Drug Interactions between capivasertib and leniolisib

Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit should be avoided during treatment with capivasertib as they may increase the blood levels of capivasertib. This may increase the risk of side effects such as high blood sugar levels, diarrhea, skin reactions, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and changes in certain blood tests. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 including grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of leniolisib, which undergoes extensive CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall and liver. 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of leniolisib. Some authorities recommend to avoid grapefruit products during leniolisib treatment (UK).
