Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nilotinib telisotuzumab vedotin

Applies to: nilotinib and telisotuzumab vedotin

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), the anti-mitotic and cytotoxic component of telisotuzumab vedotin. Telisotuzumab 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. MMAE systemic exposure (AUC) is predicted to increase by 1.4-fold following concomitant administration of telisotuzumab vedotin with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole. It is not known if, and to what extent, MMAE may interact with less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when telisotuzumab vedotin is used concomitantly with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities such as ocular surface disorders (e.g., dry eyes, keratitis, blurred vision), peripheral neuropathy, interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, and peripheral edema. If serious adverse reactions occur, the dosing of telisotuzumab vedotin should be adjusted or withheld as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food/lifestyle interactions

Major

nilotinib food/lifestyle

Applies to: nilotinib

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with nilotinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of nilotinib to dangerous levels, increasing the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with nilotinib. Food may also increase the blood levels of nilotinib. Therefore, you should take nilotinib on an empty stomach, meaning no food should be eaten for at least two hours before or one hour after taking nilotinib. 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.
