Detailed Description

This is a multi-center non-randomized prospective study designed to establish a national framework for introducing measurable residual disease testing into the clinical care of AML patients undergoing allogeneic transplantation. Enrollment is expected to occur over a 4-year period, with an additional 3 years of follow-up. Subject participation this study will be approximately 3 years. Up to 1,000 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be asked to provide blood samples at months 1-6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 post-transplant, and archived specimens from time of AML diagnosis and any bone marrow samples collected for clinical purposes will be requested for research testing. Additional blood and marrow samples will be requested at relapse (if applicable).
