Mipomersen Disease Interactions

There are 2 disease interactions with mipomersen.

Major

Mipomersen (applies to mipomersen) hepatic impairment

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

Mipomersen is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C) or active liver disease, including unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases. This agent can cause elevations in transaminases and hepatic steatosis, and could induce steatohepatitis, which could progress to cirrhosis. It is recommended to measure a full liver panel to include ALT, AST, total bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase before initiation of treatment. If transaminase elevations are accompanied by clinical symptoms of liver injury (e.g., nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, lethargy, flu-like symptoms), increases in bilirubin >= 2 times ULN, or active liver disease, discontinue treatment and identify the probable cause.

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.
