During this workshop, investigators from around the world presented their latest research involving assessment of minimal residual disease (MRD) and immune profiling (IP) in myeloma. This document summarizes the workshop presentations as well as relevant ASH abstracts and focuses on the regulatory issues involved in the integration of MRD and IP assessment in clinical trial design and practice.
