were enrolled for MRD monitoring peri-HSCT

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Threshold of dPCR to predict conventional MRD
To establish an optimal threshold for digital PolyTo establish an optimal threshold for digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (dPCR) in predicting Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). MRD recurrence is defined as the reappearance or elevation of minimal residual disease, as assessed by other MRD monitoring methods such as conventional quantitative PCR or multi-color Flow Cytometry (MFC), which served as indications of pre-emptive intervention by current consensus or guideline.
Secondary outcomes
Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR)
The interval from the transplantation date to hematological recurrence
Overall survival (OS)
The time from HSCT to the Death from any cause
Relapse-free survival (RFS)
The time from the date of HSCT to the occurrence of any of the following: Death from any cause Disease recurrence
Non-Relapse Mortality(NRM)
The time from the date of HSCT to deaths that result from complications other than a relapse of the underlying disease.
