A patient presents with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and treatment is planned with imatinib. The medical history suggests your patient used to be morbidly obese. She has undergone a gastric bypass a year ago, and currently has a normal BMI. Which of the following is correct? 1.If you could get a blood sample analyzed, you could confirm whether systemic exposure is similar to published values. 2.Because she has a normal size now, the normal dose of imatinib can be used. 3.You have no idea what the effect of her specific surgical procedures is on the absorption of imatinib. 4.Like most drugs, imatinib gets absorbed from the intestine, so a “gastric” bypass is not relevant for the absorption of imatinib. 5.A and C
