Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) is the most frequent pediatric cancer. Refractory/relapsed cALL presents a survival rate of similar to 45% and is still one of the leading causes of death by disease among children. Mechanisms, such as clonal competition and evolutionary adaptation, govern treatment resistance. However, the underlying clonal dynamics leading to multiple relapses and differentiating early (<36 months postdiagnosis) from late relapse events remain elusive. Here, we use an integrative genome-based analysis combined with serial sampling of relapsed tumors (from primary tumor to <= 4 relapse events) from 19 pre-B-cell cALL patients (8 early and 11 late relapses) to assess the fitness of somatic mutations and infer their ancestral relationships. By quantifying both general clonal dynamics and newly acquired subclonal diversity, we show that 2 distinct evolutionary patterns govern early and late relapse: on one hand, a highly dynamic pattern, sustained by a putative defect of DNA repair processes, illustrating the quick emergence of fitter clones, and on the other hand, a quasi-inert evolution pattern, suggesting the escape from dormancy of leukemia stem cells likely spared from initial cytoreductive therapy. These results offer new insights into cALL relapse mechanisms and highlight the pressing need for adapted treatment strategies to circumvent resistance mechanisms.
