To determine whether MDR1 reversal by the addition of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor PSC-833 to standard induction chemotherapy would improve event-free survival (EFS), 419 untreated patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) aged 60 years and older were randomized to receive 2 induction cycles of daunorubicin and cytarabine with or without PSC-833. Patients in complete remission (CR) were then given one consolidation cycle without PSC-833. Neither CR rate (54% versus 48%, P = .22), 5-year EFS (7% versus 8%, P = .53) nor disease-free survival (DFS, 13% versus 17%, P = .06) and overall survival (OS, 10% in both arms, P = .52) were significantly improved in the PSC-833 arm. An integrated P-gp score (IPS) was determined, based on P-gp function and P-gp expression in AML cells obtained prior to treatment. A higher IPS was associated with a significantly lower CR rate and worse EFS and OS. There was no significant interaction between IPS and treatment arm with respect to CR rate and survival, indicating also a lack of benefit of PSC-833 in P-gp positive patients. The role of strategies aimed at inhibitory P-gp and other drug resistance mechanisms continues to be defined in the treatment of patients with AML.
