Drug interactions
Major drug interactions
Major:
nefazodone taletrectinib
Applies to: nefazodone and Ibtrozi (taletrectinib)
Generally avoid
Coadministration with potent and moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of taletrectinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a clinical study, taletrectinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 1.8-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 3.3-fold following concomitant administration of itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A inhibitor. According to the product labeling, administration of taletrectinib with a moderate CYP450 3A inhibitor is predicted to increase taletrectinib Cmax and AUC by up to 1.5- and 2.6-fold, respectively. Increased exposure to taletrectinib may increase the risk and/or severity of adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity with liver enzyme elevations, lung toxicities, QT prolongation, hyperuricemia, myalgia with creatine phosphokinase elevation, and skeletal fractures.
Management
Concomitant use of taletrectinib with potent and moderate CYP450 3A inhibitors should be avoided.

Food/lifestyle interactions
Major food/lifestyle interactions
Major:
taletrectinib Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: Ibtrozi (taletrectinib)
Generally avoid
Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of taletrectinib. The proposed mechanism for the interaction is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. In a clinical study, taletrectinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 1.8-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 3.3-fold following concomitant administration of itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A inhibitor. According to the product labeling, administration of taletrectinib with a moderate CYP450 3A inhibitor is predicted to increase taletrectinib Cmax and AUC by up to 1.5- and 2.6-fold, respectively. Increased exposure to taletrectinib may increase the risk and/or severity of adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity with liver enzyme elevations, lung toxicities, QT prolongation, hyperuricemia, myalgia with creatine phosphokinase elevation, and skeletal fractures.
Adjust dosing interval
Coadministration with high-fat food (1000 calories, 50% fat) increased taletrectinib Cmax and AUC by 1.5-fold, and the predicted increase in the QTc interval is 20.5 msec.
Management
The manufacturer recommends avoiding food or drink containing grapefruit during treatment with taletrectinib. In addition, taletrectinib should be administered on an empty stomach at about the same time each day, at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after food intake.

Liver Disease
Major:
nefazodone
Nefazodone has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
In general, treatment with nefazodone should not be initiated in patients with active liver disease or elevated baseline serum transaminase levels. Cases of hepatic failure resulting in death or liver transplant, at an estimated rate of 1 per 250,000 to 300,000 patient-years of nefazodone treatment in the U.S. (approximately 3 to 4 times the background rate), have been reported during postmarketing use. The time to liver injury for the reported cases typically ranged from 2 weeks to 6 months of use. Dark urine and nonspecific prodromal symptoms (e.g., nausea, anorexia, malaise, gastrointestinal complaints) were reported in some, but not all, cases prior to the onset of jaundice. There is no evidence that preexisting liver disease increases the likelihood of developing liver failure. However, baseline abnormalities can delay the recognition or confound the diagnosis of a drug-induced hepatotoxic effect, thus use of nefazodone is discouraged in this population. In patients who do receive nefazodone therapy, routine liver function testing should be considered to permit early detection of hepatic injury. Nefazodone therapy should be promptly discontinued if clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of liver injury occur, or if serum transaminase levels exceed 3 times the upper limit of normal. Therapy should be permanently discontinued in patients with presumed or confirmed drug-induced hepatotoxicity. In addition, the use of nefazodone is contraindicated in patients who were withdrawn from nefazodone because of evidence of liver injury.
Moderate:
Ibtrozi
The taletrectinib in Ibtrozi has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
The effect of moderate liver dysfunction (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 x ULN with any AST) or severe liver dysfunction (total bilirubin greater than 3 x ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of taletrectinib is unknown. No clinically significant PK differences were observed based on mild liver dysfunction. Taletrectinib can cause hepatotoxicity, including drug-induced liver injury. Monitor liver function tests including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin at baseline and as recommended by the manufacturer.
Long QT Syndrome
Moderate:
Ibtrozi
The taletrectinib in Ibtrozi has a moderate potential interaction with Long QT Syndrome.
Taletrectinib can cause QTc interval prolongation, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death. In patients with risk factors for QT prolongation such as long QT syndromes, clinically significant bradyarrhythmias, or severe/uncontrolled heart failure, the frequency of monitoring should be adjusted accordingly. Prior to therapy, monitor ECGs and electrolytes in all patients and then periodically as indicated.
Mania
Moderate:
