MONITOR: Treatment with propofol may lead to prolongation of the QT interval; however, the extent of prolongation and its clinical impact is difficult to determine. A retrospective single-center cohort study in patients treated at the Mayo clinic over 17 years (n=628,784) concluded that torsade de pointes (TdP) after propofol administration occurred at an annual incidence of 1.93 per million; however, it was often associated with other risk factors, including concomitant QT-prolonging medications, low serum potassium levels (<3.5 mmol/L), and low serum magnesium levels (<1.8 mg/dL). Other studies have reported that propofol has no effect or that it decreases the QTc interval and may offset QTc prolongation due to other coadministered anesthetic medications. Theoretically, concurrent use of two or more drugs that can cause QT interval prolongation may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including TdP and sudden death. The risk of an individual agent or a combination of these agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors such as congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia). In addition, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation is dependent on the particular drug(s) involved and dosage(s) of the drugs. Data from formal QT/QTc studies on propofol are lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring is recommended if propofol is used concomitantly with other agents associated with QT interval prolongation. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.

Applies to: propofol

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

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).
