“…A possible concern in plasma analysis of TKIs is hemolysis. Several articles investigated the interference of hemolysis on matrix effect (ceritinib [22], dasatinib, sunitinib, imatinib, nilotinib, erlotinib, lapatinib, sorafenib, vandetanib [23]), precision and accuracy (sunitinib/N-desmethyl-sunitinib [24], lapatinib [25]), cross-talk, carry-over, and interference (imatinib [26,27]). They only tested spiking of either drug to hemolyzed plasma, hemolyzed blood to drug-containing plasma, or hemolytic blanks.…”
