Applies to: olaparib and Danyelza (naxitamab)

MONITOR: Coadministration with other myelosuppressive agents may potentiate and prolong the bone marrow toxicity associated with olaparib. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been reported in patients treated with olaparib. The majority of cases were fatal, and the duration of therapy with olaparib in patients who developed secondary MDS/cancer-therapy related AML varied from less than 6 months to greater than 2 years. All patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if olaparib is prescribed with other myelosuppressive agents. Complete blood counts should be performed at baseline and monthly thereafter. Do not start olaparib until patients have recovered from hematologic toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy. For prolonged hematologic toxicities, olaparib should be interrupted and blood counts monitored weekly until recovery. If the levels have not recovered to CTCAE Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, a haematologist should be consulted for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue olaparib. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience weakness, fatigue, fever, weight loss, infections, shortness of breath, unusual bleeding or bruising, or blood in urine or stool.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of olaparib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In a drug interaction study with 57 patients, olaparib systemic exposure (AUC) was increased approximately 2.7-fold by the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor itraconazole. Simulations using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models suggest that a moderate inhibitor (fluconazole) may increase the AUC of olaparib by 2-fold. 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 olaparib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as hematologic toxicity, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain or discomfort.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with olaparib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, starfruit (carambola), and Seville oranges.

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.
