Leukemia stem cell test to predict relapse and survival in AML with MLL rearrangement.
Official title: Leukemia Stem Cell-based Assay to Predict Relapse and Survival in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT07537738 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test if measuring leukemia stem cells in people aged 6–60 with AML and MLL rearrangement can predict relapse and survival.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
People aged 6–60 with acute myeloid leukemia and documented MLL rearrangement who are receiving chemotherapy or planning/undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant and can provide bone marrow samples.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without MLL rearrangement, those outside the 6–60 age range, or those unable to undergo bone marrow sampling or receive standard chemotherapy/allo‑SCT are unlikely to benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This observational study will measure leukemia stem cells by multiparameter flow cytometry in bone marrow samples collected at the same times patients undergo routine minimal residual disease (MRD) testing. Participants are people aged 6–60 with AML and documented MLL rearrangement who are receiving chemotherapy or undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The presence and level of leukemia stem cells will be correlated with relapse rates and overall survival to determine their predictive value. All testing is performed at Peking University People's Hospital using clinical sample schedules to minimize additional procedures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this test could identify patients at higher risk of relapse so doctors can intensify monitoring or tailor treatment earlier.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work using leukemia stem cell detection and flow‑based MRD has shown promise for predicting relapse in AML overall, but focused data specifically for MLL‑rearranged cases remain limited.
