Interactions between your drugs

Major

carfilzomib vadadustat

Applies to: carfilzomib and Vafseo (vadadustat)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR CLOSELY: Venous thromboembolic events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), have occurred during treatment with carfilzomib, and concurrent use of other agents also associated with this adverse effect can potentiate the risk. In clinical trials, the reported incidence of venous thromboembolic events was up to 15.3% with carfilzomib plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone versus 9% with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. In addition, the reported incidence of venous thromboembolic events was up to 10.6% with carfilzomib plus dexamethasone versus 3.1% with bortezomib plus dexamethasone. The incidence of thromboembolic events was 2% with carfilzomib monotherapy.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when carfilzomib is used with other drugs that can increase the risk of thrombosis. Thromboprophylaxis should be considered according to local treatment protocols. Close monitoring for thromboembolic events is recommended in patients with known risk factors (e.g., prior thrombosis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking) for thromboembolism. Patients should be advised to seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms of thromboembolism, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, hemoptysis, or arm or leg swelling or pain.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

vadadustat food

Applies to: Vafseo (vadadustat)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Smoking and alcohol consumption during therapy with vadadustat may increase the risk of gastrointestinal erosions. Serious erosions, including gastrointestinal bleeding and the need for red blood cell transfusions, have been reported during vadadustat clinical trials. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal erosion, peptic ulcer disease, and current tobacco smokers and alcohol drinkers may be at higher risk of gastrointestinal injury.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if vadadustat is prescribed to current tobacco smokers or alcohol drinkers. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they develop potential signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal injury such as abdominal pain, hematemesis, trouble swallowing, chest or throat pain, and/or black, tarry stools.
