- Welireg (belzutifan)
Interactions between your drugs
cabozantinib belzutifan
Applies to: Cabometyx (cabozantinib) and Welireg (belzutifan)
MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of cabozantinib, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. In healthy subjects, administration of the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin (600 mg daily for 31 days) decreased single-dose cabozantinib plasma exposure (AUC) by 77%. The extent to which other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may interact with cabozantinib is unknown.
MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of cabozantinib should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions
cabozantinib food
Applies to: Cabometyx (cabozantinib)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may alter the oral bioavailability of cabozantinib. When healthy subjects were given a single 140 mg oral dose with a high-fat meal, cabozantinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 41% and 57%, respectively, relative to administration under fasting conditions. In clinical studies, patients were administered cabozantinib without food.
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice is likely to increase the plasma concentrations of cabozantinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, the interaction has not been studied. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.
MANAGEMENT: Cabozantinib should be administered at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. The consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit extract should be avoided.
