Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

somapacitan pralsetinib

Applies to: somapacitan-beco and pralsetinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with human growth hormone may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Data from an interaction study performed in growth hormone deficient adults suggest that growth hormone (somatropin) administration can increase the clearance of compounds known to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes, especially CYP450 3A4. The clinical significance is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when human growth hormone is used concurrently with drugs that are known CYP450 3A4 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever human growth hormone is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

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.

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.
