Abstract

Objective: To analyze the correlation between plasma trough level of generic imatinib and its metabolism and clinical outcomes in Chinese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) . Methods: The 21 patients with CML-CP who enrolled in a clinical trial YMTN 1.0 from Oct 11(th), 2012 to May 8(th), 2013 and received generic imatinib were as study subjects. The correlation between steady plasma trough levels of imatinib and its metabolism with clinical response, age, weight and body surface area (BSA) were evaluated. Results: ①The mean steady plasma trough level of generic imatinib and its metabolism was (1 185.07±417.91) μg/L and (251.53±76.50) μg/L, respectively. ②Age, weight and BSA has no significant effects on plasma trough level of generic imatinib and its metabolism (P>0.05) . ③Patients with steady plasma trough level of generic imatinib more than 1 000 μg/L are possible to have higher major molecular response (MMR) /complete molecular response (CMR) rate than those below 1 000 μg/L (42% vs 0, P<0.05) . Conclusion: Plasma trough levels of generic imatinib varied in CML patients. The steady plasma trough levels of generic imatinib is maybe related to molecular response in CML patients.

目的: 评价我国慢性髓性白血病慢性期(CML-CP)患者接受国产伊马替尼(商品名:格尼可)治疗后伊马替尼及其代谢物血浆谷浓度水平与疗效的关系。 方法: 以2012年10月11日至2013年5月8日入组编号为YMTN1.0临床研究的21例接受国产伊马替尼治疗的CML-CP患者为研究对象,评价其血浆药物谷浓度与疗效、年龄、体重、体表面积的关系。伊马替尼及其代谢物浓度检测采用高效液相色谱-串联质谱法。 结果: ①伊马替尼及其代谢物血浆谷浓度分别为(1 185.07±417.91)μg/L和(251.53±76.50)μg/L。②伊马替尼及其代谢物血浆谷浓度与患者年龄、体重和体表面积均无明显相关性(P值均>0.05)。③伊马替尼稳态血浆谷浓度高于1 000 μg/L的患者其完全及主要分子学反应率显著高于未达1 000 μg/L的患者(42%对0,P<0.01)。 结论: 接受国产伊马替尼治疗的CML-CP患者中,伊马替尼及其代谢产物稳态血浆谷浓度存在较大个体差异,伊马替尼血浆谷浓度与患者获得分子学疗效有一定的相关性。.
