Drug Interactions between ivosidenib and lurbinectedin

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.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and Seville oranges may increase the plasma concentrations of lurbinectedin. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit and Seville oranges. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit or Seville oranges, but pharmacokinetic data are available for potent and moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. In a clinical drug interaction study, coadministration of itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased the systemic exposure (AUC) of total lurbinectedin by 2.7-fold and unbound lurbinectedin by 2.4-fold. In a Phase 1 study, coadministration of aprepitant, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, decreased lurbinectedin plasma clearance by 33% compared to lurbinectedin alone. In general, the effect of grapefruit and Seville oranges is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice and Seville oranges (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 may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of lurbinectedin, such as myelosuppression and hepatotoxicity.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and Seville oranges during treatment with lurbinectedin.
