Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

samarium sm 153 lexidronam penpulimab

Applies to: Quadramet (samarium sm 153 lexidronam) and penpulimab

Using samarium sm 153 lexidronam may decrease the effects of penpulimab, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact or may choose to postpone treatment with penpulimab. 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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

No alcohol/food interactions were found. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.

Disease interactions

6 potential interactions Applies to: 6 conditions, including Autoimmune Disorders, Liver Disease, Organ Transplant, Renal Dysfunction, and Bone Marrow Transplantation.

Autoimmune Disorders

Moderate:

penpulimab

Penpulimab has a moderate potential interaction with Autoimmune Disorders.

Programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blocking antibodies can cause immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur in any organ system or tissue at any time after starting therapy. This may be considered when using PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in patients with immune system disorders (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, lupus) or with conditions affecting the nervous system (e.g., myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre syndrome). It is recommended to monitor patients closely for signs/symptoms that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions.

Bone Marrow Transplantation

Moderate:

penpulimab

Penpulimab has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Transplantation.

Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. It is recommended to follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. The benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody before or after an allogeneic HSCT should be considered.

History, Radiation Therapy

Moderate:

penpulimab

Penpulimab has a moderate potential interaction with History, Radiation Therapy.

Penpulimab can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis. In general, the incidence of pneumonitis was higher in patients with prior thoracic radiation.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

penpulimab

Penpulimab has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The effect of severe hepatic dysfunction (total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of penpulimab is unknown. Additionally, this drug can cause immune-mediated hepatitis and hepatotoxicity. Evaluate liver enzymes at baseline and periodically during treatment.

Organ Transplant

Moderate:

penpulimab

Penpulimab has a moderate potential interaction with Organ Transplant.

Solid organ transplant rejection and other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection have been reported with the use of programmed death receptor-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blocking antibodies. This may be considered when using PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in patients who have received a solid organ or other transplant.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

penpulimab

Penpulimab has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The effect of severe renal dysfunction (CrCl below 30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of penpulimab is unknown. Additionally, this drug can cause immune-mediated nephritis and renal dysfunction. Patients should be monitored for early identification and management. Evaluate creatinine levels at baseline and periodically during treatment.

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.
