Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

mumps skin test antigen obinutuzumab

Applies to: mumps skin test antigen and Gazyva (obinutuzumab)

If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with obinutuzumab, you should let your doctor know before receiving mumps skin test antigen. Depending on the dose and length of time you have been on obinutuzumab, you may have a reduced response to the skin test. 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

No alcohol/food interactions were found. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.

Disease interactions

5 potential interactions Applies to: 5 conditions, including Infection, Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts, Infectious Hepatitis, Pulmonary Impairment, and Tumor Lysis Syndrome.

Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

Moderate:

Gazyva

The obinutuzumab in Gazyva has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Severe neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia have been documented with the use of anti-CD20 antibodies. Monitor complete blood counts during and after therapy according to clinical guidelines.

Infection

Major:

Gazyva

The obinutuzumab in Gazyva has a major potential interaction with Infection.

Serious infections, including reactivation of viral infections, have been reported with the use of anti-CD20 antibodies. JC virus infections resulting in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) have been reported in patients treated with these agents. A diagnosis of PML should be considered in any patient presenting with new-onset neurological manifestations, and a consultation with a neurologist is recommended. Care should be exercised when giving these drugs to patients with a history of recurring or chronic infections as they are at an increased risk of infections. Do not start therapy in patients with an active infection.

Infectious Hepatitis

Major:

Gazyva

The obinutuzumab in Gazyva has a major potential interaction with Infectious Hepatitis.

The use of anti-CD20 antibodies has caused reactivation of hepatitis B virus, in some cases with fatal outcomes. It is recommended to screen all patients for hepatitis B virus infection before initiating treatment. Monitor patients during, and after several months for hepatitis B virus infection according to clinical practice. Discontinue these agents immediately and institute appropriate treatment if patients develop reactivation of hepatitis B virus while on therapy.

Pulmonary Impairment

Moderate:

Gazyva

The obinutuzumab in Gazyva has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.

Patients with a prior history of cardiac or pulmonary disease should be closely monitored during and after the infusion of anti-CD20 antibodies as they can increase the risk of presenting a severe and life-threatening infusion reaction. Therapy with these agents should be permanently discontinued in patients presenting any Grade 4 infusion reactions and for those presenting Grade 3, interrupt therapy and institute treatment according to clinical guidelines. The rate of infusion should be reduced for those patients presenting Grade 1, or 2 reactions.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome

Major:

Gazyva

The obinutuzumab in Gazyva has a major potential interaction with Tumor Lysis Syndrome.

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), which may be life-threatening or fatal, has occurred in patients receiving certain monoclonal antibodies. Patients with high tumor burden and/or high circulating lymphocyte counts (greater than 25 x 10[9]/L) are at greater risk for developing TLS. Tumor lysis prophylaxis with anti-hyperuricemics and hydration prior to infusion may be recommended or should be considered. Electrolyte abnormalities should be corrected, and renal function and fluid balance should be monitored in patients who develop TLS. It is recommended to monitor for signs/symptoms of TLS, and temporary interruption or discontinuation of therapy might be required.

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.
