| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We demonstrated the clinical value of minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in multiple myeloma (MM) patients using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC). When MRD negativity in bone marrow and/or autografts of MM patients was achieved, the progression-free survival and overall survival were dramatically improved. Based on the results, we have started the clinical study "Prognostic value of minimal residual disease detection using multiparameter flow cytometry (EuroFlow method) in patients with multiple myeloma who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation: comparison with sequencing-based method (UMIN-CTR ID: UMIN000022238)". On the other hand, we clarified that anti-X antibody which is detected in the sera of MRD negative MM patients binds to a cancer-testis antigen X.
