Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of minimal residual disease (MRD) on day 15 of induction therapy (d15) on the treatment outcome in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 74 patients (1-18 years) with ALL, who were treated at the Pediatric Clinic of the University Clinical Center Banja Luka from January 2011 to May 2021. All patients were treated according to ALL IC-BFM 2009 protocol. MRD on bone marrow was assessed d15, using the multiparameter flow cytometry method (FCM). RESULTS Of all, 59.46% of patients had MRD d15 0.1-10%, MRD<0.1% had 18.92% of patients, and 21.62% had MRD >10%. Patients with the lowest MRD had the highest 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (89.5% and 91% respectively) and the lowest cumulative risk for relapse or death (9.7% and 8.1%), in contrast to patients with MRD>10% in whom OS was 80.0%, and the risk of recurrence is 20%. Predicted MRD d15 was significantly associated with prednisone response assessed in the peripheral blood on day 8 (P<0.001) and statistically significantly positive correlation (r=0.498; P<0.001) was found. CONCLUSION MRD measurement d15 has a great prognostic significance for patients in the standard and high risk groups, but not for patients in the intermediate risk group. The introduction of additional testing is necessary for better identification of patients with an increased risk of disease recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, the identification of minimal residual disease (MRD) that persists after chemotherapy has emerged as the most powerful tool in determining the prognosis of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Multiple methods to detect MRD exist, each with its own benefits and drawback. Multiparameter flow cytometry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction are the most commonly used methods of MRD detection in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE to evaluate the impact of minimal residual disease detection by Next Generation Flow Cytometry on Outcome of Egyptian Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. PATIENTS &METHODS The study conducted on 93 patients with recently diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. MRD detection was evaluated during follow up of patient (at End of induction EOI and End of consolidation EOC by next generation flow cytometry. RESULTS Out of 93 patients, 28 (30%) had positive MRD at EOI. Age, BCR-ABL, risk assessment, and relapse had a substantial impact on MRD at EOI (P <0.005). Fourteen patients (17.9%) at EOC were MRD positive; age, hemoglobin, blast count at diagnosis, BCR-ABL, risk stratification, relapse and overall survival showed significant association. CONCLUSION Positive MRD was a major risk factor for predicting poor survival and relapse at both EOI and EOC by cox regression analysis.

Abstract
To evaluate the optimal time to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) for pediatric patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Children newly diagnosed with T-ALL were treated per the CCLG-ALL2008 protocol in our hospital. MRD was monitored at days 15, 33 and 90, and the patients were stratified as low-, intermediate- or high-risk according to MRD at days 33 and 90. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates for all patients were 60.1 ± 5.6% and 63.1 ± 5.6%, respectively. The median follow-up time was 54 (0.3-120) months. Univariate analysis showed that the 5-year EFS rate correlated with MRD at days 33 and 90 (p < .01). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that only MRD at day 90 and involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) were independent prognostic factors. MRD at day 90 likely provides better prognostic value for pediatric T-ALL patients. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00707083.
