Drug Interactions between AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Kaletra and Kisqali Femara Co-Pack

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of ribociclib, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. In healthy subjects, administration of a single 400 mg dose of ribociclib with ritonavir (100 mg twice daily for 14 days), a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, resulted in a 1.7-fold and 3.2-fold increase in ribociclib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC), respectively, compared to ribociclib administered alone. In addition, administration of erythromycin, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase ribociclib Cmax and AUC by 1.3-fold and 1.9-fold, respectively. The risk of adverse effects such as infections, neutropenia, leucopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, anorexia, alopecia, fatigue, headache, and abnormal liver function may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of ribociclib with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided. Alternative agents with no or minimal CYP450 3A4 inhibitory potential are recommended whenever possible. If no alternatives exist, the dose of ribociclib should be reduced to 400 mg once daily. Patients receiving concomitant treatment with a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor should be monitored for the development of ribociclib-related adverse effects. Following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, the ribociclib dosage should be returned (after at least 5 half-lives of the inhibitor) to that used prior to initiation of the inhibitor.

GENERALLY AVOID: Ribociclib can cause dose-related prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with other agents that can prolong the QT interval may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death. In general, the risk of an individual agent or a combination of agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors such as congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia). In addition, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation is dependent on the particular drug(s) involved and dosage(s) of the drug(s).

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of ribociclib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In healthy subjects, administration of a single 400 mg dose of ribociclib with ritonavir (100 mg twice daily for 14 days), a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, resulted in a 1.7-fold and 3.2-fold increase in ribociclib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC), respectively, compared to ribociclib administered alone. In addition, administration of erythromycin, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase ribociclib Cmax and AUC by 1.3-fold and 1.9-fold, respectively. The risk of adverse effects such as infections, neutropenia, leucopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, anorexia, alopecia, fatigue, headache, and abnormal liver function may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of ribociclib with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval and are CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided. Since the magnitude of QT prolongation may increase with increasing plasma concentrations of ribociclib, caution and close clinical monitoring are recommended if concomitant use with these drugs is unavoidable. Alternative agents with no or minimal CYP450 3A4 inhibitory potential are recommended whenever possible. If no alternatives exist, the dose of ribociclib should be reduced to 400 mg once daily. Following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, the ribociclib dosage should be returned (after at least 5 half-lives of the inhibitor) to that used prior to initiation of the inhibitor. In addition, ECGs should be assessed prior to initiation of treatment, during treatment when clinically necessary, and more frequently if QTcF prolongation occurs at any time during treatment. Ribociclib should be permanently discontinued if the QTcF interval prolongation is either greater than 500 msec or there is a greater than 60 msec change from baseline and associated with any of the following: Torsades de Pointes, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, unexplained syncope, or signs/symptoms of serious arrhythmia.

MONITOR: Coadministration with ritonavir, with or without lopinavir, has been suggested in postmarketing reports to increase the proximal tubular intracellular concentrations of tenofovir and potentiate the risk of tenofovir-induced nephrotoxicity. The proposed mechanism is ritonavir inhibition of tenofovir renal tubular secretion into the urine via multidrug resistance protein MRP2. Analysis of data from a compassionate access study in which 271 patients with advanced HIV disease received the combination for a mean duration of 63 weeks revealed no clinically significant nephrotoxicity associated with coadministration. However, there have been case reports of renal failure associated with acute tubular necrosis, Fanconi's syndrome, and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in patients treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in combination with ritonavir. Some patients had incomplete recovery of renal function more than a year after cessation of tenofovir therapy. Ritonavir given in combination with lopinavir has also been reported to modestly increase the plasma concentrations of tenofovir. In contrast, both slight decreases and no change in lopinavir and ritonavir concentrations have been reported.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is prescribed with ritonavir. Renal function should be monitored regularly, including surveillance for signs of tubulopathy such as glycosuria, acidosis, increases in serum creatinine level, electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia), and proteinuria. The same precaution may be applicable during therapy with other protease inhibitors based on their similar pharmacokinetic profile, although clinical data are lacking. Nelfinavir reportedly does not alter the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir, or vice versa. Tenofovir administration should be discontinued promptly if nephropathy develops.

MONITOR: Coadministration with ribociclib may increase the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to ribociclib-mediated inhibition of CYP450 3A4 metabolism. In healthy study subjects, administration of midazolam, a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, with multiple 400 mg daily doses of ribociclib increased the midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 2.1-fold and 3.8-fold, respectively, compared to midazolam administered alone. When given at a clinically relevant dose of 600 mg daily, ribociclib is predicted to increase midazolam Cmax and AUC by 2.4-fold and 5.2-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when ribociclib is used concomitantly with drugs that undergo metabolism by CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever ribociclib is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
