Drug Interactions between amprenavir and glasdegib

GENERALLY AVOID: Administration with a high-fat meal may decrease the oral bioavailability of amprenavir. The mechanism is unknown. In healthy volunteers, consumption of a standardized high-fat meal decreased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of amprenavir (1200 mg single oral dose) by 36% and 21%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasted state. The time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was increased 44% following a high-fat meal.

Grapefruit juice does not appear to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. In 12 healthy volunteers, administration with grapefruit juice (200 mL) decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of amprenavir (1200 mg single oral dose) by 22% compared to water. The median time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was prolonged from 0.75 to 1.13 hours. These pharmacokinetic changes are not thought to be clinically significant, since antiretroviral response is more closely associated with systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin), which were not affected in the study.

MANAGEMENT: Amprenavir may be taken with or without food, but should not be taken with a high-fat meal.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of glasdegib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruit. When glasdegib was coadministered with ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, glasdegib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.4- and 2.4-fold, respectively, compared to administration of glasdegib alone. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

When administered with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (800 to 1000 total calories, 500 to 600 fat calories, 250 carbohydrate calories, and 150 protein calories), glasdegib Cmax and AUC decreased by 31% and 16%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Glasdegib may be administered with or without food. Coadministration of grapefruit or grapefruit juice with glasdegib should preferably be avoided.
