Drug Interactions between CodiCLEAR DH and omaveloxolone

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate the central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of opioid analgesics including hydrocodone. Concomitant use may result in additive CNS depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills. In more severe cases, hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, or even death may occur.

GENERALLY AVOID: Consumption of alcohol while taking some sustained-release formulations of hydrocodone may cause rapid release of the drug, resulting in high systemic levels of hydrocodone that may be potentially lethal. Alcohol apparently can disrupt the release mechanism of some sustained-release formulations. In study subjects, the rate of absorption of hydrocodone from an extended-release formulation was found to be affected by coadministration with 40% alcohol in the fasted state, as demonstrated by an average 2.4-fold (up to 3.9-fold in one subject) increase in hydrocodone peak plasma concentration and a decrease in the time to peak concentration. Alcohol also increased the extent of absorption by an average of 1.2-fold (up to 1.7-fold in one subject).

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of hydrocodone. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of hydrocodone by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Increased hydrocodone concentrations could conceivably increase or prolong adverse drug effects and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression.

MANAGEMENT: Patients taking sustained-release formulations of hydrocodone should not consume alcohol or use medications that contain alcohol. In general, potent narcotics such as hydrocodone should not be combined with alcohol. Patients should also avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with hydrocodone.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of omaveloxolone, 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 reported for other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. When administered with itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, omaveloxolone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased 3-fold and 4-fold, respectively. When administered with verapamil, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, omaveloxolone Cmax and AUC increased approximately 1.25-fold each. 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 omaveloxolone may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as lipid abnormalities and increased aminotransferases and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP).

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may increase the oral bioavailability of omaveloxolone. Coadministration with a high-fat meal (800 to 1000 calories, with approximately 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrates, and fat, respectively) increased omaveloxolone Cmax and AUC by approximately 350% and 15%, respectively, compared to fasted conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Omaveloxolone should be administered on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before eating. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or supplements that contain grapefruit during treatment with omaveloxolone.
