Liver Disease
Moderate:
aprepitant
Aprepitant has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Aprepitant is primarily metabolized by the liver. In studies of patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 5 to 9), aprepitant was well tolerated and no clinically significant alterations in its pharmacokinetics were observed. Thus, no dosage adjustment of aprepitant is necessary in this patient population. However, there are no clinical or pharmacokinetic data in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score > 9), and caution is advised if aprepitant is used in such patients.
Moderate:
Nubeqa
The darolutamide in Nubeqa has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B) have a higher exposure to darolutamide and reduction of the dose is recommended (see manufacturer package insert for recommended dose). No dose reduction is needed for patients with mild hepatic impairment. The effect of severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) on darolutamide pharmacokinetics is unknown.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
Nubeqa
The darolutamide in Nubeqa has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2) who are not receiving hemodialysis have a higher exposure to darolutamide and reduction of the dose is recommended (see manufacturer package insert for recommended dose). No dose reduction is needed for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. The effect of end stage renal disease (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2) on darolutamide pharmacokinetics is unknown.
