Drug Interactions between capivasertib and Zytiga

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.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may significantly increase the oral bioavailability of some formulations of abiraterone acetate. Compared to administration in the fasted state, abiraterone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were approximately 7- and 5-fold higher, respectively, when a single dose of abiraterone acetate was administered with a low-fat meal (7% fat; 300 calories) and approximately 17- and 10-fold higher, respectively, when it was administered with a high-fat meal (57% fat; 825 calories). Given the normal variation in the content and composition of meals, taking abiraterone acetate with meals has the potential to result in increased and highly variable exposures. The safety of these increased exposures during multiple dosing has not been assessed. However, the abiraterone acetate 125 mg tablet, commonly marketed as Yonsa, was found to have an approximately 6.5-fold higher Cmax and 4.4-fold higher AUC when a single dose of 500 mg (4 tablets) was administered with a high-fat meal (56% - 60% fat, 900 - 1000 calories) compared to overnight fasting in healthy volunteers. These differences were not considered clinically significant for this formulation.

MANAGEMENT: Some formulations of abiraterone acetate must be taken on an empty stomach. No food should be consumed for at least two hours before and one hour after the abiraterone acetate dose. However, the abiraterone acetate 125 mg tablet, commonly marketed as Yonsa, can be taken with or without food. The manufacturer's product labeling should be consulted for specific guidance.
