Background and Objective: The adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) mediates terminal excretion of many chemotherapeutic agents, and variable ABCB1 activity may be an important contributor to interpatient variability, in the clearance of chemotherapeutic agents. Our objective was to determine the elimination constant (k(H)) for hepatic elimination of technetium Tc 99m-labeled sestamibi (Tc-99m-MIBI) in patients with cancer and to compare this putative indicator of ABCB1 phenotype with clinical features and common ABCB1 genetic variants. Methods: Tc-99m-MIBI k(H) was determined from the time-dependent elimination profile of Tc-99m-MIBI over a 90-minute hepatic scanning period in 66 patients with cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ABCB1 exons 12 (C1236T), 21 (G2677T/A), and 26 (C3435T) were documented by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results: There was a 12-fold variation in Tc-99m-MIBI k(H) across the cohort, which was not correlated with sex, age, conventional liver function test results, previous chemotherapy treatment. or history of liver metastasis. Mean Tc-99m-MIBI k(H) was significantly reduced in patients with SNPs in exons 21 and 26 such that mean Tc-99m-MIBI k(H) was 1.90 times (95% confidence interval, 1.14-2.66; P = .02) and 2.21 times (95% confidence interval, 1.47-2.97; P < .01) higher in subjects homozygous for the wild-type alleles than in those homozygous for these SNPs, respectively. Conclusion: Hepatic elimination of Tc-99m-MIBI is a potential in vivo probe of hepatic ABCB1 activity that is significantly associated with the presence of common SNPs in ABCB1. Tc-99m-MIBI hepatic scanning may provide a useful pretreatment indicator of ABCB1-mediated drug clearance in cancer patients.
