Major drug interactions
Major:
yellow fever vaccine afamitresgene autoleucel
Applies to: yellow fever vaccine and afamitresgene autoleucel
If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with afamitresgene autoleucel, you should let your doctor know before receiving yellow fever vaccine. Depending on the dose and length of time you have been on afamitresgene autoleucel, you may be at risk for developing an infection from the vaccine or have a reduced response to the vaccine. In some situations, your doctor may want to delay vaccination to give your body time to recover from the effects of afamitresgene autoleucel therapy. Conversely, if you have recently been vaccinated with yellow fever vaccine, your doctor may choose to postpone treatment with afamitresgene autoleucel for a few weeks. 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.

Disease interactions
6 potential interactions Applies to: 5 conditions, including Fever, Liver Disease, Infection, Immunodeficiency, and Renal Dysfunction.
Fever
Major:
yellow fever vaccine
Yellow fever vaccine has a major potential interaction with Fever.
Ideally, vaccination should occur when an individual is healthy, thus minimizing the risk of an adverse host reaction and/or vaccine failure. However, a current or recent infection does not necessarily preclude the use of vaccines, depending on the severity of the patient's symptoms and their etiology. Superficial infections and minor acute illnesses such as a mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade fever do not contraindicate immunization, particularly if prompt administration of a vaccine is deemed necessary or beneficial. In fact, when vaccines are administered during the course of a minor illness, the risk of adverse events is not increased, and serum antibody response is not often diminished. On the other hand, if fever or symptoms suggest a moderate or severe illness, it is usually appropriate to withhold vaccination until the patient has recovered. In addition to the potential risks already mentioned, evolving signs and symptoms of the illness can sometimes confound the diagnosis of a vaccine reaction if it develops. In the presence of any infection, the decision to administer or withhold/defer immunization should take into consideration the benefits versus the risks to an individual patient.
Immunodeficiency
Major:
yellow fever vaccine
Yellow fever vaccine has a major potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.
In general, the use of yellow fever vaccine is contraindicated in patients with primary or acquired immunodeficiency. Since yellow fever vaccine contains live attenuated virus, the absence of immune competence may potentiate the replication of vaccine virus, increase adverse host reactions, and compromise serum antibody response. In patients with severe immunosuppression or known HIV infection, the use of yellow fever vaccine may pose a theoretical risk of encephalitis. Asymptomatic HIV-infected patients may be vaccinated if potential exposure to yellow fever virus is deemed unavoidable. However, they should be monitored for adverse effects, and it may be necessary to have neutralizing antibody titers obtained before departure to gauge the adequacy of the serum antibody response. Finally, the vaccine should not be administered to anyone with a family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency until the individual's immune status can be assessed and is determined to be adequate.
Infection
Major:
yellow fever vaccine
Yellow fever vaccine has a major potential interaction with Infection.
Ideally, vaccination should occur when an individual is healthy, thus minimizing the risk of an adverse host reaction and/or vaccine failure. However, a current or recent infection does not necessarily preclude the use of vaccines, depending on the severity of the patient's symptoms and their etiology. Superficial infections and minor acute illnesses such as a mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade fever do not contraindicate immunization, particularly if prompt administration of a vaccine is deemed necessary or beneficial. In fact, when vaccines are administered during the course of a minor illness, the risk of adverse events is not increased, and serum antibody response is not often diminished. On the other hand, if fever or symptoms suggest a moderate or severe illness, it is usually appropriate to withhold vaccination until the patient has recovered. In addition to the potential risks already mentioned, evolving signs and symptoms of the illness can sometimes confound the diagnosis of a vaccine reaction if it develops. In the presence of any infection, the decision to administer or withhold/defer immunization should take into consideration the benefits versus the risks to an individual patient.
Moderate:
afamitresgene autoleucel
Afamitresgene autoleucel has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.
Afamitresgene autoleucel is not recommended in patients with active infections. Additionally, this drug may cause viral reactivation. Patients should be screened for presence of viral and infectious agents (e.g., Epstein-Barr Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus) if clinically indicated. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection before and after treatment. Consider antiviral therapy to prevent viral reactivation per local guidelines.
Liver Disease
Moderate:
afamitresgene autoleucel
Afamitresgene autoleucel has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Afamitresgene autoleucel has not been studied in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
afamitresgene autoleucel
Afamitresgene autoleucel has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Afamitresgene autoleucel has not been studied in patients with any degree of renal impairment.
