Drug Interactions between adagrasib and ibrutinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or Seville oranges may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of ibrutinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Pharmacokinetic modeling suggests that other moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as diltiazem and erythromycin may increase ibrutinib systemic exposure (AUC) by 6- to 9-fold under fasting condition. The safety and efficacy of these exposures are unknown. The highest ibrutinib dose evaluated in clinical trials was 12.5 mg/kg (actual doses of 840 to 1400 mg) given for 28 days, which yielded single dose AUC values that were approximately 50% greater than steady-state exposures seen at the highest indicated dose of 560 mg.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of ibrutinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. According to the product labeling, administration with food increases ibrutinib exposure approximately 2-fold compared to administration after overnight fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ibrutinib should avoid consumption of Seville oranges, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. Ibrutinib should be taken once daily at approximately the same time each day.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Adagrasib can cause concentration-dependent, prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with grapefruit juice before adagrasib has reached steady-state may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of adagrasib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole. In a clinical drug interaction study, adagrasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were increased by 2.4-fold and 4-fold, respectively following concomitant use of a single dose of adagrasib (200 mg) with itraconazole. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of adagrasib at steady state were predicted when used concomitantly with itraconazole. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased exposure to adagrasib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as QT prolongation, diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, and renal impairment.

Adagrasib pharmacokinetics were not significantly affected when administered with a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice until adagrasib concentrations have reached steady state (after approximately 8 days). 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. Adagrasib may be administered with or without food.
