First Case

Our objective is to describe a chronic myeloid leukemia patient with a severe liver toxicity likely due to a drug–drug interaction between imatinib and sertraline. The patient started treatment with sertraline three months after starting imatinib. From the beginning of sertraline treatment, the patient developed vomiting, and five weeks later she developed a severe hepatic failure and was admitted to the hospital. The Naranjo nomogram showed a probable correlation between this adverse effect and the interaction between imatinib and sertraline. This interaction is extremely rare and the mechanism of action is not clear; it could be a mix of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. To our knowledge, this is the first case in medical literature of a severe liver toxicity due to an interaction between imatinib and sertraline. This interaction is also not described in the main secondary data sources, such as Lexicomp® and Micromedex®. However, due to the severity of this event, the hepatic function should be carefully monitored in patients treated with imatinib and sertraline.
