Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Purpose: The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a microfluidics assay can detect trace amounts of residual leukemia and predict relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) or Induction and Consolidation Chemotherapy (ICC) at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital (NCCH). Procedures (methods): A total of 40 eligible subjects will be treated per standard of care with either SCT or induction and consolidation chemotherapy (ICC) based on the appropriate AML treatment paradigm for their disease. Peripheral blood (10 ml) for microfluidic chip analysis and possible Immune Monitoring Core Facility analysis will be collected along with routine lab draws prior to SCT. Patients in remission after SCT or those with confirmed remission by bone marrow biopsy after induction chemotherapy will be followed for 1 year; and peripheral blood (20 ml) will be collected to assess MRD by standard methods or by microfluidic chip analysis on a monthly basis. In addition, bone marrow biopsies will be performed at the end of consolidation (typically 5 months from remission), and at 1-year post remission in non-transplant patients. In transplanted patients, bone marrow biopsies will be collected at + 30 days, + 90 days, +180 days, and +360 days after SCT.
