The use of ceritinib causes hyperglycemia. It is recommended to monitor fasting serum glucose prior to the start of therapy and periodically thereafter as clinically indicated. Initiate or optimize antihyperglycemic medications as clinically appropriate, and withhold therapy until hyperglycemia is adequately controlled, then resume at a reduced dose as clinically appropriate. If adequate hyperglycemic control cannot be achieved with optimal medical management, permanently discontinue treatment with ceritinib. Care should be exercised when using this agent in diabetic patients.
