Interactions between your drugs
miFEPRIStone tisotumab vedotin
Applies to: Mifeprex (mifepristone) and tisotumab vedotin
MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), the anti-mitotic and cytotoxic component of tisotumab vedotin. Tisotumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that releases MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and MMAE has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Although tisotumab vedotin has not been studied with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, data for another ADC that contains MMAE (brentuximab vedotin) have been reported. When brentuximab vedotin was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole, MMAE peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 25% and 34%, respectively, with no change in ADC exposure. Using a model-based approach to account for the fact that MMAE exposures are decreased after multiple doses by 20% to 50% compared to the first dose, the adjusted increase in MMAE AUC by ketoconazole is predicted to be 73%. Similar effects on unconjugated MMAE and ADC are expected for tisotumab vedotin when coadministered with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tisotumab vedotin is used concomitantly with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities such as ocular disorders (dry eyes, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, corneal ulceration, blurred vision, vision loss), peripheral neuropathy, hemorrhage and pneumonitis, and the dosing of tisotumab vedotin adjusted or withheld as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions
miFEPRIStone food
Applies to: Mifeprex (mifepristone)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of mifepristone.
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of mifepristone. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.
MANAGEMENT: When mifepristone is used daily to control hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome, it should be taken with food to achieve consistent plasma drug levels. Patients should be advised to avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with mifepristone, as it may cause increased adverse effects such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea, hypokalemia, adrenal insufficiency, vaginal bleeding, arthralgia, peripheral edema, and hypertension. Because mifepristone is eliminated slowly from the body, the interaction with grapefruit juice may be observed for a prolonged period.
