Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

sofosbuvir pralsetinib

Applies to: sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir and pralsetinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with pralsetinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), OATP1B3, organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1), and/or MATE2-K substrates. Based on in vitro studies, pralsetinib may decrease clearance via inhibition of these transporters, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of agents that are carried by one or more of these transporters. Clinical and pharmacokinetic data are currently lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if pralsetinib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, MATE1, and/or MATE2-K, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Some authorities recommend avoiding coadministration of pralsetinib with substrates of these transporters for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure or serious toxicities. If coadministration is required, dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever pralsetinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

velpatasvir voxilaprevir

Applies to: sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir and sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and/or 1B3 may increase the plasma concentrations of voxilaprevir, which is a substrate of the hepatic uptake transporters. When a single 100 mg dose of voxilaprevir was administered with a single 600 mg dose of the potent OATP 1B1/1B3 inhibitor cyclosporine (n=24), mean voxilaprevir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 19.0- and 9.4-fold, respectively. Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp)- and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)-mediated intestinal transport and CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of voxilaprevir may also contribute to the overall interaction with cyclosporine. The safety of such high levels of voxilaprevir has not been established.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring are advised when voxilaprevir is used with OATP 1B1 or 1B3 inhibitors.

velpatasvir pralsetinib

Applies to: sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir and pralsetinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with pralsetinib may alter the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C8, 2C9, 3A4, and/or 3A5. In vitro studies indicate that pralsetinib is both an inhibitor as well as an inducer of CYP450 2C8, 2C9, 3A4, and 3A5. Therefore, pralsetinib may decrease clearance via inhibition or increase clearance via induction of these isoenzymes, resulting in increased or decreased plasma concentrations of agents that are metabolized by one or more of these isoenzymes. Clinical and pharmacokinetic data are currently lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if pralsetinib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C8, 2C9, 3A4, and/or 3A5, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Some authorities recommend avoiding coadministration of pralsetinib with CYP450 2C8, 2C9, 3A4, and/or 3A5 substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure or serious toxicities. If coadministration is required, dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever pralsetinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Major

pralsetinib food

Applies to: pralsetinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly increases the oral bioavailability of pralsetinib. According to the product labeling, administration of pralsetinib with a high-fat meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 50% to 60% from fat) increased mean pralsetinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 104% and 122%, respectively. The median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was delayed from 4 to 8.5 hours.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of pralsetinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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 pralsetinib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as musculoskeletal toxicity, fatigue, constipation, hypertension, and pneumonia.

MANAGEMENT: Pralsetinib should be administered on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after or 1 hour before a meal. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with pralsetinib.

voxilaprevir food

Applies to: sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food enhances the oral bioavailability of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir. Relative to fasting conditions, mean sofosbuvir systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 64% to 144%, mean velpatasvir AUC increased by 40% to 166%, and mean voxilaprevir AUC increased by 112% to 435% when the combined sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir formulation is administered with food.

MANAGEMENT: Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir should be administered with food.

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.
