Adaptive imatinib regimens can mitigate cumulative toxicity while sustaining hemodynamic benefit: A model‐based simulation of the positioning imatinib for pulmonary arterial hypertension trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Imatinib improves hemodynamics in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but dose‐dependent toxicity has limited its clinical development. We aimed to quantify the dose–efficacy–toxicity relationship and evaluate alternative dosing strategies using data from the PIPAH trial.
