adagrasib benzgalantamine

Applies to: Krazati (adagrasib) and benzgalantamine

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 and/or 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of galantamine, which is also an active metabolite of benzgalantamine. Up to 75% of galantamine is eliminated via metabolism and in vitro studies have identified CYP450 2D6 and 3A4 as the major isoenzymes involved. The systemic exposure (AUC) of galantamine (4 mg, 8 mg, or 12 mg twice daily) increased by 40%, 45%, and 48%, respectively, when administered to healthy volunteers (n=16) also receiving the strong CYP450 2D6 inhibitor paroxetine. Similarly, the strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily) increased the AUC of galantamine (4 mg twice daily) by 30% when given concurrently to study subjects (n=16). An increase in the AUC of galantamine can increase the risk of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-related adverse effects. One potential side effect of galantamine is bradycardia, which may increase the risk of QT prolongation. If the inhibitor being coadministered is also associated with QT prolongation (e.g., adagrasib, ceritinib, fluoxetine, ketoconazole, levoketoconazole, mifepristone), the risk of experiencing this adverse effect may be further increased.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and closer monitoring of the pharmacologic response to galantamine and its prodrug benzgalantamine is advised whenever a potent CYP450 2D6 and/or 3A4 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Some authorities suggest considering a reduction in the galantamine dose for patients on concurrent potent CYP450 2D6 and/or 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored more closely for acetylcholinesterase inhibitor related adverse effects including vagotonic effects on the heart rate (e.g., bradycardia, which may increase the risk of QT prolongation, and heart block), neurologic side effects (e.g., seizure activity), respiratory distress, bladder outflow obstruction, dizziness or syncope, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These effects may be more severe when the coadministered inhibitor shares a similar adverse effect profile with galantamine.

Drug and food interactions

Major

adagrasib food

Applies to: Krazati (adagrasib)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Adagrasib can cause concentration-dependent, prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with grapefruit juice before adagrasib has reached steady-state may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of adagrasib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole. In a clinical drug interaction study, adagrasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were increased by 2.4-fold and 4-fold, respectively following concomitant use of a single dose of adagrasib (200 mg) with itraconazole. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of adagrasib at steady state were predicted when used concomitantly with itraconazole. 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 adagrasib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as QT prolongation, diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, and renal impairment.

Adagrasib pharmacokinetics were not significantly affected when administered with a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice until adagrasib concentrations have reached steady state (after approximately 8 days). Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. Adagrasib may be administered with or without food.

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.
