Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications.

Contact your doctor immediately if you develop signs and symptoms of infection such as:

  • fever
  • chills
  • diarrhea
  • sore throat
  • muscle aches
  • shortness of breath
  • blood in phlegm
  • weight loss
  • red or inflamed skin
  • body sores
  • pain or burning during urination

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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

revumenib Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: Revuforj (revumenib)

High fat content meals may affect the absorption of revumenib. It is recommended that revumenib be taken while fasting or with a low fat meal (approximately 400 calories, with 25% of calories from fat).

Grapefruit juice may also increase the blood levels of revumenib which can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening.

You may be more susceptible if you have:

  • a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
  • other cardiac diseases
  • conduction abnormalities
  • electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)

Increased levels of revumenib may also increase the risk of developing a serious and potentially life-threatening condition called differentiation syndrome.

Symptoms of differentiation syndrome include:

  • fever
  • cough
  • shortness of breath
  • severe headache
  • confusion
  • dizziness
  • rapid weight gain
  • swelling
  • decreased urination

You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms and/or symptoms of QT prolongation such as sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with revumenib.

The risk and/or severity of other side effects may also increase, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or infections. You may need additional monitoring if grapefruit or grapefruit juice are consumed during treatment with revumenib.

Talk to a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

Moderate:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Cases of leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and pancytopenia, some with a fatal outcome, have been reported in patients treated with TNF blocking agents. Caution should be exercised when treating patients who have ongoing or a history of significant hematologic abnormalities. Discontinuation of therapy should be considered in patients with confirmed significant hematologic abnormalities.

Central Nervous System Disorders

Major:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a major potential interaction with Central Nervous System Disorders.

The use of TNF blocking agents has been associated with rare cases of CNS manifestations of systemic vasculitis, seizure and new onset or exacerbation of clinical symptoms and/or radiographic evidence of central nervous system demyelinating disorders, including multiple sclerosis and optic neuritis, and peripheral demyelinating disorders, including Guillain-Barré syndrome. Care should be exercised when considering the use of these agents in patients with neurologic disorders and discontinuing the agent is recommended if these disorders develop during therapy.

COPD

Moderate:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a moderate potential interaction with COPD.

In controlled trials of other TNF blockers, other than adalimumab, in adult patients at higher risk for malignancies (i.e., patients with COPD with a significant smoking history and cyclophosphamide-treated patients with Wegener's granulomatosis), a greater portion of malignancies occurred in the TNF blocker group compared to the control group.

Heart Failure

Moderate:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Cases of worsening congestive heart failure (CHF) and new onset CHF have been reported with TNF blockers. Cases of worsening CHF have also been observed with adalimumab. Adalimumab has not been formally studied in patients with CHF; however, in clinical trials of another TNF blocker, a higher rate of serious CHF-related adverse reactions was observed. Exercise caution when using adalimumab in patients who have heart failure and monitor them carefully.

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG. This drug should not be initiated in patients with QTcF greater than 450 msec. Monitor with ECG during treatment (once a week during the first 4 weeks and then monthly). More frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those taking other medications that can prolong the QTc interval.

History, Skin Cancer

Major:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a major potential interaction with History, Skin Cancer.

In clinical trials malignancies have been observed in patients receiving TNF-blockers agents. Patients with psoriasis should be monitored for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), particularly those patients who have had prior prolonged phototherapy treatment. Melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma have been reported in patients treated with TNF blocker therapy. Periodic skin examination is recommended for all patients, particularly those with risk factors for skin cancer. Postmarketing cases of fatal hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers. Caution should be exercised when considering these agents in the treatment of patients with a history of malignancies or in continuing treatment in patients who develop malignancies while receiving these agents.

Hypokalemia

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG. This drug should not be initiated in patients with QTcF greater than 450 msec. Monitor with ECG during treatment (once a week during the first 4 weeks and then monthly). More frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those taking other medications that can prolong the QTc interval.

Infection

Major:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a major potential interaction with Infection.

There have been reports of serious infections, including sepsis and opportunistic infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, parasitic, or other opportunistic pathogens including aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, legionellosis, listeriosis, pneumocystosis and tuberculosis with TNF blockers. Treatment with these agents should not be initiated in patients with an active infection, including clinically important localized infections. Caution and close monitoring is recommended when considering their use in patients with a history of recurrent infections, underlying conditions which may predispose them to infections, or chronic, latent, or localized infections. Administration of these agents should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis.

Infectious Hepatitis

Moderate:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a moderate potential interaction with Infectious Hepatitis.

The use of TNF blockers has been associated with reactivation of hepatitis B, in some cases fatal, in patients who were previously infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Therefore, screening for viral hepatitis should be performed in accordance with published guidelines before starting therapy with these agents. Monitor patients at risk or with evidence of current or prior HBV infection for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis or HBV reactivation. Prescribers should exercise caution in prescribing TNF blockers in patients previously infected with HBV. It is recommended to monitor patients with evidence of current or prior HBV infection for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis or HBV reactivation during and for several months following therapy. In patients who develop HBV reactivation, therapy should be stopped and antiviral therapy with appropriate supportive treatment should be initiated. The safety of resuming these agents after HBV reactivation is controlled is not known. Therefore, prescribers should weigh the risks and benefits when considering resumption of therapy.

Tuberculosis, Active

Major:

adalimumab

Adalimumab has a major potential interaction with Tuberculosis, Active.

Cases of reactivation of tuberculosis or new tuberculosis infections have been observed in patients receiving TNF blocking agents, including patients who have previously received treatment for latent or active tuberculosis. Cases of active tuberculosis have also occurred in patients being treated with these agents during treatment for latent tuberculosis. Prior to initiating TNF blocking agents, patients should be screened for latent tuberculosis infection with a tuberculin skin test and periodically during therapy. Patients testing positive in tuberculosis screening should be treated by standard medical practice prior to therapy with TNF blocking agents. Anti-tuberculosis therapy should also be considered prior to initiation of therapy in patients with a past history of latent or active tuberculosis in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis should be strongly considered in patients who develop a new infection during treatment, especially in patients who have previously or recently traveled to countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis, or who have had close contact with a person with active tuberculosis.
