Popis: Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation allows the delivery of curative graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplasia (AML/MDS). Surveillance of T-cell chimerism, measurable residual disease (MRD) and blast HLA-DR expression may inform whether GVL effectiveness is reduced. We report the prognostic impact of these biomarkers in patients allografted for AML/MDS. 187 patients from FIGARO, a randomized trial of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens in AML/MDS, were alive and relapse-free, at the first MRD timepoint and provided bone marrow for flow cytometric MRD monitoring and blood samples for T-cell chimerism analysis, requested to month+12. 29 (15.5%) patients had at least one MRD-positive result post-transplant. MRD-positivity was associated with reduced overall survival (OS) (HR:2.18, p=0.0028) as a time-varying Cox variable and remained significant irrespective of pre-transplant MRD status in multivariate analyses (p
