Interactions between your drugs

Major

cobimetinib loncastuximab tesirine

Applies to: cobimetinib and loncastuximab tesirine

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of loncastuximab tesirine with antineoplastic, immune-modulating, immuno- or myelosuppressive therapies may potentiate the risk of severe infections, myelosuppression, and/or other unintended additive immunosuppressive effects. Serious and fatal infections, including opportunistic infections, as well as myelosuppression, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia have been reported with the use of loncastuximab tesirine. Concomitant use may potentiate these risks. However, clinical data are not available.

MANAGEMENT: The safety and efficacy of loncastuximab tesirine use in combination with other immuno- or myelosuppressive agents have not been evaluated. Patients receiving loncastuximab tesirine should be monitored closely for the development of signs and symptoms of infection and/or myelosuppression. The manufacturers' recommendations and institutional protocols for dosage, treatment regimens, monitoring, and management of toxicities should be consulted.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cobimetinib food

Applies to: cobimetinib

MONITOR: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme, such as cobimetinib. However, the interaction seems to affect primarily those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability), presumably due to the fact that grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4. Because pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, 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 cobimetinib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact with these drugs.

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.
