Can you take Niraparib with Rilonacept?

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. Closely monitor patients with cardiovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypertension. Medically manage hypertension with antihypertensive medications and adjust the dose of niraparib as necessary.

Rilonacept has a moderate potential interaction with High Cholesterol.

Patients treated with rilonacept experienced increases in their mean total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. The mean increases from baseline for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides were 19 mg/dL, 2 mg/dL, 10 mg/dL, and 57 mg/dL respectively after 6 weeks of open-label therapy. Physicians should monitor the lipid profiles of their patients especially those with hyperlipidemias, and consider lipid-lowering therapies as needed based upon cardiovascular risk factors and current guidelines.

Rilonacept has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) blockade may interfere with the immune response to infections. Treatment with other medication as rilonacept, that work through inhibition of IL-1 has been associated with an increased risk of serious infections, and serious infections have been reported in patients taking rilonacept compared with placebo. Rilonacept should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection. Treatment with rilonacept should not be initiated in patients with an active or chronic infection. Additionally, latent tuberculosis can be reactivated and should be treated before initiating therapy with rilonacept.

Niraparib has a moderate potential interaction with Leukemia.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML), including cases with fatal outcome, have been reported with the use of niraparib. It is recommended to use caution when using this agent in patients with MDS/AML, its use must be weighed against the risk. Discontinue the use of niraparib in patients who develop MDS/AML.

Niraparib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

No dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild hepatic impairment according to the National Cancer Institute - Organ Dysfunction Working Group (NCI-ODWG) criteria. Caution is recommended in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment as the safety of niraparib has not been established in these patients.

Rilonacept has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

No formal studies have been conducted to examine the pharmacokinetics of rilonacept administered subcutaneously in patients with hepatic impairment. Caution is advised if used on these patients.

Niraparib has a moderate potential interaction with Myelodysplastic Diseases.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML), including cases with fatal outcome, have been reported with the use of niraparib. It is recommended to use caution when using this agent in patients with MDS/AML, its use must be weighed against the risk. Discontinue the use of niraparib in patients who develop MDS/AML.

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.

Niraparib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

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.

Rilonacept has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

No formal studies have been conducted to examine the pharmacokinetics of rilonacept administered subcutaneously in patients with renal impairment. Caution is advised if used on these patients.

Rilonacept has a moderate potential interaction with Tuberculosis, Latent.

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) blockade may interfere with the immune response to infections. Treatment with other medication as rilonacept, that work through inhibition of IL-1 has been associated with an increased risk of serious infections, and serious infections have been reported in patients taking rilonacept compared with placebo. Rilonacept should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection. Treatment with rilonacept should not be initiated in patients with an active or chronic infection. Additionally, latent tuberculosis can be reactivated and should be treated before initiating therapy with rilonacept.

Rilonacept has a major potential interaction with Vaccination.

Live vaccines should not be given concurrently with rilonacept. Rilonacept may interfere with normal immune response to new antigens; therefore, vaccinations may not be effective in patients receiving rilonacept. No data are available on the effectiveness of vaccination with inactivated (killed) antigens in patients receiving rilonacept. Because IL-1 blockade may interfere with immune response to infections, it is recommended that prior to initiation of therapy with rilonacept adult and pediatric patients receive all recommended vaccinations, as appropriate, including pneumococcal vaccine and inactivated influenza vaccine.
