Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

testosterone larotrectinib

Applies to: Andro-Cyp 200 (testosterone) and larotrectinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with larotrectinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. In study subjects, coadministration of midazolam, a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, with larotrectinib 100 mg twice daily increased midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 1.7-fold each compared to administration of midazolam alone. The Cmax and AUC of 1-hydroxymidazolam, the main metabolite of midazolam, were both increased by 1.4-fold.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when larotrectinib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever larotrectinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects. Some authorities recommend avoiding concomitant use of larotrectinib and sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrates or substrates with narrow therapeutic ranges. These drugs include, but are not limited to: alfentanil, cisapride, colchicine, cyclosporine, fentanyl, ivacaftor, lovastatin, simvastatin, oral midazolam, triazolam, pimozide, quinidine, sildenafil, ergot derivatives, macrolide immunosuppressants, and vinca alkaloids.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

larotrectinib food

Applies to: larotrectinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of larotrectinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of larotrectinib by certain compounds present in grapefruit. When a single 100 mg dose of larotrectinib was coadministered with itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, larotrectinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2.8- and 4.3-fold, respectively, compared to administration of larotrectinib alone. 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 larotrectinib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as neurotoxicity (delirium, dysarthria, dizziness, gait disturbance, paraesthesia, encephalopathy, memory impairment, tremor) and hepatotoxicity (elevations in liver transaminases).

Food does not alter the pharmacokinetics of larotrectinib to a clinically significant extent. When a single 100 mg dose of larotrectinib was administered with a high-fat meal (approximately 900 calories; 58 g carbohydrate, 56 g fat, 43 g protein) in healthy study subjects, larotrectinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was reduced by 35% while systemic exposure (AUC) was similar compared to administration in the fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: Larotrectinib may be taken with or without food. Patients should avoid the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment.

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.
