Interactions between your drugs

Major

fosamprenavir polatuzumab vedotin

Applies to: fosamprenavir and polatuzumab vedotin

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase exposure to unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), the anti-mitotic and cytotoxic component of polatuzumab vedotin. Polatuzumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that releases MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and MMAE has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Concomitant use of polatuzumab vedotin with ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase unconjugated MMAE exposure (AUC) by 45% according to the product labeling. The risk and/or severity of toxicities of polatuzumab vedotin may increase.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when polatuzumab vedotin is used concomitantly with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities such as peripheral neuropathy, myelosuppression, opportunistic infections, tumor lysis syndrome and hepatotoxicity, and the dosing of polatuzumab vedotin adjusted or withheld as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

fosamprenavir food

Applies to: fosamprenavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the systemic bioavailability of amprenavir from fosamprenavir oral suspension. The mechanism of interaction has not been described. According to the product labeling, administration of fosamprenavir oral suspension (1400 mg single dose) with a high-fat meal (967 kcal, 67 g fat, 33 g protein, 58 g carbohydrate) reduced amprenavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 46% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 28% compared to administration in a fasted state. The time to reach peak plasma level (Tmax) was delayed by 0.72 hours. In contrast, the same high-fat meal did not affect the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir from fosamprenavir tablets.

MANAGEMENT: Fosamprenavir suspension should be administered on an empty stomach in adults, but with food in pediatric patients to aid palatability and compliance. If emesis occurs within 30 minutes after dosing the suspension, the dose should be repeated. Fosamprenavir tablets may be taken with or without food.

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.
