paragraph: Profiling of drug-metabolizing enzymes/transporters in CD33 + acute myeloid leukemia patients treated with Gemtuzumab-Ozogamicin and Fludarabine , Cytarabine and Idarubicin . Genetic heterogeneity in drug-metabolizing enzyme/transporter (DMET) genes affects specific drug-related cancer phenotypes. To investigate the relationships between genetic variation and response to treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we genotyped 1931 variants on DMET genes in 94 CD33-positive AML patients enrolled in a phase III multicenter clinical trial combining Gemtuzumab-ozogamicin (GO) with fludarabine-cytarabine-idarubicin (FLAI) regimen, with the DMET Plus platform. Two ADH1A variants showed statistically significant differences (odds ratio (OR)=5.68, P=0.0006; OR=5.35, P=0.0009) in allele frequencies between patients in complete/partial remission and patients without response, two substitutions on CYP2E1 (OR=0.13, P=0.001; OR=0.09, P=0.003) and one on SLCO1B1 (OR=4.68, P=0.002) were found to differently influence liver toxicity, and two nucleotide changes on SULTB1 and SLC22A12 genes correlated with response to GO (OR=0.24, P=0.0009; OR=2.75, P=0.0029). Genetic variants were thus found for the first time to be potentially associated with differential response and toxicity in AML patients treated with a combination of GO-FLAI regimen.
