ROPivacaine selpercatinib

Applies to: Naropin SDV (ropivacaine) and selpercatinib

Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may modestly increase the plasma concentrations of ropivacaine. Although ropivacaine is primarily metabolized by CYP450 1A2, it has been shown to undergo some metabolism via CYP450 3A4. In eight healthy volunteers, pretreatment with the 3A4 inhibitor erythromycin (500 mg three times a day for 6 days) was found to have only minor effects on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of ropivacaine (0.6 mg/kg IV over 30 minutes) compared to placebo. However, in combination with the potent 1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (100 mg daily), erythromycin further increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of ropivacaine by 50% compared to fluvoxamine alone, which increased the ropivacaine AUC by 3.7-fold. Fluvoxamine alone prolonged the elimination half-life of ropivacaine from 2.3 to 7.4 hours, while the addition of erythromycin further increased the half-life to 11.9 hours. In another study, pretreatment with the potent 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (100 mg twice daily for 2 days) decreased the mean total plasma clearance of ropivacaine (40 mg IV over 20 minutes) by just 15% in 12 healthy volunteers. Thus, it appears that CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may only have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine in the presence of a CYP450 1A2 inhibitor such as fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin, or mexiletine.

Drug and food interactions

Major

selpercatinib food

Applies to: selpercatinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of selpercatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice, but has been reported for other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. When selpercatinib was coadministered with multiple doses of itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, selpercatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 30% and 133%, respectively. Based on pharmacokinetic modeling, administration of selpercatinib with multiple doses of the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors diltiazem, fluconazole, or verapamil is predicted to increase selpercatinib Cmax by 46% to 76% and AUC by 60% to 99%. 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. Increased exposure to selpercatinib may increase the risk of serious adverse effects such as QT interval prolongation, liver transaminase and bilirubin elevations, hypertension, hemorrhage, edema, and hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., fever, rash, arthralgias/myalgias with concurrent decreased platelets or transaminitis).

MANAGEMENT: Patients should limit or avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with selpercatinib.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
