GENERALLY AVOID: Revumenib causes dose-related prolongation of the QT interval. Coadministration with other agents that can prolong the QT interval may result in additive effects and an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death. In clinical trials, QT interval prolongation was reported as an adverse reaction in 29% of patients treated with revumenib at the recommended dosage for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with a KMT2A translocation. Additionally, Grade 3 QT interval prolongation occurred in 12% of those patients and a greater than 60 msec increase in Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) from baseline was reported in 18% of patients. In general, the risk of an individual agent or a combination of agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors such as congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia). Moreover, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation is dependent on the particular drug(s) involved and dosage(s) of the drug(s).
ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of revumenib, which has been shown to be primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In pharmacokinetic studies in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, revumenib area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased 2-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors posaconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole, and 2.5-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor cobicistat.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of revumenib with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors that can also prolong the QT interval should be avoided when possible. If concomitant use is required, the manufacturer recommends a dose reduction of revumenib. For patients weighing 40 kilograms or more, reduce the dose from 270 mg orally twice daily to 160 mg orally twice daily. For patients weighing less than 40 kilograms, reduce the dose from 160 mg/m2 orally twice daily to 95 mg/m2 orally twice daily based on the patient's body surface area (BSA). Following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, revumenib dosing may be increased to the recommended dose for patients not receiving a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, after at least 5 half-lives of the inhibitor. Patient tolerability should be assessed throughout treatment, and for those experiencing certain serious adverse effects (e.g., QT prolongation and torsade de pointes arrhythmia, differentiation syndrome, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia), revumenib treatment should be interrupted and/or the dose should be further reduced in accordance with product labeling. Additional adverse effects to closely monitor for include nausea, infection, hypokalemia, hemorrhage, and musculoskeletal pain. It is also advised to obtain electrocardiograms (ECGs) when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated. Serum electrolytes, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium, should be monitored before starting revumenib therapy and monthly during treatment. Revumenib should not be started if baseline QTc is greater than 450 msec. Likewise, treatment should be interrupted and the dose adjusted in patients who develop QTc prolongation greater than 480 msec. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. Permanently discontinue revumenib in patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with life-threatening arrhythmia.

Drug and food interactions
miFEPRIStone food
Applies to: 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.

revumenib food
Applies to: revumenib
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: In pharmacokinetic studies, revumenib was administered while fasting or with a low fat meal. Revumenib has not been studied with meals of higher fat content and the impact on its pharmacokinetic parameters is unknown.
MONITOR: Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges may increase the plasma concentrations of revumenib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. The extent and clinical significance are unknown. In pharmacokinetic studies in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, revumenib area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased 2-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors posaconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole, and 2.5-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor cobicistat. However, clinically significant differences in revumenib pharmacokinetics were not observed when used concomitantly with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors fluconazole and isavuconazole. In general the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Moreover, pharmacokinetic alterations associated with interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability. Increased exposure to revumenib may increase the risk of QT interval prolongation, which has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.
MANAGEMENT: Due to the potential impact of high fat content meals on revumenib absorption and exposure, it is recommended that revumenib be administered while fasting or with a low fat meal (approximately 400-500 calories, with 25% of calories from fat). In addition, if grapefruit, grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, or Seville oranges are consumed during treatment with revumenib, assess patient tolerability and monitor for serious adverse effects (e.g., QT prolongation and torsade de pointes arrhythmia, differentiation syndrome, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia).
