ABSTRACT
The use of imatinib in the treatment of BCR-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors has significantly improved survival outcomes in patients afflicted by these malignancies. However, a substantial proportion of imatinib-treated patients still experience treatment failure. Suboptimal concentrations of imatinib have been postulated to contribute at least partially to the development of resistance against imatinib. Indeed, variations in the genes encoding drug transporters have been reported to markedly influence imatinib disposition and treatment outcomes in various populations. This review aims to consolidate and critically assess the studies conducted to date which have investigated the influence of pharmacogenetic variants in drug transporters on the disposition of imatinib and treatment outcomes in Asians and other populations.
