Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of pemigatinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme in vitro. When itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, was administered following a single oral pemigatinib dose of 4.5 mg, pemigatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 17% and 88%, respectively. Concomitant use of moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors is predicted to increase pemigatinib exposure by approximately 50% to 80%. Increased exposure to pemigatinib may increase the incidence and severity of serious adverse reactions such as hyperphosphatemia (which can cause precipitation of calcium-phosphate crystals over time that can lead to hypocalcemia, soft tissue mineralization such as cutaneous calcification and calcinosis, secondary hyperparathyroidism, anemia, muscle cramps, seizures, QT prolongation, and arrhythmias), serous retinal detachment (which may cause symptoms such as blurred vision, visual floaters, or photopsia), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (hand-foot syndrome), arthralgia, stomatitis, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of pemigatinib with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should be avoided. If coadministration is required, a reduction in the dosage of pemigatinib is recommended. Patients receiving 13.5 mg of pemigatinib should have the dosage reduced to 9 mg, and those receiving 9 mg should have the dosage reduced to 4.5 mg. After discontinuation of the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor for 3 plasma half-lives, the pemigatinib dosage that was taken prior to initiating the inhibitor may be resumed.

Drug and food interactions
pemigatinib food
Applies to: pemigatinib
Pemigatinib may be taken with or without food. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with pemigatinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of pemigatinib. This may increase the frequency and severity of serious side effects such as elevated phosphate levels in the blood (which can eventually lead to low blood calcium levels; calcium deposits in the skin, muscles, and other tissues; anemia; muscle cramps; seizures; and irregular heart rhythm), eye and vision problems, joint pain, mouth sores and inflammation, hair loss, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.
