Description	According to European Leukemia Network (ELN) recommendations, real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) is a conventional strategy for long-term BCR-ABL1 transcript monitoring in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) both during tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and its discontinuation [1–5]. However, with the new Regulation (EU) 2017/746 coming, health institutions will have to start using CE-marked IVD (CE-IVD) devices (including kits, reagents, calibrators, etc.) for analyses. Thus, commercial CE-IVD tests will also enter into routine CML diagnostics in the near future.
