Drug Interactions between emtricitabine / lopinavir / ritonavir / tenofovir and Ibrance

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may modestly affect the bioavailability of ritonavir from the various available formulations. When the oral solution was given under nonfasting conditions, peak ritonavir concentrations decreased 23% and the extent of absorption decreased 7% relative to fasting conditions. Dilution of the oral solution (within one hour of dosing) with 240 mL of chocolate milk or a nutritional supplement (Advera or Ensure) did not significantly affect the extent and rate of ritonavir absorption. When a single 100 mg dose of the tablet was administered with a high-fat meal (907 kcal; 52% fat, 15% protein, 33% carbohydrates), approximately 20% decreases in mean peak concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were observed relative to administration after fasting. Similar decreases in Cmax and AUC were reported when the tablet was administered with a moderate-fat meal. In contrast, the extent of absorption of ritonavir from the soft gelatin capsule formulation was 13% higher when administered with a meal (615 KCal; 14.5% fat, 9% protein, and 76% carbohydrate) relative to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Ritonavir should be taken with meals to enhance gastrointestinal tolerability.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly increases the bioavailability of lopinavir from the oral solution formulation of lopinavir-ritonavir. Relative to fasting, administration of lopinavir-ritonavir oral solution with a moderate-fat meal (500 to 682 Kcal; 23% to 25% calories from fat) increased lopinavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 54% and 80%, respectively, whereas administration with a high-fat meal (872 Kcal; 56% from fat) increased lopinavir Cmax and AUC by 56% and 130%, respectively. No clinically significant changes in Cmax and AUC were observed following administration of lopinavir-ritonavir tablets under fed conditions versus fasted conditions. Relative to fasting, administration of a single 400 mg-100 mg dose (two 200 mg-50 mg tablets) with a moderate-fat meal (558 Kcal; 24.1% calories from fat) increased lopinavir Cmax and AUC by 17.6% and 26.9%, respectively, while administration with a high-fat meal (998 Kcal; 51.3% from fat) increased lopinavir AUC by 18.9% but not Cmax. Relative to fasting, ritonavir Cmax and AUC also increased by 4.9% and 14.9%, respectively, with the moderate-fat meal and 10.3% and 23.9%, respectively, with the high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: Lopinavir-ritonavir oral solution should be taken with meals to enhance bioavailability and minimize pharmacokinetic variability. Lopinavir-ritonavir tablets may be taken without regard to meals.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and/or grapefruit juice may increase the systemic exposure to palbociclib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Increased exposure to palbociclib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as infections, neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, alopecia, asthenia, peripheral neuropathy, and epistaxis.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may enhance the oral bioavailability of palbociclib capsules and reduce the intersubject variability of palbociclib exposure. According to the product labeling, absorption and exposure of palbociclib from its oral capsule formulation were very low in approximately 13% of the population when taken in the fasted state. Food intake increased the palbociclib exposure in this small subset of the population but did not alter exposure in the rest of the population to a clinically relevant extent. Compared to palbociclib capsules given under overnight fasted conditions, the population average palbociclib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 38% and 21%, respectively, when given with high-fat, high-calorie food (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate and fat, respectively); by 27% and 12%, respectively, when given with low-fat, low-calorie food (approximately 400 to 500 calories; 120, 250, and 28 to 35 calories from protein, carbohydrate and fat, respectively); and by 24% and 13%, respectively, when given with moderate-fat, standard calorie food (approximately 500 to 700 calories; 75 to 105, 250 to 350 and 175 to 245 calories from protein, carbohydrate and fat, respectively) one hour before and two hours after palbociclib capsule dosing.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice while on treatment with palbociclib. To avoid variability in drug absorption between doses, palbociclib capsules should be taken with food. Palbociclib tablet formulations may be taken with or without food.

Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.
