MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of abemaciclib and its pharmacologically active metabolites, all of which are substrates of the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, abemaciclib systemic exposure (AUC) is predicted to increase by up to 16-fold when administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole. Itraconazole, another potent inhibitor, is predicted to increase the relative potency-adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib plus its active metabolites by 2.2-fold. In cancer patients, administration of a single 50 mg dose of abemaciclib (one-third the approved recommended dose of 150 mg) with clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily increased the relative potency-adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib plus its active metabolites by 2.5-fold relative to abemaciclib administered alone. The moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, diltiazem and verapamil, are predicted to increase the relative potency-adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib plus its active metabolites by 2.4-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when abemaciclib is used with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Dosage adjustments for abemaciclib in 50 mg decrements may be necessary and should be done in accordance with the product labeling. Patients should be monitored for potentially increased adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, venous thromboembolism, hepatotoxicity, anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of abemaciclib. This may increase side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, mouth sores, blood clots, hair loss, liver problems, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. You should avoid the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with abemaciclib. Be sure to take the medication at approximately the same time everyday to maintain consistent blood levels and effects. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed.
