bosutinib nirogacestat

Applies to: Bosulif (bosutinib) and nirogacestat

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of bosutinib, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme and efflux transporter. In 24 healthy volunteers, administration of a single 100 mg dose of bosutinib with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg/day for 5 days) under fasting conditions resulted in a 5.2-fold increase in bosutinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 8.6-fold increase in systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration of bosutinib alone. Ketoconazole also decreased the mean apparent clearance of bosutinib by approximately 9-fold and increased the mean terminal half-life from 46.2 hours to 69.0 hours. No data are available for use with less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or P-gp inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when bosutinib is used with CYP450 3A4 or P-gp inhibitors. Patients should be monitored more closely for development of adverse effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, and fluid retention (e.g., pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, peripheral edema).

Drug and food interactions

Major

nirogacestat food

Applies to: nirogacestat

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and starfruit may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of nirogacestat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in these fruits. Coadministration of multiple doses of nirogacestat (150 mg twice daily) with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors erythromycin and fluconazole are predicted to increase the AUC of nirogacestat by 2.73-fold and 3.18-fold, respectively. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit, Seville oranges, or starfruit. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased systemic exposure to nirogacestat may increase the risk of adverse effects including diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, hepatotoxicity, electrolyte abnormalities, and non-melanoma skin cancers.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nirogacestat should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, starfruit, or any supplement containing grapefruit.

bosutinib food

Applies to: Bosulif (bosutinib)

Bosutinib should be taken with a meal to help with its absorption. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with bosutinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of bosutinib. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, liver damage, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells, which can increase the risk of anemia, bleeding problems, and infections. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
