Drug Interactions between entrectinib and tolterodine

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Entrectinib may cause dose-related prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with other agents that can prolong the QT interval may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death. Of 355 patients who received entrectinib in clinical trials at dosages ranging from 100 mg to 2600 mg daily (75% received 600 mg orally once daily), 3.1% of patients with at least one post-baseline QTc measurement experienced QTcF interval prolongation of >60 msec and 0.6% had a QTcF interval >500 msec. In general, the risk of an individual agent or a combination of agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors such as congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia). In addition, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation is dependent on the particular drug(s) involved and dosage(s) of the drug(s).

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of entrectinib with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval should generally be avoided. Caution and clinical monitoring are recommended if concomitant use is required. Patients should have electrocardiograms (ECGs) performed prior to initiation of entrectinib, after 1 month of treatment with entrectinib, and periodically during treatment as appropriate based on individual risk factors. Some authorities suggest that if the QTc interval is between 481 to 500 msec at any time during treatment, entrectinib should be withheld until QTc is recovered to baseline at which time treatment at the same dose may be resumed (AU, UK). If the QTc is greater than 500 msec, entrectinib should be withheld until the QTc interval recovers to baseline at which time the same dose may be resumed if factors that caused the QT prolongation are corrected. However, if these factors are not identified and corrected, entrectinib should be resumed at a reduced dose. Entrectinib should be permanently discontinued in patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia such as torsade de pointes or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Because hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are risk factors for ventricular arrhythmias, electrolyte levels should also be obtained prior to and during treatment, and any abnormalities corrected as necessary. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.
