Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ibrutinib glofitamab

Applies to: ibrutinib and glofitamab

MONITOR: Coadministration with glofitamab may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes. Initiation of glofitamab treatment causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 isoenzymes, although the potential for an interaction has not been studied. According to the manufacturer, the highest drug-drug interaction risk would be from the first dose on day 8 of cycle 1, up to 14 days after the first 30 mg dose on day 1 of cycle 2, as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when glofitamab is administered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 isoenzymes, particularly sensitive CYP450 substrates and/or those with a narrow therapeutic range, where minimal changes to concentration may lead to significant adverse reactions, such as carbamazepine, colchicine, cyclosporine, disopyramide, phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, warfarin, macrolide immunosuppressants, vinca alkaloids, and some narcotic analgesics. Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring are recommended, particularly at the initial phase of treatment with glofitamab as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome, and individual product labeling for the CYP450 substrate(s) should be consulted for specific dosage adjustment recommendations.

Drug and food interactions

Major

ibrutinib food

Applies to: ibrutinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or Seville oranges may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of ibrutinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Pharmacokinetic modeling suggests that other moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as diltiazem and erythromycin may increase ibrutinib systemic exposure (AUC) by 6- to 9-fold under fasting condition. The safety and efficacy of these exposures are unknown. The highest ibrutinib dose evaluated in clinical trials was 12.5 mg/kg (actual doses of 840 to 1400 mg) given for 28 days, which yielded single dose AUC values that were approximately 50% greater than steady-state exposures seen at the highest indicated dose of 560 mg.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of ibrutinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. According to the product labeling, administration with food increases ibrutinib exposure approximately 2-fold compared to administration after overnight fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ibrutinib should avoid consumption of Seville oranges, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. Ibrutinib should be taken once daily at approximately the same time each day.

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.
