Interactions between Asciminib and Bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, and neutropenia occur with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting bone marrow suppression. A complete blood count should be performed every 1 to 2 weeks for the first month of therapy and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. To manage myelosuppression, withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Asciminib has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Cardiovascular toxicity has been reported with asciminib in patients with preexisting cardiovascular conditions or risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Reports of cardiovascular toxicity have included ischemia, arterial thrombotic and embolic conditions, and cardiac failure. Arrhythmia, including QTc prolongation, has been reported. Monitor patients with history of cardiovascular risk factors for cardiovascular signs and symptoms. Treat as clinically indicated. For cardiovascular toxicity, temporarily withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue therapy, based on persistence of cardiovascular toxicity.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Cardiovascular events (including arterial vascular occlusive events, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and ischemic cerebrovascular events) have been reported in patients receiving BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if acute signs or symptoms of cardiovascular events occur. Cardiovascular status should be evaluated, and cardiovascular risk factors should be monitored and actively managed during treatment.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

Adequate hydration might be necessary during therapy with bosutinib as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, and fluid replacement. To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Diarrhea.

Adequate hydration might be necessary during therapy with bosutinib as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, and fluid replacement. To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Asciminib has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

The use of asciminib may cause hypertension. Blood pressure should be well-controlled prior to initiating asciminib and treated as needed with standard anti-hypertensive therapy. For persistent hypertension despite anti-hypertensive medications, temporarily withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue therapy, based on the persistence of hypertension.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Bosutinib is primarily metabolized by the CYP 450 3A4. Therapy with bosutinib should be administered cautiously in patients with hepatic impairment and the starting dose should be 200 mg daily in patients with baseline hepatic impairment. The manufacturer recommends performing hepatic enzyme tests monthly for the first three months of bosutinib treatment and as clinically indicated. In patients with transaminase elevations, monitor liver enzymes more frequently. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.

Asciminib has a major potential interaction with Pancreatitis.

Asciminib can cause increases in serum lipase. Patients with a previous history of pancreatitis might be at increased risk and should be monitored carefully for lipase elevations and any abdominal symptoms. Serum lipase should be monitored monthly and as clinically indicated. If lipase and amylase elevations are accompanied by abdominal symptoms, hold therapy, and rule out pancreatitis.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pleural Effusion.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

An on-treatment decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has occurred in patients treated with bosutinib. The manufacturer recommends reducing the bosutinib starting dose in patients with severe (CrCl) less than 30 mL/min) or moderate (CrCl 30 to 50 mL/min) renal impairment at baseline. Consider dose adjustment in patients with baseline and treatment emergent renal impairment. It is recommended to monitor patients for renal function at baseline and during therapy with bosutinib, with particular attention to those patients who have preexisting renal impairment or risk factors for renal dysfunction.

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Vomiting.

Adequate hydration might be necessary during therapy with bosutinib as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, and fluid replacement. To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.
