Arrhythmia
Moderate:
niraparib
Niraparib has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Niraparib has the potential to cause effects on pulse rate and blood pressure. Hypertension and hypertensive crisis have been reported in patients treated with niraparib. It is recommended to monitor blood pressure and heart rate monthly for the first year and periodically thereafter during treatment with niraparib.

Moderate:
niraparib
Niraparib has a moderate potential interaction with Pancytopenia.
Hematologic adverse reactions (thrombocytopenia, anemia and neutropenia) have been reported in patients treated with niraparib. It is recommended to monitor complete blood counts weekly for the first month, monthly for the next eleven months of treatment, and periodically after this time. Do not start niraparib until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (less than equal to Grade 1). If hematological toxicities do not resolve within 28 days following interruption, discontinue niraparib, and refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
niraparib

No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. Caution is recommended in patients with severe renal impairment or end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis as the safety of niraparib has not been established in these patients.
Moderate:
Nubeqa
The darolutamide in Nubeqa has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2) who are not receiving hemodialysis have a higher exposure to darolutamide and reduction of the dose is recommended (see manufacturer package insert for recommended dose). No dose reduction is needed for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. The effect of end stage renal disease (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2) on darolutamide pharmacokinetics is unknown.
