Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) is a phase 2 drug metabolism enzyme involved in the metabolism and detoxification of a range of chemotherapeutic agents. A single nucleotide polymorphism (Ile105Val) results in a variant enzyme with lower thermal stability and altered catalytic activity. We hypothesized that patients with the less stable variant have a decreased ability to detoxify chemotherapeutic substrates, including melphalan, and have an altered outcome following treatment for multiple myeloma. We have assessed the impact of GSTP1 codon 105 polymorphisms in 222 patients entered into the Medical Research Council (MRC) myeloma VII trial (comparing standard-dose chemotherapy with high-dose therapy). In the standard-dose arm, patients with the variant allele (105Val) had an improved progression-free survival (PFS) (adjusted hazard ratios for PFS were 0.55 for heterozygotes and 0.52 for 105Val homozygotes, compared with 105Ile homozygotes; P for trend = .04); this was supported by a trend to improved overall survival, greater likelihood of entering plateau and shorter time to reach plateau in patients with the 105Val allele. No difference in outcome by genotype was found for patients treated with high-dose therapy. However, the progression-free survival advantage of the high-dose arm was seen only in patients homozygous for 105Ile (P = .008). (Blood. 2003;102:2345-2350)
