Interactions between your drugs
ibrutinib mavorixafor
Applies to: Imbruvica (ibrutinib) and mavorixafor
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of mavorixafor, which is both a substrate of the P-gp transporter and primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. When a single dose of mavorixafor (200 mg) was coadministered with the strong CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor itraconazole (200 mg at steady state), mavorixafor's systemic exposure (AUC) increased approximately 2-fold. The resulting AUC was similar to that expected from a single dose of 400 mg given alone to healthy subjects. Clinical data with drugs that are less potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp are not available. As mavorixafor causes concentration-dependent QT interval prolongation, an increase in its AUC could increase the risk of experiencing this adverse effect.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring for adverse effects associated with mavorixafor, such as QT prolongation, are advised if concurrent use with a P-gp and/or CYP450 3A4 inhibitor is required. Any modifiable risk factors for QT prolongation, such as electrolyte abnormalities, should be corrected. The QTc (QT interval corrected for heart rate) should be assessed at baseline and as clinically indicated during concomitant therapy. In addition, the labeling for each medication should be consulted as changes in the QTc interval may require dose adjustments or discontinuation of the drug(s) suspected to be at fault.
Drug and food interactions
ibrutinib food
Applies to: Imbruvica (ibrutinib)
Ibrutinib should be taken once daily at approximately the same time everyday. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or Seville oranges unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit and Seville oranges may significantly increase the blood levels of ibrutinib. This may increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, hemorrhage, kidney problems, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. You should contact your doctor if you develop paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination. Also seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs and symptoms that may suggest kidney damage such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, increased or decreased urination, sudden weight gain or weight loss, fluid retention, swelling, shortness of breath, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, and irregular heart rhythm. 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.
mavorixafor food
Applies to: mavorixafor
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit products may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and effects of mavorixafor, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. A study examining mavorixafor in combination with the strong CYP450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor, itraconazole, suggests an increase in mavorixafor's systemic exposure (AUC) of approximately 2-fold. Clinical data with grapefruit products are not available. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit are subject to a high degree of interpatient variability and can also be affected by the product and amount consumed; therefore, the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict. Additionally, since mavorixafor is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may significantly reduce the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of mavorixafor. When a single-dose of mavorixafor (400 mg) was administered with a high-fat meal (1000 calories, 50% fat) to healthy subjects, the Cmax and AUC decreased by 66% and 55%, respectively. Similarly, when the same dose was given with a low-fat meal (500 calories, 25% fat) to healthy subjects, mavorixafor's Cmax and AUC decreased by 55% and 51%, respectively. Additionally, a single dose of mavorixafor (400 mg) administered with a low-fat meal to healthy subjects following an overnight fast resulted in a 14% higher Cmax and an 18% lower AUC than those obtained from subjects who fasted for an additional 4 hours after the dose.
MANAGEMENT: Mavorixafor should be taken on an empty stomach after an overnight fast, 30 minutes before food. Patients should be advised to avoid eating or drinking products containing grapefruit, as this could increase the risk of experiencing adverse effects from mavorixafor such as QT prolongation.
