Abstract
BACKGROUND Imatinib treatment for certain cancers can lead to elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels, potentially indicating muscle injury, and ongoing research aims to understand the correlation between imatinib levels and creatine kinase to assess its impact on treatment response. METHODS This single-center observational study involved 76 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients receiving imatinib treatment, focusing on evaluating drug and metabolite levels using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) instrumentation. Serum CK and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) levels were assessed using Colorimetric kits. RESULTS CK and CK-MB levels were measured, CK showed a median value of 211.5 IU/l and CK-MB showed a median value of 4.4 IU/l. Comparing low and high CK groups, significant differences were found in peak and trough plasma concentrations of imatinib and its metabolites. Correlations between CK levels and pharmacokinetic parameters were explored, with notable associations identified. Binary logistic regression revealed predictors influencing the therapeutic response to imatinib and categorized expected CK levels into high or low, with peak levels of imatinib emerging as a significant predictor for CK level categorization. CONCLUSION The study highlights the link between imatinib's pharmacokinetics and elevated CK levels, indicating a possible correlation between specific metabolites and improved treatment response. Individualized monitoring of CK levels and imatinib pharmacokinetics could enhance care for CML patients.

Development of a simultaneous quantification method of imatinib and sunitinib and their main metabolites and its application in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Biomed Chromatogr 2024; 38:e5804. [PMID: 38152034 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
Correlations between plasma concentrations of imatinib and sunitinib with efficacy and toxicity have been established. It is crucial to develop a sensitive and precise method for determining the plasma concentrations of imatinib and sunitinib, along with their active metabolites, to facilitate therapeutic drug monitoring and individualized therapy. Plasma samples were separated on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 chromatographic column using gradient elution. Quantification was performed using a mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring. The analysis time was 18 min per run, with all analytes and internal standards eluting within 8 min. The calibration range was 25-4000 ng/mL for imatinib, 5-800 ng/mL for N-desmethyl imatinib (CGP74588), and 2.5-400 ng/mL for sunitinib and N-desethyl sunitinib (SU12662). Intra- and inter-assay precision were both below 15%, and accuracy ranged between 90.0% and 101.9%. The method was successfully applied to determine blood samples from 120 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors who received imatinib (n = 115) and sunitinib (n = 5). It has been validated as linear, accurate, precise, and robust, making it suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring of imatinib and sunitinib in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM Patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) exhibiting an imatinib plasma trough concentration (IM Cmin) under 1100 ng/ml may show a reduced drug response rate, leading to the suggestion of monitoring for IM Cmin. Consequently, the objective of this research was to create a customized IM Cmin classification model for patients with advanced GISTs from China. METHODS Initial data and laboratory indicators from patients with advanced GISTs were gathered, and the above information was segmented into a training set, validation set, and testing set in a 6:2:2 ratio. Key variables associated with IM Cmin were identified to construct the classification model using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and forward stepwise binary logistic regression. Within the training and validation sets, nine ML classification models were constructed via the resampling method and underwent comparison through the Brier scores, the areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC), the decision curve, and the precision-recall (AUPR) curve to determine the most suitable model for this dataset. Two methods of internal validation were used to assess the most suitable model's classification performance: tenfold cross-validation and random split-sample validation (test set), and the value of the test set AUROC was used to evaluate the model's classification performance. RESULTS Six key variables (gender, daily IM dose, metastatic site, red blood cell count, platelet count, and percentage of neutrophils) were ultimately selected to construct the classification model. In the validation set, it is found by comparison that the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model has the largest AUROC, the lowest Brier score, the largest area under the decision curve, and the largest AUPR value. Furthermore, as evaluated via internal verification, it also performed well in the test set (AUROC = 0.725). CONCLUSION For patients with advanced GISTs who receive IM, initial data and laboratory indicators could be used to accurately estimate whether the IM Cmin is below 1100 ng/ml. The XGBoost model may stand a chance to assist clinicians in directing the administration of IM.

Abstract
Imatinib is the tyrosine kinase inhibitor of choice for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. However, imatinib has drawbacks such as drug resistance and significant differences in pharmacokinetics within patients. Therefore, a colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay (CG-IA) was developed for measuring and monitoring imatinib in human serum. An imatinib derivative containing carboxyl groups was used for the synthesis of the immunogen, and 4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinylmethyl) benzoic acid was selected as the hapten for the heterologous coating antigen. Next, a highly sensitive and specific monoclonal antibody (mAb), 2F7 was screened for the construction of a CG-IA, with an IC50 value of 0.091 ng/mL. For the qualification of imatinib in human serum, the visual limit of detection (vLOD) and cut-off values of the CG-IA were 2 and 20 ng/mL, respectively. For quantitative detection, the calculated LOD value of the CG-IA was 0.068 ng/mL, with a linearity range of 1.004 and 23.087 ng/mL. The recovery rate of spiked serum samples was between 88.24 % and 104.75 %. In addition, the concentration of imatinib in the serum samples from 10 patients was detected by CG-IA and revealed a good correlation with those from LC-MS/MS. These results indicated that the developed gold-based paper sensor could become an effective tool for the rapid monitoring of imatinib in human serum samples.

