Drug Interactions between Anoro Ellipta and cobicistat / darunavir

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the systemic exposure to vilanterol following oral inhalation, as it is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. The interaction has been studied with fluticasone-vilanterol and ketoconazole. When fluticasone-vilanterol (200 mcg-25 mcg once daily for 7 days) was coadministered with ketoconazole (400 once daily for 11 days) in healthy subjects, fluticasone and vilanterol systemic exposure (AUC) were 36% and 65% higher, respectively, compared to coadministration with placebo. The increase in fluticasone exposure was associated with a 27% reduction in 24-hour weighted mean serum cortisol, whereas the increase in vilanterol exposure was not associated with an increase in beta-2 adrenergic systemic effects on heart rate or blood potassium.

MANAGEMENT: Due to the risk of cardiovascular adverse effects such as increases in pulse rate and blood pressure and ECG changes such as flattening of the T wave, prolongation of the QTc interval, and ST segment depression, caution is recommended when medications containing vilanterol are coadministered with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, conivaptan, nefazodone, cobicistat, delavirdine, protease inhibitors, and ketolide and certain macrolide antibiotics. An increased risk of systemic corticosteroid effects should also be considered when fluticasone-vilanterol is used.
