FDA和該(gai)公司對此標簽的改變,是因為(wei)自然醫學(Nature Medicine)期刊今年稍早的一篇報導,提到此藥在10位(wei)慢性(xing)骨髓性(xing)白血(xue)病患之心臟毒性(xing)副作用的研(yan)究。

Novartis,FDA Revise Imatinib Label to Reflect Cardiotoxicity Risk
By
Medscape Medical News
October19,2006— Novartis and the US Food and Drug Administration(FDA)have sent a letter to healthcare professionals to clarify the risk of severe congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction in patients taking the leukemia drug imatinib(Gleevec,Glivec)and to update them on changes to the drug label.The letter concludes that anyone with known heart disease or risk factors for heart failure should be monitored carefully and treated if heart failure symptoms arise.
The move on the part of the agency and drug maker comes after a study appeared in Nature Medicine earlier this year reporting cardiotoxic side effects of the drug in10patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
"We are writing to provide you information regarding Gleevec and an article published online in Nature Medicine,which recently received media coverage," the letter reads.In it,John Hohneker,MD,vice president,US clinical development and medical affairs in the oncology division at Novartis,notes that supplemental data available on the Nature Medicine Web site indicates that all of the patients who suffered cardiotoxic side effects from the drug had NYHA class1functioning and normal left ventricular ejection fractions."Most of these patients had preexisting conditions,including hypertension,diabetes,and coronary artery disease," Hohneker notes.
Since the publication of the Nature Medicine study,Novartis has reviewed all available data from clinical trials and other reports,the letter notes.It concludes:"While cardiac events remain uncommon,severe congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction have occasionally been reported.As such we believe any patients with known cardiac disease or risk factors for cardiac failure should be monitored carefully,and any patient with symptoms consistent with cardiac failure should be evaluated and treated."
The precautions section of the label have been modified to include this recommendation,the letter notes.The information also appears on the FDA's MedWatch Web site.
