Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

crizotinib copanlisib

Applies to: Xalkori (crizotinib) and Aliqopa (copanlisib)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of copanlisib, which is a substrate of both the isoenzyme and efflux transporter. When a single 60 mg intravenous dose of copanlisib was administered to cancer patients in combination with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor, itraconazole (200 mg once daily for 10 days), mean copanlisib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change but systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 53%.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when copanlisib is used with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for potentially increased adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, hyperglycemia, hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, cutaneous reactions (e.g., exfoliative dermatitis, maculopapular rash), anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and infections. Dosage adjustments for copanlisib may be necessary and should be done in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions

Major

crizotinib food

Applies to: Xalkori (crizotinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of crizotinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Because crizotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

Food has no significant effect on the gastrointestinal absorption of crizotinib. According to the product labeling, a high-fat meal reduced crizotinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 14%.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with crizotinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. Crizotinib may be taken without regards to food.

copanlisib food

Applies to: Aliqopa (copanlisib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of copanlisib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of copanlisib by certain compounds present in grapefruit. When a single 60 mg intravenous dose of copanlisib was administered to cancer patients in combination with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor, itraconazole (200 mg once daily for 10 days), mean copanlisib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change but systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 53%. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice. 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 copanlisib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, hyperglycemia, hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, cutaneous reactions (e.g., exfoliative dermatitis, maculopapular rash), anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and infections.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with copanlisib.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
