Minor

fidaxomicin futibatinib

Applies to: fidaxomicin and futibatinib

Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of fidaxomicin and its main metabolite, OP-1118, both of which are substrates of the intestinal efflux transporter. When fidaxomicin 200 mg was administered in combination with cyclosporine 200 mg in 14 study subjects, fidaxomicin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by an average of 4.2- and 1.9-fold, respectively, compared to when administered alone. The Cmax and AUC of OP-1118 was increased by 9.5- and 4.1-fold, respectively, with cyclosporine. Theoretically, concentrations of fidaxomicin and OP-1118 may also be decreased at the site of action (i.e., gastrointestinal tract) due to P-gp inhibition. However, concomitant use of a P-gp inhibitor had no attributable effect on safety or efficacy of fidaxomicin in controlled clinical trials. No dosage adjustment is recommended when fidaxomicin is coadministered with P-gp inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Major

futibatinib food

Applies to: futibatinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of futibatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased exposure to futibatinib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as retinal pigment epithelial detachment, dry eye/corneal keratitis, pyrexia, hyperphosphatemia and soft tissue mineralization, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, fatigue, nail toxicity, urinary tract infection, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased liver function tests (ALT and AST), stomatitis, abdominal pain, ascites, bile duct obstruction, and musculoskeletal pain.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with futibatinib.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
