Abstract
Importance Disparities in outcomes exist between Black and White patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with Black patients experiencing poorer prognosis compared with their White counterparts. Objective To assess whether varying intensity of induction therapy to treat pediatric AML is associated with reduced disparities in treatment outcome by race. Design, Setting, and Participants A comparative effectiveness analysis was conducted of 86 Black and 359 White patients with newly diagnosed AML who were enrolled in the AML02 trial from 2002 to 2008 or the AML08 trial from 2008 to 2017. Statistical analysis was conducted from July 2023 through January 2024. Interventions Patients in AML02 were randomly assigned to receive standard low-dose cytarabine-based induction therapy or augmented high-dose cytarabine-based induction therapy, whereas patients in AML08 received high-dose cytarabine-based therapy. Main Outcomes and Measures Cytarabine pharmacogenomic 10-single-nucleotide variant (ACS10) scores were evaluated for association with outcome according to race and treatment arm. Results This analysis included 86 Black patients (mean [SD] age, 8.8 [6.5] years; 54 boys [62.8%]; mean [SD] leukocyte count, 52 600 [74 000] cells/µL) and 359 White patients (mean [SD] age, 9.1 [6.2] years; 189 boys [52.6%]; mean [SD] leukocyte count, 54 500 [91 800] cells/µL); 70 individuals with other or unknown racial and ethnic backgrounds were not included. Among all patients without core binding factor AML who received standard induction therapy, Black patients had significantly worse outcomes compared with White patients (5-year event-free survival rate, 25% [95% CI, 9%-67%] compared with 56% [95% CI, 46%-70%]; P = .03). By contrast, among all patients who received augmented induction therapy, there were no differences in outcome according to race (5-year event-free survival rate, Black patients, 50% [95% CI, 38%-67%]; White patients, 48% [95% CI, 42%-55%]; P = .78). Among patients who received standard induction therapy, those with low ACS10 scores had a significantly worse 5-year event-free survival rate compared with those with high scores (42.4% [95% CI, 25.6%-59.3%] and 70.0% [95% CI, 56.6%-83.1%]; P = .004); however, among patients who received augmented induction therapy, there were no differences in 5-year event-free survival rates according to ACS10 score (low score, 60.6% [95% CI, 50.9%-70.2%] and high score, 54.8% [95% CI, 47.1%-62.5%]; P = .43). Conclusions and Relevance In this comparative effectiveness study of pediatric patients with AML treated in 2 consecutive clinical trials, Black patients had worse outcomes compared with White patients after treatment with standard induction therapy, but this disparity was eliminated by treatment with augmented induction therapy. When accounting for ACS10 scores, no outcome disparities were seen between Black and White patients. Our results suggest that using pharmacogenomics parameters to tailor induction regimens for both Black and White patients may narrow the racial disparity gap in patients with AML.

Abstract
Antineoplastic uptake by blast cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) could be influenced by influx and efflux transporters, especially solute carriers (SLCs) and ATP-binding cassette family (ABC) pumps. Genetic variability in SLC and ABC could produce interindividual differences in clinical outcomes. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the influence of SLC and ABC polymorphisms and their combinations on efficacy and safety in AML cohorts. Anthracycline intake was especially influenced by SLCO1B1 polymorphisms, associated with lower hepatic uptake, showing higher survival rates and toxicity in AML studies. The variant alleles of ABCB1 were related to anthracycline intracellular accumulation, increasing complete remission, survival and toxicity. Similar findings have been suggested with ABCC1 and ABCG2 polymorphisms. Polymorphisms of SLC29A1, responsible for cytarabine uptake, demonstrated significant associations with survival and response in Asian populations. Promising results were observed with SLC and ABC combinations regarding anthracycline toxicities. Knowledge of the role of transporter pharmacogenetics could explain the differences observed in drug disposition in the blast. Further studies including novel targeted therapies should be performed to determine the influence of genetic variability to individualize chemotherapy schemes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish a patient-specific polygenic score derived from cytarabine (ara-C) pathway pharmacogenomic evaluation to personalize acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ara-C-pathway genes were analyzed with outcome in patients from the multicenter-AML02 trial (N = 166). Multi-SNP predictor modeling was used to develop 10-SNP Ara-C_SNP score (ACS10) using top SNPs predictive of minimal residual disease and event-free survival (EFS) from the AML02-cohort and four SNPs previously associated with ara-C triphosphate levels in the AML97 trial. ACS10 was evaluated for association with outcomes in each clinical trial arms: the standard low-dose ara-C (LDAC, n = 91) and augmented high-dose ara-C (HDAC, n = 75) arms of AML02 and the standard Ara-C, daunorubicin and etoposide (ADE) (n = 465) and the augmented ADE + gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO; n = 466) arms of AAML0531 trial. RESULTS In the standard LDAC-arm of AML02 cohort, the low-ACS10 score group (≤ 0) had significantly worse EFS (ACS10 low v high hazard ratio [HR] = 2.81; 95% CI, 1.45 to 5.43; P = .002) and overall survival (OS; HR = 2.98; 95% CI, 1.32 to 6.75; P = .009) compared with the high-ACS10 group (score > 0). These results were validated in the standard-ADE arm of AAML0531, with poor outcome in the low-ASC10 group compared with the high-ACS10 group (EFS: HR = 1.35, 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.75, P = .026; OS: HR = 1.64, 95% CI, 1.2 to 2.22, P = .002). Within the augmented arms (AML02-HDAC and AAML0531-ADE + GO), EFS and OS did not differ between low- and high-ACS10 score groups. In both cohorts, patients with low-ACS10 consistently showed a 10-percentage point improvement in 5-year EFS with augmented therapy (AML02-HDAC or AAML0531-ADE + GO arms) than with standard therapy (AML02-LDAC or AAML0531-ADE arms). CONCLUSION Patients with low-ACS10 score experienced significantly poor outcome when treated on standard regimen. Augmentation with either high-dose ara-C or GO addition improved outcome in low-ACS10 group. A polygenic ACS10 score can identify patients with unfavorable pharmacogenetic characteristics and offers a potential for an elective augmented therapy option.

