Moderate

dronedarone tisotumab vedotin

Applies to: dronedarone and tisotumab vedotin

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), the anti-mitotic and cytotoxic component of tisotumab vedotin. Tisotumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that releases MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and MMAE has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Although tisotumab vedotin has not been studied with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, data for another ADC that contains MMAE (brentuximab vedotin) have been reported. When brentuximab vedotin was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole, MMAE peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 25% and 34%, respectively, with no change in ADC exposure. Using a model-based approach to account for the fact that MMAE exposures are decreased after multiple doses by 20% to 50% compared to the first dose, the adjusted increase in MMAE AUC by ketoconazole is predicted to be 73%. Similar effects on unconjugated MMAE and ADC are expected for tisotumab vedotin when coadministered with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. It is not known if, and to what extent, tisotumab vedotin may interact with less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tisotumab vedotin is used concomitantly with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities such as ocular disorders (dry eyes, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, corneal ulceration, blurred vision, vision loss), peripheral neuropathy, hemorrhage and pneumonitis, and the dosing of tisotumab vedotin adjusted or withheld as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions

Major

dronedarone food

Applies to: dronedarone

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of dronedarone. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. According to the product labeling, administration with grapefruit juice resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in dronedarone peak plasma concentration and a 3-fold increase in systemic exposure. Because dronedarone is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of dronedarone. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. According to the product labeling, the absolute bioavailability of dronedarone increases from about 4% when administered in the fasted state to approximately 15% when administered with a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with dronedarone should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. Dronedarone should be taken twice daily with the morning and evening meals.

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.
