Interactions between your drugs

Major

indinavir sacituzumab govitecan

Applies to: Crixivan (indinavir) and sacituzumab govitecan

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of sacituzumab govitecan with inhibitors of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) may increase the risk of adverse effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and neutropenia. The proposed mechanism involves increased exposure to the pharmacologically active metabolite SN-38, a topoisomerase I inhibitor linked to sacituzumab govitecan, which is metabolized via UGT1A1. Genetic variants of the UGT1A1 gene such as the UGT1A1*28 allele lead to reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity and patients who are homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia from SN-38.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of sacituzumab govitecan with UGT1A1 inhibitors should be avoided. If coadministration is unavoidable, patients should be closely monitored for the development of severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and neutropenia. Patients should be advised to promptly report symptoms such as chills, fever, malaise, sore throat, mouth sores, unusual fatigue, bruising, or bleeding.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

indinavir food

Applies to: Crixivan (indinavir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: According to the manufacturer, coadministration with a meal high in calories, fat, and protein reduces the absorption of indinavir. In ten patients given indinavir in this manner, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of indinavir decreased by an average of 84% and 77%, respectively. In contrast, grapefruit juice may have only minor effects on the oral bioavailability of indinavir. The manufacturer's package labeling states that administration of a single 400 mg dose of indinavir with 8 oz. of grapefruit juice decreased indinavir AUC by an average of 26%. Likewise, a study consisting of 14 HIV-infected subjects found no uniform nor significant changes in steady-state indinavir AUC during administration with double-strength grapefruit juice compared to water. There was, however, a delay in absorption (Tmax) due to grapefruit juice that is unlikely to be of clinical significance.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, indinavir should be administered without food but with water 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Alternatively, indinavir may be administered with other liquids such as skim milk, juice, coffee, or tea, or with a light meal (e.g., dry toast with jelly, juice, and coffee with skim milk and sugar; corn flakes, skim milk and sugar).

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.
