Summary of the Third Annual Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network Myeloma Intergroup Workshop on Minimal Residual Disease and Immune Profiling.

ABSTRACT

The third annual Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) Myeloma Intergroup Workshop on Minimal Residual Disease and Immune Profiling was held on November 29, 2018, at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting. This workshop featured the latest research focused on minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment and immune profiling (IP) in myeloma as well as discussion of the statistical and regulatory issues intrinsic to the development of MRD as a surrogate endpoint. In this report, we provide a summary of the workshop and focus on the integration of MRD and IP assessment into trial design and clinical practice.
