Current treatment selection for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients depends on risk stratification based on cytogenetic and genomic markers. However, the forecasting accuracy of treatment response remains modest, with most patients receiving intensive chemotherapy. Recently, ex vivo drug screening has gained traction in personalized treatment selection and as a tool for mapping patient groups based on relevant cancer dependencies. Here, we systematically evaluated the use of drug sensitivity profiling for predicting patient survival and clinical response to chemotherapy in a cohort of AML patients. We compared computational methodologies for scoring drug efficacy and characterized tools to counter noise and batch-related confounders pervasive in high-throughput drug testing. We show that ex vivo drug sensitivity profiling is a robust and versatile approach to patient prognostics that comprehensively maps functional signatures of treatment response and disease progression. In conclusion, ex vivo drug profiling can assess risk for individual AML patients and may guide clinical decision-making.
