siponimod pirtobrutinib

Applies to: siponimod and pirtobrutinib

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of siponimod with antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, or other immune-modulating therapies may result in additive immune system effects and increased risk of infections. Siponimod causes reversible sequestration of lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues. When administered daily, siponimod produces a dose-dependent reduction in peripheral lymphocyte count to 20% to 30% of baseline values, which may increase the risk of infections. Life-threatening and rare fatal infections have occurred in association with siponimod. Decreased lymphocyte counts persist during chronic daily dosing and generally return to normal within 10 days after stopping the medication. However, residual pharmacodynamic effects, such as decreased peripheral lymphocytes, may persist for up to 3 to 4 weeks after the last dose. Use of other myelo- or immunosuppressive drugs during this time may lead to unintended additive effects on the immune system.

MANAGEMENT: The safety and efficacy of siponimod in combination with antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, or other immune-modulating agents have not been evaluated. Close monitoring for signs and symptoms of infection is advised during coadministration and for 3 to 4 weeks after the last dose of siponimod. When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects to siponimod, the half-life and mode of action of these drugs must be considered to avoid unintended additive immunosuppressive effects while at the same time minimizing risk of disease reactivation.

Drug and food interactions

Major

pirtobrutinib food

Applies to: pirtobrutinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of pirtobrutinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. When pirtobrutinib (200 mg single dose) was administered with itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, pirtobrutinib systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 49%. Concomitant use of diltiazem or verapamil, moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, is predicted to increase pirtobrutinib AUC by 20% and 30%, respectively. 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. Increased exposure to pirtobrutinib may increase the risk of infection, bruising, bleeding, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, edema, and dyspnea.

MANAGEMENT: It may be advisable for patients to avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or supplements that contain grapefruit during treatment with pirtobrutinib.

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.
