Interactions between your drugs
nilotinib copanlisib
Applies to: nilotinib and copanlisib
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of copanlisib, which is a substrate of both the isoenzyme and efflux transporter. When a single 60 mg intravenous dose of copanlisib was administered to cancer patients in combination with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor, itraconazole (200 mg once daily for 10 days), mean copanlisib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change but systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 53%.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when copanlisib is used with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for potentially increased adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, hyperglycemia, hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, cutaneous reactions (e.g., exfoliative dermatitis, maculopapular rash), anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and infections. Dosage adjustments for copanlisib may be necessary and should be done in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions
nilotinib food
Applies to: nilotinib
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of nilotinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. Compared to the fast state, nilotinib systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 82% when the dose was given 30 minutes after a high-fat meal. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nilotinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. In addition, no food should be consumed for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after a nilotinib dose.

The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice. 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 copanlisib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, hyperglycemia, hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, cutaneous reactions (e.g., exfoliative dermatitis, maculopapular rash), anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and infections.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with copanlisib.
