belumosudil valoctocogene roxaparvovec

Applies to: belumosudil and valoctocogene roxaparvovec

MONITOR: Coadministration with other hepatotoxic agents may increase the risk of liver injury and decrease the therapeutic efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec, a liver-directed adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector designed to help replace missing coagulation factor VIII. Most of the patients treated with valoctocogene roxaparvovec in clinical studies experienced ALT elevations, presumably due to immune-mediated injury of transduced hepatocytes, which may decrease the therapeutic efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec. In a clinical trial of adults with severe hemophilia (n=134) receiving a single dose of valoctocogene roxaparvovec (6 x 10[13] vector genomes [vg]/kg), 107 patients (96%) experienced increased ALT levels greater than or equal to 1.5 times baseline or greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN), while 12 patients (9%) experienced increased ALT levels greater than 5 to 20 times ULN. Some of the ALT elevations were associated with decreased factor VIII activity. Most patients treated with valoctocogene roxaparvovec required immunosuppressive medications, including corticosteroids, to control elevations in transaminases and prevent loss of transgene expression.

MANAGEMENT: The risk of additive hepatotoxicity and decreased therapeutic efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec should be considered after coadministration with other hepatotoxic agents. Alternative treatment may be required if an interaction is suspected. Monitoring of ALT and factor VIII activity levels (e.g., weekly to every 2 weeks for the first month) is recommended when a new medication is started following valoctocogene roxaparvovec administration.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

belumosudil food

Applies to: belumosudil

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food increases the oral bioavailability of belumosudil. The mechanism has not been described. Administration of belumosudil (200 mg single oral dose) in healthy subjects, with a fatty and calorie-rich meal (approximately half of the calories were contained in the fat) increased the mean belumosudil peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 120% and 100%, respectively, compared to administration under fasting conditions. The time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) was delayed by 30 minutes. Administration of oral belumosudil 200 mg once daily with food in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (chronic GVHD) lead to steady-state concentrations of the drug with an accumulation ration of 1.4.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, belumosudil should be administered with a meal, every day at the same time.

valoctocogene roxaparvovec food

Applies to: valoctocogene roxaparvovec

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with other hepatotoxic agents such as alcohol may increase the risk of liver injury and decrease the therapeutic efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec, a liver-directed adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector designed to help replace missing coagulation factor VIII. Most of the patients treated with valoctocogene roxaparvovec in clinical studies experienced ALT elevations, presumably due to immune-mediated injury of transduced hepatocytes, which may decrease the therapeutic efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec. In a clinical trial of adults with severe hemophilia (n=134) receiving a single dose of valoctocogene roxaparvovec (6 x 10[13] vector genomes [vg]/kg), 107 patients (96%) experienced increased ALT levels greater than or equal to 1.5 times baseline or greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN), while 12 patients (9%) experienced increased ALT levels greater than 5 to 20 times ULN. Some of the ALT elevations were associated with decreased factor VIII activity, and some were attributed to alcohol consumption. Most patients treated with valoctocogene roxaparvovec required immunosuppressive medications, including corticosteroids, to control elevations in transaminases and prevent loss of transgene expression.

MANAGEMENT: After administration of valoctocogene roxaparvovec, alcohol consumption should be avoided for at least 1 year and limited thereafter.

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.
