Alunbrig Disease Interactions

There are 3 disease interactions with Alunbrig (brigatinib).

Moderate

Brigatinib (applies to Alunbrig) liver dysfunction

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease

Following a single dose of 90 mg, unbound brigatinib systemic exposure was 37% higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. It is recommended to reduce the dose by approximately 40% (i.e., from 180 mg to 120 mg, 120 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg) in these patients. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A) or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B).

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Pulmonary Impairment, Interstitial Pneumonitis

Severe, life-threatening, and fatal pulmonary adverse reactions consistent with interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis have occurred with the use of brigatinib. It is recommended to monitor for new or worsening respiratory symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, cough, etc.), particularly during the first week of initiating this drug. Withhold brigatinib in any patient with new or worsening respiratory symptoms, and promptly evaluate for ILD/pneumonitis or other causes of respiratory symptoms (e.g., pulmonary embolism, tumor progression, and infectious pneumonia). Dose modifications or permanent discontinuation may be necessary.

Brigatinib (applies to Alunbrig) renal impairment

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Renal Dysfunction

Following a single dose of 90 mg, unbound brigatinib systemic exposure was 86% higher in subjects with severe renal impairment [creatinine clearance (CrCl) 15 to 29 mL/min] compared to subjects with normal renal function. It is recommended to reduce dose by approximately 50% (i.e., from 180 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg) in these patients. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [creatinine clearance (CrCl) 30 to 89 mL/min].

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.
