Monitor patients for the development of severe cutaneous reactions and discontinue idelalisib if clinically appropriate.
Diarrhea
Major:
idelalisib
Idelalisib has a major potential interaction with Diarrhea.
Severe diarrhea or colitis have been reported in patients treated with idelalisib. It is recommended to avoid concurrent use of idelalisib and other drugs that cause diarrhea. Care should be taken when using this agent in patients with diarrhea or colitis.

Fatal and/or serious infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, febrile neutropenia, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) have been reported in patients treated with idelalisib. It is recommended to monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and to interrupt therapy with idelalisib for Grade 3 or higher infection. Consider prophylaxis for PJP in patients at risk and interrupt therapy in patients with suspected PJP infection of any grade, and permanently discontinue treatment if PJP infection of any grade is confirmed or interrupt idelalisib in the setting of positive CMV PCR or antigen test until the infection has resolved. If therapy is subsequently resumed, patients should be monitored (by PCR or antigen test) for CMV reactivation at least monthly.
Interstitial Lung Disease
Moderate:
idelalisib
Idelalisib has a moderate potential interaction with Interstitial Lung Disease.
The use of certain multikinase inhibitors has been associated with pulmonary toxicity. Serious cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD), including fatal cases and interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis have been reported. Caution is recommended when using these agents in patients with a history of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis or those patients presenting with acute onset of new or progressive unexplained pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever pending diagnostic evaluation. If ILD is confirmed, these agents should be permanently discontinued and appropriate measures should be instituted. Treatment should be immediately withheld in patients diagnosed with ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinued if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis have been identified.
Liver Disease
Major:
idelalisib
Idelalisib has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Fatal and/or serious hepatotoxicity have been reported in patients treated with idelalisib. Monitor ALT and AST in all patients as clinically appropriate. Patients with baseline hepatic impairment should be monitored for signs of idelalisib toxicity and dose modification with idelalisib should be made accordingly. It is recommended to monitor weekly for liver toxicity if the ALT or AST rises above 3 times the upper limit of normal until resolved and withhold therapy with idelalisib if the ALT or AST is greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal, and continue to monitor AST, ALT and total bilirubin weekly until the normal levels are attained. Discontinue idelalisib for recurrent hepatotoxicity and to avoid concurrent use with other drugs that may cause liver toxicity.
