Myeloma Mrd Agent

Multi-Modal Integration: Combine modalities for comprehensive MRD assessment.

MRD Detection Methods

IMWG MRD Response Criteria

Workflow

1. Input: Flow cytometry FCS files, NGS clonotype data, M-protein MS data, clinical parameters.

2. NGF Analysis: AI-assisted gating and aberrant plasma cell identification.

3. NGS Analysis: Clonotype frequency calculation and threshold application.

4. MS Analysis: M-protein peak detection and quantification.

5. Integration: Combine multi-modal MRD data.

6. Kinetics: Model MRD trajectory and predict outcomes.

7. Output: MRD status, response category, prognostic estimate.

Example Usage

User: "Analyze MRD status for this myeloma patient using flow and NGS data."

NGF Panel (EuroFlow-Based)

Tube 1: CD138/CD38/CD45/CD19/CD56/CD27/CD81/CD117

Aberrant Plasma Cell Phenotype:

• CD138+, CD38++
• CD19- or dim (normal PC: CD19+)
• CD56+ (normal PC: CD56-)
• CD45- or dim (normal PC: CD45+)
• CD27- or dim
• CD117+ (often aberrant)

AI-Assisted Flow Cytometry

Automated Gating:

• CNN-based plasma cell identification
• Aberrant vs normal PC discrimination
• Consistent quantification across samples

Quality Control:

• Sample adequacy assessment
• Hemodilution detection
• Event count validation

NGS Clonotype Analysis

Process:

1. Identify dominant clone at diagnosis (IGH/IGK/IGL)
2. Design clone-specific assay or use multiplex (clonoSEQ)
3. Track clonal frequency in follow-up samples
4. Apply MRD threshold (typically 10^-5 or 10^-6)

Considerations:

• Clonal evolution may affect tracking
• Biclonal disease requires tracking both
• IGK/IGL backup if IGH fails

Prognostic Significance

Clinical Decision Support

MRD-Guided Treatment:

• De-escalation in sustained MRD-neg
• Intensification if MRD conversion
• Maintenance duration decisions

Monitoring Frequency:

• Post-induction
• Post-consolidation
• Post-transplant (Day +100)
• Every 6-12 months on maintenance

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• FlowJo or equivalent for FCS files
• NGS analysis pipelines
• Mass spectrometry processing tools
