Interactions between Denosumab and Novantrone

The mitoXANTRONE in Novantrone has a major potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.

Mitoxantrone induces myelosuppression when administered at therapeutic doses indicated for treatment of leukemia. Leukopenia is the most profound hematologic side-effect. Thrombocytopenia is rare, but can be severe and erythrocytes do not appear to be significantly affected. Therapy with mitoxantrone should be withheld in patients whose bone marrow function is severely depressed by prior irradiation or chemotherapy or whose marrow function is recovering from previous cytotoxic therapy. If the need outweighs the risk, extreme caution should be exercised in administering mitoxantrone. Patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting bone marrow suppression such as fever, sore throat, local infection, or bleeding. Close clinical monitory of hematopoietic function is recommended.

The mitoXANTRONE in Novantrone has a major potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

The mitoXANTRONE in Novantrone has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.

Mitoxantrone can cause myocardial toxicity leading to congestive heart failure (CHF). Patients with preexisting heart disease, prior irradiation, previous therapy with related compounds such as daunorubicin, idarubicin or doxorubicin, or of advanced age are at increased risk of cardiotoxicity at a lower cumulative dose. The incidence of drug-induced congestive heart failure in adults is increased when the total cumulative dose of mitoxantrone exceeds 140 mg/m2. Close clinical monitoring of cardiac function, such as determination of left ventricular ejection fraction, prior to each course of therapy is recommended.

The mitoXANTRONE in Novantrone has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperuricemia Secondary to Chemotherapy.

Treatment with mitoxantrone may cause hyperuricemia as a result of rapid lysis of tumor cells. Levels of serum uric acid should be monitored and appropriate therapy should be initiated before starting therapy.

Denosumab has a major potential interaction with Hypocalcemia.

Preexisting hypocalcemia must be corrected prior to initiating treatment with denosumab. Caution should be exercised in patients predisposed to hypocalcemia and any disturbances of mineral metabolism, such as history of hypoparathyroidism, thyroid or parathyroid surgery, malabsorption syndromes, excision of small intestine, severe renal impairment or dialysis. Clinical monitoring of calcium and mineral levels (phosphorus and magnesium) are highly recommended within 14 days of denosumab injection. It is important to maintain calcium levels with adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation.

It is important to maintain calcium levels with adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation.

Denosumab has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.

Denosumab should be used with caution in patients with impaired immune systems or taking concomitant immunosuppressant agents as they may be at increased risk for serious infections.

The mitoXANTRONE in Novantrone has a major potential interaction with Infection.

Because of their cytotoxic effects on rapidly proliferating tissues, antineoplastic agents frequently can, to varying extent, induce myelosuppression. The use of these drugs may be contraindicated in patients with known infectious diseases. All patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting infection such as fever, sore throat, or local infection during antineoplastic therapy. Close clinical monitoring of hematopoietic function is recommended.

The mitoXANTRONE in Novantrone has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Hepatic impairment reduces mitoxantrone clearance. Patients with severe hepatic dysfunction (bilirubin > 3.4 mg/dL) have an AUC more than three times greater than that of patients with normal hepatic function receiving the same dose. Therapy with mitoxantrone should be administered cautiously to patients with significantly compromised hepatic function.

Denosumab has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Preexisting hypocalcemia must be corrected prior to initiating treatment with denosumab. Caution should be exercised in patients predisposed to hypocalcemia and any disturbances of mineral metabolism, such as history of hypoparathyroidism, thyroid or parathyroid surgery, malabsorption syndromes, excision of small intestine, severe renal impairment or dialysis.
