ivacaftor duvelisib

Applies to: ivacaftor / tezacaftor and duvelisib

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of ivacaftor, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In study subjects, ivacaftor peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 2.5- and 3.0-fold when it was administered concomitantly with fluconazole, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. When lumacaftor/ivacaftor was coadministered with ciprofloxacin, another moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, lumacaftor Cmax and AUC decreased by 12% and 14%, respectively, while ivacaftor Cmax and AUC increased by 29% each. These changes are not considered clinically significant. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulations suggest that coadministration with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase elexacaftor AUC by 1.9- to 2.3-fold and tezacaftor AUC by approximately 2.1-fold.

MANAGEMENT: Please consult manufacturer's product labeling for complete dosing information.
For ivacaftor - For patients aged 6 months and older the frequency of dosing should be reduced to 1 tablet or packet once a day when coadministered with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should continue to receive the same tablet or oral granule packet strength, but instead of dosing twice a day, the frequency should be reduced to once a day. For example, ivacaftor 150 mg twice a day should be 150 mg once a day, ivacaftor 50 mg twice a day should be 50 mg once a day, etc. Use of ivacaftor with moderate or strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors is not recommended in patients less than 6 months of age.
For lumacaftor/ivacaftor - No dosage adjustment is necessary when coadministered with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.
For tezacaftor/ivacaftor - The frequency of dosing should be reduced to a single morning dose of one tezacaftor/ivacaftor tablet alternating with one ivacaftor tablet every other morning during treatment with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The evening dose of ivacaftor should not be taken.
For elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor - The frequency of dosing should be reduced to a single morning dose of two elexacaftor /tezacaftor /ivacaftor tablets alternating with one ivacaftor tablet every other day during treatment with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The evening dose of ivacaftor should not be taken.

tezacaftor duvelisib

Applies to: ivacaftor / tezacaftor and duvelisib

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with potent or moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor and deutivacaftor, which are primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In clinical studies, itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 6.4-fold, tezacaftor AUC by 4 to 4.5-fold and deutivacaftor AUC by 11.1-fold. Erythromycin, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase vanzacaftor peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and AUC by 3.2- and 3.3-fold, respectively, and deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 2.9- and 4.1-fold, respectively. Likewise, fluconazole, another moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 2.6- and 2.5-fold; and 3.1- and 2.3-fold, respectively. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Please consult manufacturer's product labeling for complete dosing information.
For vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor:
- For patients 6 to less than 12 years old, weighing less than 40 kg:
Potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors: The dose should be reduced to two tablets of vanzacaftor 4 mg/tezacaftor 20 mg/deutivacaftor 50 mg once a week (total dose of vanzacaftor 8 mg/tezacaftor 40 mg/deutivacaftor 100mg).
Moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors: The dose should be reduced to two tablets of vanzacaftor 4 mg/tezacaftor 20 mg/deutivacaftor 50 mg every other day (total dose of vanzacaftor 8 mg/tezacaftor 40 mg/deutivacaftor 100 mg).

- For patients 6 years old to less than 12 years old, weighing 40 kg or more:
Potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors: The dose should be reduced to one tablet of vanzacaftor 10 mg/tezacaftor 50 mg/deutivacaftor 125 mg once a week.
Moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors: The dose should be reduced to one tablet of vanzacaftor 10 mg/tezacaftor 50 mg/deutivacaftor 125 mg every other day.

-For patients 12 years old and older:
Potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors: The dose should be reduced to one tablet of vanzacaftor 10 mg/tezacaftor 50 mg/deutivacaftor 125 mg once a week
Moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors: The dose should be reduced to one tablet of vanzacaftor 10 mg/tezacaftor 50 mg/deutivacaftor 125 mg every other day.

For tezacaftor/ivacaftor:
- The morning dose of tezacaftor/ivacaftor should be reduced to one tablet twice a week, approximately 3 to 4 days apart, and the evening ivacaftor dose should not be taken during treatment with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The frequency of dosing should be reduced to a single morning dose of one tezacaftor/ivacaftor tablet alternating with one ivacaftor tablet every other morning during treatment with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The evening dose of ivacaftor should not be taken.

For elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor:
- The morning dose of 2 elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor tablets once a day should be reduced to 2 tablets twice a week, approximately 3 to 4 days apart, and the evening ivacaftor dose should not be taken during treatment with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The frequency of dosing should be reduced to a single morning dose of two elexacaftor /tezacaftor /ivacaftor tablets alternating with one ivacaftor tablet every other day during treatment with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. The evening dose of ivacaftor should not be taken.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ivacaftor food

Applies to: ivacaftor / tezacaftor

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ivacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Elexacaftor and tezacaftor are also CYP450 3A4 substrates in vitro and may interact similarly with grapefruit juice, whereas lumacaftor is not expected to interact.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: According to prescribing information, systemic exposure to ivacaftor increased approximately 2.5- to 4-fold, systemic exposure to elexacaftor increased approximately 1.9- to 2.5-fold, and systemic exposure to lumacaftor increased approximately 2-fold following administration with fat-containing foods relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ivacaftor-containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit or Seville oranges. All ivacaftor-containing medications should be administered with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.

tezacaftor food

Applies to: ivacaftor / tezacaftor

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, and vanzacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with fat-containing food may increase the oral bioavailability of vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor. Administration with a fat containing meal increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 4- (low-fat meal) to 6- (high-fat meal) fold. While deutivacaftor AUC increased approximately 3- (low-fat meal) to 4- (high-fat meal) fold, relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, vanzacaftor -containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit. To improve absorption, patients should be advised to take vanzacaftor and/or deutivacaftor containing medications with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products at approximately the same time of the day. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.

duvelisib food

Applies to: duvelisib

MONITOR: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact with these drugs.
