Effects of bosutinib treatment on renal function in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias

We evaluated incidence of renal adverse events and estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias receiving first-line bosutinib (n=248) or imatinib (n=251), or second-line or later bosutinib (N=570). Results demonstrate that long-term bosutinib treatment is associated with an apparently reversible decline in renal function with frequency and characteristics similar to those observed with long-term imatinib.
