ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of acalabrutinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulations showed that moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors (erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem) increased acalabrutinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 2- to nearly 3-fold. In healthy subjects, administration of acalabrutinib with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors fluconazole (400 mg as a single dose) or isavuconazole (200 mg as a repeated dose for 5 days) increased acalabrutinib Cmax and AUC by 1.4- to 2-fold, while the Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite, ACP-5862, was decreased by 0.65- to 0.88-fold. Increased acalabrutinib exposure may potentiate the risk of toxicities such as hemorrhage, infection, cytopenias, malignancies, and atrial fibrillation or flutter.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for signs of toxicity are advisable if acalabrutinib is used with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The manufacturer recommends reducing the dosage of acalabrutinib to 100 mg once daily when coadministered with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, although some experts suggest this may not be necessary. Refer to the product labeling for guidance on acalabrutinib dosage adjustments and treatment interruption or discontinuation should Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions occur.

Drug and food interactions
acalabrutinib food
Applies to: acalabrutinib
Acalabrutinib may be taken with or without food. However, consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of acalabrutinib. This may increase side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hemorrhage, development of other cancers, abnormal heart rhythm, 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 acalabrutinib. Be sure to take the medication at approximately the same time(s) every day 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. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
