maraviroc tazemetostat

Applies to: maraviroc and tazemetostat

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and/or P-glycoprotein efflux transporter may decrease the plasma concentrations of maraviroc, which is a substrate of both. According to the product labeling, administration of maraviroc (100 mg twice a day) with the potent CYP450 3A4/P-glycoprotein inducer rifampin (600 mg once a day) reduced the mean maraviroc peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) by 66%, 63% and 78%, respectively, compared to administration alone. When the same dosage of maraviroc was administered with efavirenz (600 mg once a day), maraviroc Cmax, AUC, and Cmin decreased by approximately 50% each. In contrast, maraviroc Cmax increased by 25% and AUC increased by 153% during coadministration with efavirenz (600 mg once a day) plus the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors lopinavir/ritonavir (400 mg/100 mg twice a day). An even greater increase of 2.3-fold in Cmax and 5-fold in AUC was observed during coadministration of maraviroc (300 mg twice a day) and efavirenz plus saquinavir/ritonavir (1000 mg/100 mg twice a day).

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels, caution is advised if maraviroc is used with CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein inducers. A dosage adjustment for maraviroc may be necessary if an interaction is suspected. Some authorities recommend a dosage of 300 mg twice daily when administered concomitantly with rifabutin and tipranavir/ritonavir or fosamprenavir/ritonavir. However, if a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, delavirdine, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone, or any protease inhibitor (except tipranavir/ritonavir or fosamprenavir/ritonavir) is also used with the inducer, then maraviroc dosage should be reduced to 150 mg twice daily.

Drug and food interactions

Major

tazemetostat food

Applies to: tazemetostat

GENERALLY AVOID: Consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during tazemetostat therapy may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of tazemetostat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of the CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of tazemetostat by certain compounds in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). According to the product labeling, coadministration of tazemetostat (400 mg twice daily) with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor fluconazole increased the tazemetostat steady state exposure (AUC 0 to 8 hours) by 3.1-fold and peak plasma concentration by 2.3-fold. 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. Clinically, this interaction may result in an increased risk of the frequency or severity of adverse reactions due to tazemetostat such as hemorrhage, pleural effusion, skin infection, dyspnea, pain, and respiratory distress.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer advises that patients treated with tazemetostat should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

maraviroc food

Applies to: maraviroc

Administration with food may reduce the bioavailability of maraviroc. According to the product labeling, coadministration of a 300 mg dose of maraviroc with a high-fat breakfast reduced maraviroc peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 33% in healthy volunteers. However, no food restrictions were used in the clinical studies that demonstrated the safety and efficacy of maraviroc. Therefore, maraviroc can be taken with or without food at the recommended dosage.

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.
