Interactions between your drugs

Major

pomalidomide nadofaragene firadenovec

Applies to: Pomalyst (pomalidomide) and nadofaragene firadenovec

GENERALLY AVOID: Administration of intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec during immunosuppressant therapy may be associated with a risk of disseminated adenovirus infection due to possible low levels of replication-competent adenovirus from nadofaragene firadenovec in the presence of diminished immune competence. Patients may be immunosuppressed if they have recently received or are receiving alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, some antirheumatic agents, high dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents (e.g., greater than or equal to 2 mg/kg/day or 20 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent for 14 consecutive days or more), or long-term topical or inhaled corticosteroids.

MANAGEMENT: Use of intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec in immunosuppressed patients with congenital or acquired immune deficiencies, including those due to concurrent disease (e.g., AIDS, leukemia, lymphoma), cancer therapy (e.g., cytotoxic drugs, radiation) or immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., corticosteroids), should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

pomalidomide food

Applies to: Pomalyst (pomalidomide)

MONITOR: Cigarette smoking may reduce pomalidomide exposure due to induction of CYP450 1A2, the isoenzyme that is responsible for the metabolic clearance of pomalidomide along with CYP450 3A4.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised that smoking may reduce the efficacy of pomalidomide therapy. Pomalidomide should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal.
