BCR–ABL1 mRNA levels represent the key molecular marker for the evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is currently the standard method to monitor it. In the era of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) discontinuation, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has emerged to provide a more precise detection of MRD. To hypothesize the use of ddPCR in clinical practice, we designed a multicentric study to evaluate the potential value of ddPCR in the diagnostic routine. Thirty-seven RNA samples from CML patients and five from healthy donors were analyzed using both ddPCR QXDxTMBCR-ABL %IS Kit and LabNet-approved RT-qPCR methodologies in three different Italian laboratories. Our results show that ddPCR has a good agreement with RT-qPCR, but it is more precise to quantify BCR–ABL1 transcript levels. Furthermore, we did not find differences between duplicate or quadruplicate analysis in terms of BCR–ABL1% IS values. Droplet digital PCR could be confidently introduced into the diagnostic routine as a complement to the RT-qPCR.
