Interactions between your drugs

Major

bexarotene lazertinib

Applies to: bexarotene and lazertinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate to potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly reduce the plasma levels and effects of lazertinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a phase 1 study of healthy adult participants, concomitant use of the strong CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin reduced the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of lazertinib by 72% and 83%, respectively. Likewise, a pharmacokinetic model predicted that concomitant use with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer efavirenz would decrease lazertinib's steady state Cmax and AUC by at least 32% and 44%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends avoiding concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer due to a potential reduction in the efficacy of lazertinib. Consider use of an alternative concomitant medication with no potential to induce CYP450 3A4.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

bexarotene food

Applies to: bexarotene

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may enhance the oral bioavailability of bexarotene. In one clinical study, bexarotene peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) resulting from a 75 to 300 mg dose were 35% and 48% higher, respectively, when administered after a fat-containing meal relative to a glucose solution. In all clinical trials, patients were instructed to take bexarotene with or immediately following a meal.

Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 such as grapefruit juice may theoretically increase the plasma concentrations of bexarotene. In vitro studies suggest that bexarotene is metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, concomitant administration with multiple doses of ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, did not alter bexarotene plasma concentrations, which would imply that bexarotene elimination is not substantially dependent on CYP450 3A4 metabolism in vivo.

MANAGEMENT: Because safety and efficacy data are based upon administration with food, bexarotene should be administered once daily with a meal. Patients may want to avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

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.
