Nilotinib may be linked to CAEs in Japanese patients; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
What are the risks, time to onset, and outcomes of cardiac adverse events associated with nilotinib in Japanese patients?
Nilotinib is associated with significant cardiac adverse events in Japanese patients, most commonly QT prolongation, but also potentially fatal events like myocardial infarction and cardiac tamponade, necessitating long-term monitoring.
Kanbayashi et al. (2023) studied this question.
