Deep single-cell multi-omic profiling of drug resistance in patients with relapsed or refractory (rr) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a promising approach to understand and identify the molecular and cellular determinants of drug resistance. Here, we address this challenge by integrating single-cell ex vivo drug profiling (pharmacoscopy) with both bulk and single-cell resolved DNA, RNA, and protein profiling, as well as clinical annotations across samples of a cohort of 21 rrAML patients. Unsupervised data integration revealed ex vivo response to the Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) to be significantly reduced in patients treated with the combination of a hypomethylating agent (HMA) and VEN compared to patients pre-exposed to HMA only, while also exposing innate Ven resistance in a subset of VEN-naive patients. Systematic molecular integration retrieved known and novel molecular mechanisms underlying VEN resistance and identified alternative therapeutic strategies in VEN resistant samples, including targeting increased proliferation by PLK inhibitor volasertib. Across data modalities, high CD36 expression on AML blasts was associated with VENres, while CD36-targeted antibody treatment ex vivo revealed striking sensitivity in VEN resistant AML. In summary, we showcase how single-cell multi-omic and functional profiling can facilitate the discovery of drug resistance mechanisms and emergent treatment vulnerabilities. Our dataset represents a comprehensive molecular and functional profiling of rrAML at single-cell resolution, providing a valuable resource for future studies.
