Drug-Drug:
- CYP3A4 inhibitors, including clarithromycin, conivaptan, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lopinavir/ritonavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, posaconazole, ritonavir, and voriconazole, may ↑ levels and risk of toxicity; avoid concurrent use.
- CYP3A4 inducers, including carbamazepine, phenytoin, and rifampin, may ↓ levels and effectiveness; avoid concurrent use.
- Drugs that ↑ gastric pH, including proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, and antacids, may ↓ levels and effectiveness; avoid concurrent use.

Drug-Food:
Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- PO (Adults): 30 mg once daily. ↓ to 15 mg once daily on achievement of minimum residual disease-negative (0.01% BCR::ABL1/ABL1) complete remission at the end of induction. Continue in combination with chemotherapy for up to 20 cycles until loss of response or unacceptable toxicity. Concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitor: If current dose 30 mg once daily, ↓ to 15 mg once daily. If current dose 15 mg once daily, ↓ to 10 mg once daily. If current dose 10 mg once daily, avoid concurrent use.
Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia for Whom No Other Kinase Inhibitors Are Indicated or T315I-Positive Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- PO (Adults): 45 mg once daily. Continue until loss of response or unacceptable toxicity. Consider discontinuing therapy if hematologic response has not occurred within 3 mo. Concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitor: If current dose 45 mg once daily, ↓ to 30 mg once daily. If current dose 30 mg once daily, ↓ to 15 mg once daily. If current dose 15 mg once daily, ↓ to 10 mg once daily. If current dose 10 mg once daily, avoid concurrent use.
Hepatic Impairment
- PO (Adults): Mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment: If current dose 45 mg once daily, ↓ to 30 mg once daily.
Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
- PO (Adults): 45 mg once daily; ↓ to 15 mg once daily on achievement of 1% BCR::ABL1I. If loss of response occurs, may then ↑ to 30 mg once daily or 45 mg once daily. Continue until loss of response at re-escalated dose or unacceptable toxicity. Consider discontinuing therapy if hematologic response has not occurred within 3 mo. Concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitor: If current dose 45 mg once daily, ↓ to 30 mg once daily. If current dose 30 mg once daily, ↓ to 15 mg once daily. If current dose 15 mg once daily, ↓ to 10 mg once daily. If current dose 10 mg once daily, avoid concurrent use.

- PO (Adults): Mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment: If current dose 45 mg once daily, ↓ to 30 mg once daily.
Acute Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or Blast Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
- PO (Adults): 45 mg once daily. In patients with acute phase CML, consider ↓ dose on achievement of major cytogenetic response. Continue until loss of response or unacceptable toxicity. Consider discontinuing therapy if hematologic response has not occurred within 3 mo. Concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitor: If current dose 45 mg once daily, ↓ to 30 mg once daily. If current dose 30 mg once daily, ↓ to 15 mg once daily. If current dose 15 mg once daily, ↓ to 10 mg once daily. If current dose 10 mg once daily, avoid concurrent use.
