MONITOR CLOSELY: Osimertinib may cause dose-related prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with other agents that can prolong the QT interval may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death. In two premarketing studies with 411 patients, one patient (0.2%) was found to have a QTc greater than 500 msec, and 11 patients (2.7%) had an increase from baseline QTc greater than 60 msec. A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis performed in 210 patients from one of the studies suggested a concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation of 14 msec at a dose of 80 mg daily. In general, the risk of an individual agent or a combination of agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors such as congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia). Moreover, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation is dependent on the particular drug(s) involved and dosage(s) of the drug(s).

MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended if osimertinib is used in combination with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval. ECG and serum electrolytes, including potassium, magnesium and calcium, should be monitored before starting osimertinib therapy and periodically during treatment. Osimertinib should not be started if baseline QTc is greater than 500 msec. Likewise, treatment should be interrupted and adjusted in accordance with the product labeling in patients who develop QTc prolongation greater than 500 msec. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. Permanently discontinue osimertinib in patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with life-threatening arrhythmia.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

glasdegib food

Applies to: glasdegib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of glasdegib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruit. When glasdegib was coadministered with ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, glasdegib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.4- and 2.4-fold, respectively, compared to administration of glasdegib alone. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

When administered with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (800 to 1000 total calories, 500 to 600 fat calories, 250 carbohydrate calories, and 150 protein calories), glasdegib Cmax and AUC decreased by 31% and 16%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Glasdegib may be administered with or without food. Coadministration of grapefruit or grapefruit juice with glasdegib should preferably be avoided.

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.