Abstract
Anthracycline uptake could be affected by influx and efflux transporters in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Combinations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of wild-type genotype of influx transporters (SLC22A16, SLCO1B1) and homozygous variant genotypes of ABC polymorphisms (ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCG2) were evaluated in 225 adult de novo AML patients. No differences in complete remission were reported, but higher induction death was observed with combinations of SLCO1B1 rs4149056 and ABCB1 (triple variant haplotype, rs1128503), previously associated with ABCB1 and SLCO1B1 SNPs. Several combinations of SLCO1B1 and SLC22A16 with ABCB1 SNPs were associated with higher toxicities, including nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, neutropenia, previously related to ABCB1, and a novel correlation with mucositis. Combination of SLC22A16 rs714368 and ABCG2 rs2231142 was related to cardiac toxicity, reproducing previous correlations with ABCG2. This study shows the impact of transporter polymorphisms in AML chemotherapy safety. Further prospective studies with larger populations are needed to validate these associations.

Abstract
Cellular uptake of clinically important deoxynucleoside analogs is mediated by nucleoside transporters including the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) and the concentrative nucleoside transporter-1 (hCNT1). These transporters are responsible for influx of cytarabine and reduced hENT1 expression is a major resistance mechanism in acute myeloid leukemia. We determined hENT1 and hCNT1 protein expression by immunocytochemistry in 50 diagnostic pediatric acute myeloid leukemia patient samples. All samples expressed hENT1 [9/43 (21%) low; 26/43 (60%) medium and 8/43 (19%) high] and hCNT1 [2/42 (5%) low; 35/42 (83%) medium and 5/42 (12%) high] at the cell membrane and cytoplasm. Statistical analysis showed a non-significant relationship between survival and transporter expression and in vitro drug sensitivity. In conclusion, the nucleoside transporters hENT1 and hCNT1 are broadly expressed in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia at diagnosis.

Abstract
AIM Cytarabine (Ara-C), a mainstay of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment, is a prodrug requiring activation to ara-CTP for its antileukemic activity. Aim of this study was to evaluate impact of genetic variants in the key genes involved in ara-C metabolism on the leukemic cell intracellular levels of ara-CTP. METHOD We investigated SNPs in 14 ara-C metabolic-pathway genes, for association with intracellular ara-CTP levels, in leukemic cells obtained post-initiation of cytarabine infusion in pediatric AML patients (n = 68). RESULTS Nine SNPs were significantly associated with leukemic cell intracellular concentration of ara-CTP. A comprehensive ara-CTP-SNP-score (ACSS) was further developed from top four SNPs identified in regression model. Patients were classified into three groups based on ACSS: high-ACSS (score >0), intermediate-ACSS (score = 0) and low-ACSS (score <0). ACSS designation was significant predictor of intracellular ara-CTP levels (p = 0.00012), suggesting a cumulative or synergistic effect of the significant SNPs. CONCLUSION ACSS score designation holds promise in definfing ara-C dose. Validation of the clinical utility of ACSS score in other independent cohorts will help identification of patients with potentially lower or higher levels of the ara-CTP in leukemic cells, thereby opening up opportunities for dose management to reduce toxicity and enhance efficacy.

