Drug Interactions between enfortumab vedotin and Omeclamox-Pak

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 or dual P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). Enfortumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that releases MMAE, a microtubule-disrupting agent believed to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, via proteolytic cleavage. MMAE has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4 as well as being a substrate of P-gp. According to physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, concomitant use of enfortumab vedotin with ketoconazole, a dual P-gp and strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase unconjugated MMAE peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 15% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 38%, with no change in ADC exposure. In one case report, a 70-year-old man on stable doses of raltegravir and the CYP450 3A4 inhibitors darunavir and ritonavir, experienced severe toxicity after receiving 2 infusions of enfortumab vedotin (1.25 mg/kg on days 1 and 8 of his 28-day cycle). He was hospitalized with a severe generalized pruritic rash, thrush, mucositis, anorexia, diarrhea, acute kidney injury, and pancytopenia. Enfortumab vedotin was withheld and the patient returned to baseline after being treated with supportive measures. About a year later, he was rechallenged with enfortumab vedotin while on an antiretroviral regimen consisting of dolutegravir, doravirine, and valacyclovir. He was able to tolerate a reduced dose of 1 mg/kg, with mild expected toxicity including skin blisters and peripheral neuropathy.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when enfortumab vedotin is used concomitantly with either potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or dual P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities including, but not limited to skin reactions (maculopapular rash, pruritus, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), bullous dermatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)); hyperglycemia (including diabetic ketoacidosis); pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease; peripheral neuropathy; and ocular disorders (dry eyes, keratitis, blurred vision, limbal stem cell deficiency). Refer to the product labeling for dose adjustment or discontinuation of therapy recommendations depending on the severity or Grade of the adverse reactions, should they occur.

Although some in vitro data indicate synergism between macrolide antibiotics and penicillins, other in vitro data indicate antagonism. When these drugs are given together, neither has predictable therapeutic efficacy. Data are available for erythromycin, although theoretically this interaction could occur with any macrolide. Except for monitoring of the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, no special precautions appear to be necessary.

Clarithromycin may increase and prolong the omeprazole plasma concentration. The mechanism may be related to clarithromycin inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for omeprazole metabolism. Coadministration of omeprazole may result in an increase in clarithromycin and 14-(R)-hydroxyclarithromycin plasma concentrations. These increases may be due to the effect of omeprazole on gastric pH.
