Drug Interactions between adagrasib and Advair Diskus

MONITOR: Coadministration with adagrasib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by the CYP450 3A4, 2D6 or 2C9 enzymatic pathways or are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux membrane transporter. When adagrasib 400 mg twice daily (two-thirds the approved recommended dosage) was administered with midazolam (a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate) and dextromethorphan (a sensitive CYP450 2D6 substrate) in pharmacokinetic studies, midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 4.8- and 21-fold, respectively, while dextromethorphan Cmax and AUC increased by 1.9- and 1.8-fold, respectively. Adagrasib at the approved recommended dosage of 600 mg twice daily is predicted to increase midazolam Cmax by 3.1-fold and AUC by 31-fold; dextromethorphan Cmax by 1.7-fold and AUC by 2.4-fold; warfarin (a sensitive CYP450 2C9 substrate) Cmax by 1.1-fold and AUC by 2.9-fold; and digoxin (a P-gp substrate) Cmax by 1.9-fold and AUC by 1.5-fold. These results suggest that adagrasib is a potent inhibitor of CYP450 3A4 and may be a moderate inhibitor of CYP450 2D6 and 2C9 at the approved recommended dosage of 600 mg twice daily.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when adagrasib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, CYP450 2D6, CYP450 2C9 and/or P-gp, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Substitution for these medications is recommended when possible, or initiate with lower dosages and monitor patient clinical response/tolerance and titrate accordingly if coadministration is required. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

MONITOR: Beta-2 adrenergic agonists can cause dose-related prolongation of the QT interval and potassium loss. 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). Clinically significant prolongation of QT interval and hypokalemia occur infrequently when beta-2 agonists are inhaled at normally recommended dosages. However, these effects may be more common when the drugs are administered systemically or when recommended dosages are exceeded.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended if beta-2 agonists are used in combination with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.

Although they are often combined in clinical practice, the concomitant use of beta-2 adrenergic agonists and corticosteroids may result in additive hypokalemic effects. Since beta-2 agonists can sometimes cause QT interval prolongation, the development of hypokalemia may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes. However, clinical data are limited, and the potential significance is unknown. Patients who are receiving systemic or nebulized formulations of beta-2 agonists, high dosages of inhaled beta-2 agonists, or systemic corticosteroid therapy may be at a greater risk of developing hypokalemia.
