Drug and food interactions

Major

futibatinib food

Applies to: Lytgobi (futibatinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of futibatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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 futibatinib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as retinal pigment epithelial detachment, dry eye/corneal keratitis, pyrexia, hyperphosphatemia and soft tissue mineralization, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, fatigue, nail toxicity, urinary tract infection, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased liver function tests (ALT and AST), stomatitis, abdominal pain, ascites, bile duct obstruction, and musculoskeletal pain.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with futibatinib.

Therapeutic duplication warnings

Therapeutic duplication is the use of more than one medicine from the same drug category or therapeutic class to treat the same condition. This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit. It can also be unintentional in cases where a patient has been treated by more than one doctor, or had prescriptions filled at more than one pharmacy, and can have potentially adverse consequences.

Duplication

Multikinase inhibitors

Therapeutic duplication

The recommended maximum number of medicines in the 'multikinase inhibitors' category to be taken concurrently is usually one. Your list includes two medicines belonging to the 'multikinase inhibitors' category:

  • Caprelsa (vandetanib)
  • Lytgobi (futibatinib)

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.
