Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

bedaquiline capivasertib

Applies to: Sirturo (bedaquiline) and capivasertib

MONITOR: Coadministration with capivasertib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 via inhibition of the isoenzyme. Based on clinical studies and model-informed approaches, concomitant use of capivasertib and midazolam, a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, increased midazolam systemic exposure (AUC) by 1.8-fold on day 4 and by 1.2-fold on day 7 of capivasertib treatment.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if capivasertib is coadministered with CYP450 3A4 substrates, particularly sensitive substrates, or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever capivasertib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications may be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Major

capivasertib food

Applies to: capivasertib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of capivasertib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been studied with other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Based on clinical studies and model-informed approaches, concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor itraconazole is predicted to increase capivasertib systemic exposure (AUC) by up to 1.7-fold and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by up to 1.4-fold. Coadministration with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors erythromycin and verapamil is predicted to increase the AUC and Cmax of capivasertib by up to 1.5-fold 1.3-fold, respectively. 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 exposure to capivasertib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as diarrhea, cutaneous adverse reactions, decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, hyperglycemia, nausea, and fatigue.

MANAGEMENT: It may be advisable for patients to avoid the consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or supplements that contain grapefruit during treatment with capivasertib.

Moderate

bedaquiline food

Applies to: Sirturo (bedaquiline)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of bedaquiline. When administered with a standard meal containing approximately 22 grams of fat (558 total Kcal), the relative bioavailability of bedaquiline increased by approximately 2-fold compared to administration under fasted conditions.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with alcohol may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of bedaquiline. In clinical trials, hepatic adverse drug reactions developed in more bedaquiline-treated patients than in those who received other drugs used to treat tuberculosis. In patients receiving bedaquiline or placebo in combination with other drugs used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, reversible aminotransferase elevations of at least 3 times the upper limit of normal developed more frequently in the bedaquiline treatment group [10.8%] than in the placebo group [5.7%].

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, bedaquiline should be taken with food. Patients should avoid alcohol use during treatment.

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.
