8601 Background: Although molecular CR in multiple myeloma (MM) can be assessed by allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO)-PCR, this technique requires preparation of clonotype-specific primers for each individual which is laborious and time-consuming. The usage of the LymphoSIGHT method, a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based platform, may overcome these challenges and increase sensitivity and specificity. We compared the LymphoSIGHT approach with ASO-qPCR for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in autografts in the autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (ASCT) setting. Methods: Seventeen Japanese patients with newly diagnosed MM who received various induction regimens prior to ASCT were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had achieved a PR or CR after ASCT. Bone marrow (BM) slides from 13 MM patients and fresh BM cells from 4 MM patients at diagnosis as well as autografts were obtained for DNA extraction. Using universal primer sets, we amplified IGH variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) gene segments, IGH-DJ, and IGK from genomic DNA. Amplified products were subjected to deep sequencing using NGS. Reads were analyzed using standardized algorithms for clonotype determination. Myeloma-specific clonotypes were identified for each patient based on their high frequency in BM samples. The presence of the myeloma clonotype was then assessed in follow-up samples. Results: MRD in autografts was detected in 6 of 17 (35%) by ASO-qPCR and 13 of 17 (76%) by NGS. When MRD was assessed by NGS, 6 MRD (+) cases received post-ASCT therapy while 4 MRD (-) cases and 7 MRD (+) cases were followed without post-ASCT therapy. The MRD (-) cases tended to show a better PFS than the MRD (+) cases with post-ASCT therapy (P = 0.26) and those without post-ASCT therapy (P = 0.09) although overall survival rates were comparable among the three groups. There was no difference in PFS between MRD (-) and MRD (+) cases when MRD was assessed by ASO-qPCR (P = 0.6). These studies will be extended in 30 additional MM patients, and results will be presented. Conclusions: MRD-negativity in autografts revealed by NGS may be more closely associated with durable remission of MM than that revealed by ASO-qPCR.