Abstract
Imatinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and first-line therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). There is a positive correlation between serum imatinib concentrations and treatment response. However, the specific relationship between the blood concentration of imatinib and its influencing factors remains unclear. This study collected basic information from 102 patients using imatinib as first-line treatment for CML. Further, we analyzed the individual differences in imatinib concentration and explored its influencing factors. Through intra-day and inter-day precision studies, we found that the precision for the imatinib assay methodology was within ±13% and that the recovery rate was above 85%. There is notable individual variation in the blood concentration of imatinib; the recommended treatment concentration is 860-1500 ng/mL, with only 41.40% of patients achieving this concentration. Also, there was a negative correlation between age and imatinib trough concentration (Ctrough ), as is observed between age and N-desmethyl imatinib. Moreover, compared with the adolescent group, the serum imatinib Ctrough for groups aged 17-47 and 48-68 years was significantly reduced. Further analysis shows that imatinib Ctrough values reaching therapeutic concentrations (59%) increased dramatically for patients with CML aged 17-47 years. Moreover, groups dosed with 400 mg/day resulted in therapeutic imatinib concentrations for 68% of patients with CML, which was the best performance. The established method was validated, with acceptable accuracy, precision, linearity, and stability, as required, and then successfully applied to the therapeutic drug monitoring of imatinib. Age, dose, and metabolites can influence the imatinib concentration and its therapeutic effect in patients with CML.

Abstract
Background:
Despite the beneficial effects of
BCR-ABL1
tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), they may also cause adverse events (AEs), especially cardiovascular toxicity. The incidence of TKI-induced AEs may vary among ethnic groups, and there is little specific information for Japanese patients. Methods and Results:
Sixty-nine consecutive patients who were started on treatment with dasatinib (n=25) or imatinib (n=44) for CML or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) between December 2008 and December 2019 were retrospectively recruited to the study. We determined the prevalence of AEs through October 2020 and compared the incidence of AEs between the 2 drugs. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the 2 groups. However, compared with the imatinib-treated group, the dasatinib-treated group had a higher incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF; 20.0% vs. 2.3%; P=0.04), pleural effusion (48% vs. 20.5%; P=0.03), pericardial effusion (24% vs. 4.6%; P=0.02), QT prolongation (4 vs. 0 patients; P=0.02), and pulmonary hypertension (3 vs. 0 patients; P=0.04). In the dasatinib-treated group, CHF tended to be associated with tricuspid valve regurgitation pressure gradient, and pleural effusion was observed in all patients. All-cause mortality and other cardiovascular events did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Conclusions:
Cardiotoxic AEs occurred more frequently in Japanese patients with CML and GIST treated with dasatinib than imatinib.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor, and surgical resection is the first choice for the treatment of the disease, but since the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib (IM), the prognosis of the disease has undergone revolutionary changes. According to the current version of the guidelines, most GIST patients receive a fixed dose without taking into account their own individual differences, resulting in a wide difference in blood concentration, adverse reactions and prognosis. With more studies on the relationship between blood drug concentrations and prognosis, the concept of individualized therapy has been paid more attention by researchers. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has also been made available for the research field of GIST targeted therapy. How to reduce the incidence of drug resistance and adverse reactions in patients with GISTs has become the focus of the current research. This article reviews the common monitoring methods and timing of TKIs blood concentration, the reasonable range of blood drug concentration, the toxic or adverse effects caused by high blood drug concentration, some possible factors affecting blood drug concentration and recent research progress, in order to discuss and summarize the treatment strategy of individual blood drug concentration, improve the prognosis of patients and reduce the adverse effects as much as possible.

Abstract
Imatinib mesylate (IM) is the standard treatment for advanced, metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with a fixed daily standard dosage via the oral route. Interindividual and intraindividual variability in plasma concentrations have been closely linked to the efficacy of IM therapy. Therefore, this review identifies and describes the key factors influencing the plasma concentration of IM in patients with GISTs and CML. We used the following keywords to search the PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, Wangfang, and CNKI databases to identify published reports: IM, plasma concentration, GISTs, CML, drug combination/interaction, pathology, and genotype/genetic polymorphism, either alone or in combination. This literature review revealed that only 10 countries have reported the mean concentrations of IM in GISTs or CML patients and the clinical outcomes in different ethnic groups and populations. There were totally 24 different gene polymorphisms, which were examined for any potential influence on the steady-state plasma concentration of IM. As a result, some genotype locus made discrepant conclusion. Herein, the more sample capacity, multicenter, long-term study was worthy to carry out. Eleven reports were enumerated on clinical drug interactions with IM, while there is not sufficient information on the pharmacokinetic parameters altered by drug combinations with IM that could help in investigating the actual drug interactions. The drug interaction with IM should be paid more attention in the future research.

Abstract
Purpose Although imatinib-induced hepatotoxicity may aggravate the patient’s clinical condition and alter the treatment plan, the underlying mechanism of and factors influencing imatinib-induced hepatotoxicity have rarely been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting on the incidence of hepatotoxicity within 90 days after starting imatinib treatment and time to onset of imatinib-induced hepatotoxicity. Materials and Methods We retrospectively evaluated the records of 177 patients receiving imatinib from October 2012 to September 2017. The analyzed factors included sex, age, body weight, body surface area, underlying disease, and concomitant drugs. Results The proportion of patients with hepatotoxicity within 90 days after imatinib administration was 33.9%. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increased the incidence of hepatotoxicity approximately 3.8-fold and doubled the hazard of time to reach hepatotoxicity. Patients with liver disease or hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers had a more than 8-fold higher risk of hepatotoxicity and a 5.2-fold increased hazard of hepatotoxicity compared to those without liver disease or HBV. Patients with body weight under 55 kg had a 2.2-fold higher risk for occurrence of hepatotoxicity. Patients with an imatinib dose > 400 mg had a 2.3-fold increased hazard of time to reach hepatotoxicity compared to those with an imatinib dose ≤ 400 mg. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that the use of PPIs and presence of liver disease or HBV were associated with imatinib-induced hepatotoxicity. Thus, close liver function monitoring is recommended, especially in patients with liver impairment or using PPIs.
