indinavir ⇔ lapatinib
Applies to: Crixivan (indinavir) and Tykerb (lapatinib)
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of lapatinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In healthy subjects, administration of lapatinib in combination with the CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 7 days) resulted in lapatinib systemic exposure (AUC) and half-life that were approximately 3.6- and 1.7-fold, respectively, of the control values.
MANAGEMENT: The use of lapatinib in combination with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole, nefazodone, delavirdine, protease inhibitors, and ketolide and certain macrolide antibiotics should generally be avoided. If concomitant use is unavoidable, the manufacturer recommends reducing the lapatinib dosage to 500 mg once a day. Based on pharmacokinetic studies, this dosage is predicted to adjust the lapatinib systemic exposure (AUC) to the range observed without inhibitors. However, clinical data are lacking. Following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, a washout period of approximately one week should be allowed before the lapatinib dosage is adjusted upward to the indicated dosage (i.e., 1250 mg once a day).
