ocrelizumab revumenib
Applies to: ocrelizumab and revumenib
MONITOR: The concomitant use of the CD20-directed cytolytic antibody ocrelizumab with other immune-modulating or immunosuppressive therapies, including immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids, may result in an increased risk of immunosuppression. However, data is conflicting. Factors that appear to be associated with a risk of serious infections include higher doses of ocrelizumab than those recommended for multiple sclerosis (MS), other comorbidities, and concomitant use in patients on chronic immunosuppressants/corticosteroids. Ocrelizumab alone has been reported to increase the risk for respiratory tract infections and herpes-related infections in MS trials. In the postmarketing setting, hepatitis B reactivation, cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), and immune-mediated colitis have been reported. In relapsing MS (RMS) studies, 58% of ocrelizumab-treated patients experienced infections compared to 52% of interferon-treated patients. However, the proportion of patients reporting serious infection was higher in the interferon-treated group (2.9% versus 1.3%). On the other hand, when ocrelizumab is used concomitantly with immunosuppressants in other autoimmune conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) some studies have reported an increase in serious infections such as atypical pneumonia, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, varicella pneumonia, tuberculosis, and histoplasmosis have been reported from some studies, including rare reports of fatalities.
MANAGEMENT: The increased risk of additive immunosuppression should be considered if co-administering ocrelizumab with other immunosuppressive therapy. Some authorities recommend avoiding concomitant use of other immunosuppressive therapies with ocrelizumab, except for the use of corticosteroids for symptomatic treatment of a MS relapse. Patients should be advised to notify their doctor if they develop signs or symptoms of infection, including upper or lower respiratory tract infection, skin infection, herpes related infection, or PML. If switching from a drug with prolonged immune effects (e.g., daclizumab, fingolimod, natalizumab, teriflunomide, mitoxantrone), the duration and mechanism of action should be considered prior to starting ocrelizumab therapy. The product labeling should be consulted for more specific recommendations.

Drug and food interactions
revumenib food
Applies to: revumenib
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: In pharmacokinetic studies, revumenib was administered while fasting or with a low fat meal. Revumenib has not been studied with meals of higher fat content and the impact on its pharmacokinetic parameters is unknown.
MONITOR: Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges may increase the plasma concentrations of revumenib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. The extent and clinical significance are unknown. In pharmacokinetic studies in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, revumenib area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased 2-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors posaconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole, and 2.5-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor cobicistat. However, clinically significant differences in revumenib pharmacokinetics were not observed when used concomitantly with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors fluconazole and isavuconazole. 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. Moreover, pharmacokinetic alterations associated with interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability. Increased exposure to revumenib may increase the risk of QT interval prolongation, which has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.
MANAGEMENT: Due to the potential impact of high fat content meals on revumenib absorption and exposure, it is recommended that revumenib be administered while fasting or with a low fat meal (approximately 400-500 calories, with 25% of calories from fat). In addition, if grapefruit, grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star-fruit, or Seville oranges are consumed during treatment with revumenib, assess patient tolerability and monitor for serious adverse effects (e.g., QT prolongation and torsade de pointes arrhythmia, differentiation syndrome, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia).
