Moderate

QUEtiapine pexidartinib

Applies to: quetiapine and pexidartinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of quetiapine, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In 18 psychiatric patients receiving quetiapine 300 mg twice daily, addition of the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer carbamazepine (200 mg three times daily) decreased mean quetiapine peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 80% and 87%, respectively, and increased oral clearance (Cl/F) by 7.5-fold compared to quetiapine administered alone. The interaction has also been reported with phenytoin, another potent CYP450 3A4 inducer. In ten subjects with various affective disorders, coadministration of quetiapine (250 mg orally three times a day) with phenytoin (100 mg orally three times a day) decreased the mean steady-state Cmax, trough plasma concentration (Cmin) and AUC of quetiapine by 66%, 89% and 80%, respectively. The mean oral clearance increased by 5.5-fold. No data are available for other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inducers.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to quetiapine should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the quetiapine dosage adjusted as necessary. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if their symptoms worsen or their condition changes.

Drug and food interactions

Major

pexidartinib food

Applies to: pexidartinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The presence of food may increase the absorption and toxicity of pexidartinib. Administration of pexidartinib with a high-fat meal increased peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 100% and prolonged the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) by 2.5 hours.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentration and risk of adverse effects of pexidartinib, including potentially fatal hepatotoxicity. The mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of pexidartinib by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Concomitant administration of itraconazole, a strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased pexidartinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 48% and 70%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Pexidartinib should be administered on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal or snack. Consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice should generally be avoided during pexidartinib therapy. If concomitant use is unavoidable, the dose of pexidartinib should be reduced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If concomitant use of grapefruit or grapefruit juice is discontinued, the dose of pexidartinib may be increased (after 3 plasma half-lives of a strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor) to the dose that was used prior to consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

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.
