Futibatinib may increase the blood levels of everolimus.

You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications.

Let your doctor know if your condition changes or you experience new or worsening side effects of everolimus such as mouth ulcers, fever, infection, shortness of breath, diarrhea, dizziness, paleness, fainting, and/or unusual bleeding or bruising while taking these medications.

It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Major food/lifestyle interactions

Major:

futibatinib Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: Lytgobi (futibatinib)

Consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with futibatinib is not recommended. These foods may significantly increase the blood levels and effects of futibatinib.

This may increase the risk of side effects such as:

  • eye problems
  • high phosphate levels in your blood
  • skin and nail problems
  • urinary tract infection
  • stomach and bowel problems
  • fatigue
  • muscle or joint pain
  • low blood cell counts
  • changes in liver function tests

Be sure to take the medication at approximately the same time every day to maintain consistent blood levels and effects.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

everolimus Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: everolimus

Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels and effects of everolimus.

You should not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruits during your treatment with everolimus.

Orange juice is not expected to interact.

Disease interactions

11 potential interactions Applies to: 9 conditions, including High Cholesterol, Diabetes Mellitus, Liver Disease, Infection, and Brain Tumor.

Brain Tumor

Moderate:

everolimus

Everolimus has a moderate potential interaction with Brain Tumor.

Inhibition of mTOR activity results in delays of wound healing and increases the occurrence of wound-related complications, which might require surgical intervention. Patients with central nervous system tumors (primary CNS tumor or metastases) and/or receiving anticoagulation therapy may be at an increased risk of developing intracerebral bleeding (including fatal outcomes). Caution is recommended when using these agents, particularly in the perioperative period.

Coagulation Defects and Disorders

Moderate:

everolimus

Everolimus has a moderate potential interaction with Coagulation Defects and Disorders.

Inhibition of mTOR activity results in delays of wound healing and increases the occurrence of wound-related complications, which might require surgical intervention. Patients with central nervous system tumors (primary CNS tumor or metastases) and/or receiving anticoagulation therapy may be at an increased risk of developing intracerebral bleeding (including fatal outcomes). Caution is recommended when using these agents, particularly in the perioperative period.

Diabetes Mellitus

Moderate:

everolimus

Everolimus has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Elevations in serum blood glucose levels have been reported in patients taking inhibitors of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). Monitoring of fasting serum glucose levels is recommended prior to the start of therapy and periodically thereafter. Clinicians should achieve control of glucose levels before initiating therapy with these agents.

High Cholesterol

Moderate:

everolimus

Everolimus has a moderate potential interaction with High Cholesterol.

Elevations in cholesterol and triglyceride levels have been reported in patients taking inhibitors of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). Monitoring of fasting lipid profile is recommended prior to the start of therapy and periodically thereafter. Clinicians should achieve control of lipid levels before initiating therapy with these agents.

Immunodeficiency

Moderate:

everolimus

Everolimus has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.

Hematologic abnormalities, including decreased levels of hemoglobin, lymphocytes, platelets, and white blood cell have been observed in patients taking everolimus. Caution is recommended when treating patients predisposed to hematologic changes. Periodic monitoring of complete blood count is recommended before starting therapy and periodically thereafter.

Infection

Moderate:

everolimus

Everolimus has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

The immunosuppressant effect of inhibitors of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) may decrease host resistance to infectious agents and may predispose patients to bacterial, fungal, viral, or protozoal infections, infections with opportunistic pathogens, and reactivation of viral infections. Therapy with these agents should be administered with caution in patients with an infection, particularly active infections or any untreated systemic fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection. It is recommended to complete the treatment of preexisting invasive fungal infections prior to starting treatment and if a diagnosis of invasive systemic fungal infection is made during treatment, discontinue and treat with appropriate antifungal therapy.

Liver Disease

Major:

everolimus

Everolimus has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Everolimus exposure was increased in patients with mild (Child-Pugh class A), moderate (Child-Pugh class B), and severe (Child-Pugh class C) hepatic impairment. In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, a dose reduction is recommended. Patients with severe hepatic impairment, everolimus may be used at a reduced dose if the desired benefit outweighs the risk.

Moderate:

Lytgobi

The futibatinib in Lytgobi has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Futibatinib unbound exposure is increased in patients with cirrhosis and total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 x ULN, and these patients may have an increased risk of adverse reactions. The effect of moderate to severe hepatic impairment without cirrhosis on futibatinib pharmacokinetics is unknown. There are limited data for futibatinib in patients with total bilirubin greater than 1.5 x ULN; patients with cholangiocarcinoma with total bilirubin greater than 3 x ULN were excluded from clinical studies.

Renal Dysfunction

Major:

everolimus

Everolimus has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Cases of renal failure, including acute renal failure and elevations of serum creatinine and proteinuria, some with a fatal outcome, have been observed in patients treated with inhibitors of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients with renal dysfunction, in particularly where patients have additional risk factors that may further impair renal function. Renal impairment is not expected to influence drug exposure, and no dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with renal impairment. Monitoring of renal function, including measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary protein, or serum creatinine, is recommended prior to the start of therapy and periodically thereafter.

Moderate:

Lytgobi

The futibatinib in Lytgobi has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The pharmacokinetics of futibatinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 15 to 29 mL/min) or renal dialysis in end-stage renal disease (CrCl less than 15 mL/min).

Vaccination

Major:

everolimus

Everolimus has a major potential interaction with Vaccination.

The administration of live vaccines should be avoided during therapy with inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). It is recommended that close contact with individuals who have received live vaccines should be avoided because of the potential risk for shedding from the household contact and transmission to patient. It is recommended to be up-to-date with all required immunizations, as recommended by current immunization guidelines, before initiating therapy with these agents.
