Interactions between your drugs

Major

ritonavir futibatinib

Applies to: nirmatrelvir / ritonavir and futibatinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 that can also inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of futibatinib. Futibatinib is a substrate of both the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and P-gp efflux transporter. Drug interaction studies have shown that single dose administration of futibatinib with multiple doses of itraconazole, a combined potent P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased futibatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 51% and 41%, respectively, compared to futibatinib alone. Increased exposure to futibatinib may increase the risk and severity 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: Concomitant use of futibatinib with dual P-gp and potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 should generally be avoided.

nirmatrelvir futibatinib

Applies to: nirmatrelvir / ritonavir and futibatinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 that can also inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of futibatinib. Futibatinib is a substrate of both the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and P-gp efflux transporter. Drug interaction studies have shown that single dose administration of futibatinib with multiple doses of itraconazole, a combined potent P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased futibatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 51% and 41%, respectively, compared to futibatinib alone. Increased exposure to futibatinib may increase the risk and severity 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. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent dual inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and P-gp.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when futibatinib is used with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 that can also inhibit P-gp. Clinical and laboratory monitoring for the development of adverse effects is recommended and the futibatinib dosage adjusted as necessary.

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.

ritonavir food

Applies to: nirmatrelvir / ritonavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may modestly affect the bioavailability of ritonavir from the various available formulations. When the oral solution was given under nonfasting conditions, peak ritonavir concentrations decreased 23% and the extent of absorption decreased 7% relative to fasting conditions. Dilution of the oral solution (within one hour of dosing) with 240 mL of chocolate milk or a nutritional supplement (Advera or Ensure) did not significantly affect the extent and rate of ritonavir absorption. When a single 100 mg dose of the tablet was administered with a high-fat meal (907 kcal; 52% fat, 15% protein, 33% carbohydrates), approximately 20% decreases in mean peak concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were observed relative to administration after fasting. Similar decreases in Cmax and AUC were reported when the tablet was administered with a moderate-fat meal. In contrast, the extent of absorption of ritonavir from the soft gelatin capsule formulation was 13% higher when administered with a meal (615 KCal; 14.5% fat, 9% protein, and 76% carbohydrate) relative to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Ritonavir should be taken with meals to enhance gastrointestinal tolerability.

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.