Abstract
Background Gene polymorphisms at microRNA-binding sites (poly-miRTS) may affect gene transcription and expression through miRNA regulation, which is associated with cancer susceptibility, sensitivity to chemotherapy and prognosis. This study investigated the association between poly-miRTS of Ara-C/anthracycline metabolic pathways genes and the outcome of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in Chinese patients after Ara-C-based chemotherapy. Methods A total of 17 poly-miRTS were selected from the SNPinfo Web Server and genotyped in 206 Chinese Han non-FAB-M3 AML patients using the SEQUENOM Mass-ARRAY system. Results Among these 17 poly-miRTS, five Ara-C metabolic gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, NT5C2 rs10786736 and rs8139, SLC29A1 rs3734703, DCTD rs7278, and RRM1 rs1042919) were identified to significantly associate with complete AML remission and/or overall and relapse-free survival (OS and RFS, respectively), and four anthracycline-metabolic gene SNPs (ABCC1 rs3743527, rs212091, and rs212090 and CBR1 rs9024) were significantly associated with chemotherapy-related toxicities. Moreover, SLC29A1 rs3734703 was shown to associate with both chemotherapy response and survival (adjusted OR 2.561 in the overdominant model; adjusted HR 2.876 for OS and 2.357 for RFS in the dominant model). Conclusions The data from the current study demonstrated that the poly-miRTS of Ara-C/anthracyclines metabolic genes predicted the sensitivity and side effects of AML to Ara-C-based chemotherapy and patient survival. Further study will confirm them as biomarkers for AML patients after Ara-C-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cytarabine is considered the most effective chemotherapeutic option in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The impact of 10 polymorphisms in cytarabine metabolic pathway genes were evaluated in 225 adult de novo AML patients. Variant alleles of DCK rs2306744 and CDA rs602950 showed higher complete remission (p = .024, p = .045), with lower survival rates for variant alleles of CDA rs2072671 (p = .015, p = .045, p = .032), rs3215400 (p = .033) and wild-type genotype of rs602950 (p = .039, .014). Induction death (p = .033) and lower survival rates (p = .021, p = .047) were correlated to RRM1 rs9937 variant allele. In addition, variant alleles of CDA rs532545 and rs602950 were related to skin toxicity (p = .031, p = .049) and mucositis to DCK rs2306744 minor allele (p = .046). Other toxicities associated to variant alleles were hepatotoxicity to NT5C2 rs11598702 (p = .032), lung toxicity (p = .031) and thrombocytopenia to DCK rs4694362 (p = .046). This study supports the interest of cytarabine pathway polymorphisms regarding efficacy and toxicity of AML therapy in a coherent integrated manner.

Abstract
AIM DCK is a rate-limiting enzyme in cytarabine activation. rs4643786 and rs67437265 (P122S) variants are reported to affect DCK activity. PATIENTS & METHODS A total of 282 newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients were treated with cytarabine combined chemotherapy and genotyped for rs4643786 and rs67437265. Prognosis data were obtained through regular follow-up. DCK mRNA expression was detected in pretreatment blood or bone marrow mononuclear cells. RESULTS rs4643786 showed strong linkage disequilibrium with rs67437265. rs4643786 CT heterozygotes showed significantly higher complete remission rate (p = 0.028), superior overall survival (p = 0.006) and relapse-free survival (p = 0.020) than wild-type TT homozygotes. rs4643786 polymorphism was an independent predictor for AML prognosis. CONCLUSION DCK rs4643786 may serve as an independent predictor of drug response and AML outcome.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous malignancy that is primarily treated with combinations of cytarabine and anthracyclines. Although this scheme remains effective in most of the patients, variability of outcomes in patients has been partly related with their genetic variability. Several pharmacogenetic studies have analyzed the impact of polymorphisms in genes encoding transporters, metabolizers or molecular targets of chemotherapy agents. A systematic review on all eligible studies was carried out in order to estimate the effect of polymorphisms of anthracyclines and cytarabine pathways on efficacy and toxicity of AML treatment. Other emerging genes recently studied in AML, such as DNA repair genes, genes potentially related to chemotherapy response or AML prognosis, have also been included.

Prognostic Significance of Monosomal Karyotype in Adult Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treated With Risk-Adapted Protocols. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2015; 15:790-6. [PMID: 26482108 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2015.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2015] [Revised: 09/01/2015] [Accepted: 09/11/2015] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The monosomal karyotype (MK) is a well-known adverse prognostic factor and has been found to be related to poor outcome in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the outcome in MK-positive AML patients undergoing different therapies has not been well investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical and laboratory features in 225 MK-positive AML patients. Clinical outcome of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was evaluated in patients according to age group and in patients who received different therapy protocols. RESULTS The proportion of MK-positive patients increased along with age. Also, patients who were treated with high-dose cytarabine (HD-Ara-C) as consolidation therapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) demonstrated longer OS and DFS compared to allo-HSCT or HD-Ara-C alone. Patients treated with allo-HSCT alone exhibited longer DFS compared to patients treated with HD-Ara-C alone. No difference in OS was discovered between these 2 single protocols. CONCLUSION MK was associated with a lower complete remission rate. HD-Ara-C therapy followed by allo-HSCT could improve the prognosis of MK-positive AML patients.
