MiRNA profile at diagnosis predicts treatment outcome in patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A FILO study.

ABSTRACT: During many years, chemo-immunotherapy fludarabine-cyclophosphamide-rituximab (FCR) was the gold standard for first line treatment of medically fit patients with symptomatic B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Over the last decade, targeted biotherapies have revolutionized the treatment of B-CLL patients and almost entirely supplanted FCR. However, no biomarker still exists to predict the complete remission (CR) with undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) in bone marrow (BM), which remains the best predictive factor for survival. MicroRNAs represent a class of molecular biomarkers which expression is altered in B-CLL. Our study aimed at identifying before treatment blood miRNAs that predict treatment outcome in previously untreated B-CLL patients (NCT01370772, https://clinicaltrial
