Abstract excerpt
Nilotinib potently inhibits human uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) activity, causing hyperbilirubinemia. We investigated the influence of UGT1A1 polymorphisms and nilotinib plasma trough concentrations (C0) on nilotinib-induced hyperbilirubinemia in 34 Japanese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The proportion of patients with hyperbilirubinemia was significantly higher among...
