Purpose of Review Clinical factors alone do not enable us to differentiate which patients will maintain treatment-free remission (TFR) from those who are likely to relapse. Thus, patient-specific factors must also play a role. This review will update the reader on the most recent studies presenting biological factors that can help predict tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) discontinuation success. Recent Findings Cellular and molecular factors with a suggested role in TFR include immune factors and leukemic stem cell (LSC) persistence; the BCR::ABL1 transcript type, halving time, and  BCR::ABL1  DNA and RNA positivity; as well as other molecular factors such as somatic mutations, RNA expression, and telomere length. Summary Our review presents several biomarkers with predictive value for TFR but also highlights areas of unmet need. Future discontinuation guidelines will likely include biological factors for the personalization of TFR prediction. However, it will be important that such advances do not prevent more patients from making a TKI discontinuation attempt.
