What is Imatinib used for?
Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used primarily in hematologic and gastrointestinal malignancies that involve BCR‑ABL or KIT signaling.
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML): achieves inhibition of leukemic cell proliferation and disease control. - Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST): achieves reduction of tumor growth and disease stabilization. - Philadelphia chromosome‑positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL): provides disease remission in eligible patients.
What are the side effects of Imatinib?
Adverse reactions may occur with imatinib therapy.
Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Fluid retention or peripheral edema - Muscle cramps or spasms - Fatigue
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe neutropenia or other cytopenias - Hepatotoxicity with elevated transaminases - Cardiac failure or reduced left‑ventricular ejection fraction
What precautions apply to Imatinib?
Patients receiving imatinib should be monitored for safety and efficacy.
- Monitor blood counts: perform regular CBC to detect cytopenias. - Assess liver function: check transaminases before and during therapy. - Evaluate cardiac status: watch for signs of heart failure. - Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to imatinib. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in the original pack, protect from moisture.
What does Imatinib interact with?
Imatinib may interact with several concomitant medicines.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) may increase imatinib exposure. - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin) may reduce imatinib efficacy. - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may decrease absorption.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may increase INR; monitor coagulation parameters. - Cytarabine: potential additive myelosuppression. - Live vaccines: may be less effective; consider timing of vaccination.
