Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

digoxin sotorasib

Applies to: Digitek (digoxin) and sotorasib

MONITOR: Coadministration with sotorasib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) membrane transporters. The proposed mechanism involves enhanced absorption and bioavailability of substrate drugs due to inhibition of intestinal P-gp- and BCRP-mediated efflux by sotorasib. Inhibition of P-gp and BCRP transport in other organs such as the liver and kidney may also contribute in some cases, especially for non-oral drugs. When digoxin, a sensitive P-gp substrate, was coadministered with sotorasib, digoxin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 91% and 21%, respectively. When rosuvastatin, a BCRP substrate, was coadministered with sotorasib, rosuvastatin Cmax and AUC increased by 70% and 34%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when sotorasib is used concurrently with drugs that are P-gp and/or BCRP substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. The prescribing information recommends avoiding coadministration of sotorasib with P-gp and BCRP substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration is required, dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever sotorasib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration of a P-gp and BCRP inhibitor like sotorasib and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

digoxin food

Applies to: Digitek (digoxin)

Administration of digoxin with a high-fiber meal has been shown to decrease its bioavailability by almost 20%. Fiber can sequester up to 45% of the drug when given orally. Patients should be advised to maintain a regular diet without significant fluctuation in fiber intake while digoxin is being titrated.

Grapefruit juice may modestly increase the plasma concentrations of digoxin. The mechanism is increased absorption of digoxin due to mild inhibition of intestinal P-glycoprotein by certain compounds present in grapefruits. In 12 healthy volunteers, administration of grapefruit juice with and 30 minutes before, as well as 3.5, 7.5, and 11.5 hours after a single digoxin dose (0.5 mg) increased the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of digoxin by just 9% compared to administration with water. Moreover, P-glycoprotein genetic polymorphism does not appear to influence the magnitude of the effects of grapefruit juice on digoxin. Thus, the interaction is unlikely to be of clinical significance.

sotorasib food

Applies to: sotorasib

Food does not appear to have a clinically significant effect on the oral bioavailability of sotorasib. When a 960 mg dose of sotorasib was administered to study patients with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively), sotorasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change while systemic exposure (AUC 0-24 hours) increased by 25% compared to administration under fasted conditions. Sotorasib can be administered with or without food at approximately the same time each day.

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.
