ivabradine ivosidenib

Applies to: ivabradine and ivosidenib

GENERALLY AVOID: Due to its bradycardic effects, the risk of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes arrhythmia may be increased when ivabradine is used with drugs that prolong the QT interval. In clinical studies in adult patients, the rate of bradycardia was 6.0% versus 1.3% per patient-year for ivabradine compared to placebo. Asymptomatic and symptomatic bradycardia were observed in 6.8% and 4.1% of the pediatric patients treated with ivabradine compared to 2.4% and 0% in the placebo treatment group, respectively. At recommended dosages of ivabradine, heart rate reduction is approximately 10 beats per minute at rest and during exercise. In general, the risk of an individual agent or a combination of agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors such as congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia). In addition, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation is dependent on the particular drug(s) involved and dosage(s) of the drug(s).

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of ivabradine with drugs that can prolong the QT interval should generally be avoided. Caution and cardiac monitoring are recommended if concomitant use is required. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.

Drug and food interactions

Major

ivabradine food

Applies to: ivabradine

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of ivabradine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. According to the product labeling, administration with grapefruit juice (quantity unknown) resulted in an approximately twofold increase in ivabradine systemic exposure (AUC). Elevated plasma levels of ivabradine may increase the risk of excessive bradycardia and conduction disturbances.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food delays the absorption of ivabradine by approximately 1 hour and increases plasma exposure by 20% to 40% compared to fasting conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ivabradine should avoid or limit consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice. The manufacturer recommends taking ivabradine with meals to reduce variability in exposure.

ivosidenib food

Applies to: ivosidenib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ivosidenib. 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. Pharmacokinetic data are available for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole, and the moderate inhibitor, fluconazole. When a single 250 mg dose of ivosidenib was administered with itraconazole 200 mg once daily for 18 days, ivosidenib systemic exposure (AUC) increased to 269% of control, with no change in peak plasma concentration (Cmax). Based on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, coadministration of a 500 mg dose of ivosidenib with fluconazole (dosed to steady-state) is predicted to increase ivosidenib single-dose AUC to 173% of control, while multiple-dosing of both is predicted to increase ivosidenib steady-state Cmax and AUC to 152% and 190% of control, 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 ivosidenib may increase the risk of QT interval prolongation, which has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with a high-fat meal may increase the plasma concentrations of ivosidenib. According to the product labeling, administration of a single dose with a high-fat meal (approximately 900 to 1000 calories; 500 to 600 calories in fat, 250 calories in carbohydrate, 150 calories in protein) increased ivosidenib Cmax and AUC by 98% and 25%, respectively, in healthy study subjects.

MANAGEMENT: Ivosidenib may be administered with or without food, but should not be administered with a high-fat meal. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with ivosidenib.

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.
