Interactions between your drugs

Major

rolapitant encorafenib

Applies to: Varubi (rolapitant) and encorafenib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of rolapitant, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin was administered at 600 mg once daily for 7 days before and 7 days after a single 180 mg dose of rolapitant, mean rolapitant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure decreased by 30% and 85%, respectively, compared to administration of rolapitant alone. Mean half-life of rolapitant decreased from 176 hours to 41 hours with rifampin. Loss of therapeutic efficacy may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Rolapitant should not be used in patients who require chronic treatment with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers.

You should preferably avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking encorafenib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of encorafenib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as bleeding complications, eye and vision problems, liver problems, irregular heart rhythm, and development of new skin cancers. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.
