Drug-induced liver injury associated with savolitinib: a novel case report and causality assessment
To the best of our understanding, this is the initial instance of DILI resulting from the use of savolitinib as a standalone treatment in a real-world setting. During the administration of savolitinib, healthcare professionals should carefully consider the potential occurrence of DILI. Administering the patient with a small amount of savolitinib resulted in a remarkable response against the tumor, leading us to speculate that the effectiveness of savolitinib might be associated with its plasma concentration. Studying the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of savolitinib is beneficial for tailoring and accurately prescribing the medication to each individual.
