Abstract
Leukemic cells from 85 children with newly diagnosed precursor B-lineage ALL were tested for in vitro drug sensitivity to a panel of anti-cancer drugs. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was measured by RQ-PCR. There was a significant correlation between MRD day 29 and in vitro sensitivity to prednisolone (p < 0.001) and doxorubicin (p = 0.01 7), drugs administered during induction therapy. In patients with t(12;21) (n = 20), in vitro sensitivity to doxorubicin was an independent factor for MRD <0.1% (p = 0.031; R-2 = 0.66). Thus, data show that in vitro drug sensitivity at diagnosis is correlated to cell kill during induction therapy as measured by MRD day 29. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
