Interactions between your drugs
eliglustat glofitamab
Applies to: eliglustat and glofitamab
MONITOR: Coadministration with glofitamab may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes. Initiation of glofitamab treatment causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 isoenzymes, although the potential for an interaction has not been studied. According to the manufacturer, the highest drug-drug interaction risk would be from the first dose on day 8 of cycle 1, up to 14 days after the first 30 mg dose on day 1 of cycle 2, as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when glofitamab is administered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 isoenzymes, particularly sensitive CYP450 substrates and/or those with a narrow therapeutic range, where minimal changes to concentration may lead to significant adverse reactions, such as carbamazepine, colchicine, cyclosporine, disopyramide, phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, warfarin, macrolide immunosuppressants, vinca alkaloids, and some narcotic analgesics. Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring are recommended, particularly at the initial phase of treatment with glofitamab as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome, and individual product labeling for the CYP450 substrate(s) should be consulted for specific dosage adjustment recommendations.

Drug and food interactions
eliglustat food
Applies to: eliglustat
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the systemic exposure to eliglustat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because eliglustat is predicted to cause prolongation of the PR, QTc, and QRS cardiac intervals at substantially elevated plasma concentrations, consumption of grapefruit juice during treatment may increase the risk of bradycardia, atrioventricular block, cardiac arrest, and serious ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with eliglustat should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice.
