Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The validity of an in vitro clonogenic drug sensitivity assay to predict the induction and the duration of complete remission was evaluated in a group of 81 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia treated with chemotherapy including an anthracycline drug (daunorubicin or adriamycin) and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C). The inhibition of bone marrow clonogenic leukemic cells by in vitro exposure to anthracyclines 10(-5) and 10(-6) M, Ara-C 10(-5) M, and daunorubicin 10(-6) M + Ara-C 10(-7) M was significantly correlated with the achievement of a complete remission, but not with the duration of remission. A high second plating efficiency was correlated with short duration of complete remission, reflecting the poor prognosis of a high self-renewal capacity.
