Drug Interactions between futibatinib and lapatinib

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.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food can significantly increase the oral bioavailability of lapatinib. According to the manufacturer, lapatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was approximately 2.5- and 3-fold higher and systemic exposure (AUC) 3- and 4-fold higher when administered with a low fat meal (5% fat; 500 calories) or with a high-fat meal (50% fat; 1000 calories), respectively, compared to fasting. Dividing the daily dose also resulted in an approximately 2-fold higher systemic exposure at steady state compared to the same total dose administered once daily.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with lapatinib should preferably avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice. The manufacturer recommends that lapatinib be administered at least one hour before or one hour after a meal. The lapatinib dose is administered once daily and should not be divided.
