Drug Interactions between glasdegib and ticagrelor

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.
