Interactions between your drugs

Major

levoketoconazole futibatinib

Applies to: Recorlev (levoketoconazole) and futibatinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 that can also inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of futibatinib. Futibatinib is a substrate of both the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and P-gp efflux transporter. Drug interaction studies have shown that single dose administration of futibatinib with multiple doses of itraconazole, a combined potent P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased futibatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 51% and 41%, respectively, compared to futibatinib alone. Increased exposure to futibatinib may increase the risk and severity of adverse effects such as retinal pigment epithelial detachment, dry eye/corneal keratitis, pyrexia, hyperphosphatemia and soft tissue mineralization, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, fatigue, nail toxicity, urinary tract infection, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased liver function tests (ALT and AST), stomatitis, abdominal pain, ascites, bile duct obstruction, and musculoskeletal pain.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of futibatinib with dual P-gp and potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Major

futibatinib food

Applies to: futibatinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of futibatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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 futibatinib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as retinal pigment epithelial detachment, dry eye/corneal keratitis, pyrexia, hyperphosphatemia and soft tissue mineralization, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, fatigue, nail toxicity, urinary tract infection, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased liver function tests (ALT and AST), stomatitis, abdominal pain, ascites, bile duct obstruction, and musculoskeletal pain.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with futibatinib.

Moderate

levoketoconazole food

Applies to: Recorlev (levoketoconazole)

GENERALLY AVOID: Excessive use of alcohol or products containing alcohol together with ketoconazole or levoketoconazole may potentiate the risk of liver injury. Serious hepatotoxicity has been reported with levoketoconazole. Hepatotoxicity requiring liver transplantation has been reported with the use of oral ketoconazole, of which levoketoconazole is an enantiomer. Some patients had no obvious risk factors for liver disease. In addition, use of alcohol or products containing alcohol during ketoconazole or levoketoconazole therapy may result in a disulfiram-like reaction in some patients. Symptoms of disulfiram-like reaction include flushing, rash, peripheral edema, nausea, and headache.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ketoconazole or levoketoconazole. The mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

When administered to healthy volunteers with a high-fat meal (875 calories; 62% fat), levoketoconazole systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 30% while peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change and the time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was delayed from 2 to 4 hours, compared to fasted conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Levoketoconazole may be administered with or without food. Excessive consumption of alcohol should generally be avoided during ketoconazole or levoketoconazole therapy. Patients should preferably avoid or limit consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplement containing grapefruit extract during ketoconazole or levoketoconazole therapy. Patients receiving ketoconazole or levoketoconazole should be instructed to contact their doctor immediately if they experience swelling, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark colored urine, light colored stools, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage.

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.
