PG - 370-4 LID - 10.1111/j.1365-2125.2009.03466.x [doi] AB - AIMS: Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec/Glivec), which has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemias (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), has been reported to cause gastric upset. Consequently, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are frequently co-administered with imatinib. Because PPI can elevate gastric pH and delay gastric emptying or antagonize ATP-binding-cassette transporters, they could influence imatinib absorption and pharmacokinetics. We aimed to evaluate whether use of omeprazole has a significant effect on imatinib pharmacokinetics. METHODS: Twelve healthy subjects were enrolled in a two-period, open-label, single-institution, randomized cross-over, fixed-schedule study. In one period, each subject received 400 mg imatinib orally. In the other period, 40 mg omeprazole (Prilosec) was administered orally for 5 days, and on day 5 it was administered 15 min before 400 mg imatinib. Plasma concentrations of imatinib and its active N-desmethyl metabolite CGP74588 were assayed by LC-MS, and data were analyzed non-compartmentally. RESULTS: PPI administration did not significantly affect the imatinib area under the plasma concentration vs time curve (AUC) (34.1 microg ml(-1) h alone vs 33.1 microg ml(-1) h with omeprazole, P= 0.64; 80% power), maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) (2.04 microg ml(-1) alone vs 2.02 microg ml(-1) with omeprazole, P= 0.97), or half-life (13.4 h alone vs 14.1 h with omeprazole, P= 0.13). CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the use of omeprazole does not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of imatinib, as opposed to, for example, dasatinib where PPI decreased AUC and C(max) two-fold.
