Influence of genetic single nucleotide
polymorphisms in CYP3A4, CYP3A5*3,
GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and MDR1 genes on
survival and treatment-related toxicity in
patients with Multiple Myeloma treated in the
HOVON 24 trial .

Presentation includes discussion of the following off-label use of a drug or

Multiple factors contributing to variations in drug responses

Goal of the study
· To analyse the effect of genetic polymorphisms of
relevant xenobiotic genes on the outcome of
response, toxicity and survival parameters in a
pospective phase III myeloma trial
· To identify whether subgroups of patients can be
recognized that may benefit from individual drug
dosing in future trials

Experimental approach
· Retrospective analysis of samples from HOVON 24
trial (single vs double intensive treatment in MM)
· RT-PCR or duplex PCR on BM or PB (germline)
samples
· Multivariate analysis of pharmacogenetic variables
· Multivariate analysis with clinical variables B2M and
Salmon Durie stage

Kaplan-Meier curves for Genotype Cyp3A5*3 (RFLP-PCR)
Inactivated CYP3A5*3 is associated with improved TTP,
EFS and OS

Conclusions (1)
· Pharmacogenomic analysis reveals that patients with
homozygous mutations
Cyp3A5*3 have a significantly
better overall survival and more toxicity
·
Cyp 3A4-V mutations are rare and do not have an
effect on survival outcome

Conclusions (2)
· Patients with
GSTP1 Val/Val homozygous mutations
have less toxicity and a lower response rate, and no
significant difference of survival
· No influence of
MDR1, GSTT1 or GSTM1 mutations
· Multivariate analyses of genetic polymorphisms in
validation trial ongoing
