Interactions between your drugs

Major

conivaptan sonidegib

Applies to: conivaptan and sonidegib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of sonidegib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In 15 healthy volunteers, administration of a single 800 mg dose of sonidegib five days after starting treatment with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg orally twice daily for 14 days) increased mean sonidegib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 1.5- and 2.2-fold, respectively, compared to administration of sonidegib alone. Simulations using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models suggest that sonidegib steady-state AUC would similarly increase in cancer patients taking sonidegib 200 mg once daily with a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor for 14 days.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of sonidegib with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

sonidegib food

Applies to: sonidegib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly increases the oral bioavailability of sonidegib. According to the product labeling, administration of sonidegib with a high-fat meal (approximately 1000 calories; 50% from fat) increased mean sonidegib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 7.4- to 7.8-fold.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of sonidegib. 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 sonidegib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as musculoskeletal toxicity, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, alopecia, pruritus, and dysgeusia.

MANAGEMENT: Sonidegib should be administered on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with sonidegib.

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.
