Moderate

Lurbinectedin (applies to Zepzelca) liver dysfunction

No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment.

Lurbinectedin (applies to Zepzelca) myelosuppression

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

The use of lurbinectedin can cause myelosuppression. Assess blood counts, including neutrophil count and platelet count before each therapy and administer lurbinectedin only to patients with baseline neutrophil count of at least 1,500 cells/mm3 and platelet count of at least 100,000/mm3. For neutrophil count less than 500 cells/mm3 or any value less than lower limit of normal, the use of G-CSF is recommended.

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.
