The registry aims to document epidemiologic data, treatment and long-term outcome as well as quality of life of patients with APL. Additionally, a biobanking project for further translational studies is integrated.
Prospective population-based non-interventional and non-randomized multicenter registry.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Newly-diagnosed APL (de Novo or Therapy-related) Relapsed APL | Other: observational |
- collection of epidemiological data for APL: age distribution, prognostic factors, distribution of subgroups, incidence
- documentation of efficacy and safety of the first line and salvage therapy in APL including
- documentation of minimal residual disease (MRD)
- correlation of clinical outcomes with chosen therapy
- collection and evaluation of quality of life
- validation of published prognostic factors / new potential prognostic factors
- acquisition of bone marrow, peripheral blood and buccal swab samples for biobanking and translational studies under the umbrella of the specific study-group biobanking concepts
