stiripentol revumenib

Applies to: stiripentol and Revuforj (revumenib)

Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

stiripentol Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: stiripentol

Stiripentol should be taken during a meal to help with its absorption; however, it should not be taken with:

  • milk
  • dairy products (e.G., yogurt, soft cream cheese)
  • fruit juice
  • carbonated (fizzy) beverages

Also avoid or limit the use of alcohol because it can increase side effects of stiripentol such as dizziness and drowsiness. Patients should not engage in activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medication affects them.

Food and beverages that may contain caffeine or theophylline such as colas, chocolate, coffee, tea, or energy drinks should also be avoided, since stiripentol may affect the clearance of these substances from the body. Some medications may also contain caffeine, so check product labels to verify the ingredients before taking, or ask a pharmacist or other healthcare provider for assistance.

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.

Moderate:

revumenib Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: Revuforj (revumenib)

High fat content meals may affect the absorption of revumenib. It is recommended that revumenib be taken while fasting or with a low fat meal (approximately 400 calories, with 25% of calories from fat).

Grapefruit juice may also increase the blood levels of revumenib which can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening.

You may be more susceptible if you have:

  • a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
  • other cardiac diseases
  • conduction abnormalities
  • electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)

Increased levels of revumenib may also increase the risk of developing a serious and potentially life-threatening condition called differentiation syndrome.

Symptoms of differentiation syndrome include:

  • fever
  • cough
  • shortness of breath
  • severe headache
  • confusion
  • dizziness
  • rapid weight gain
  • swelling
  • decreased urination

You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms and/or symptoms of QT prolongation such as sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with revumenib.

The risk and/or severity of other side effects may also increase, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or infections. You may need additional monitoring if grapefruit or grapefruit juice are consumed during treatment with revumenib.

Talk to a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Disease interactions

17 potential interactions Applies to: 15 conditions, including Depression, Heart Failure, Arrhythmia, Hypokalemia, and Psychosis.

Arrhythmia

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG. This drug should not be initiated in patients with QTcF greater than 450 msec. Monitor with ECG during treatment (once a week during the first 4 weeks and then monthly). More frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those taking other medications that can prolong the QTc interval.

Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

Moderate:

stiripentol

Stiripentol has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Stiripentol can cause a significant decline in neutrophil and platelet counts. Care should be exercised when prescribing this agent to immunosuppressed patients and those with bone marrow suppression. Hematologic testing should be obtained before starting treatment, and then every 6 months.

Central Nervous System Disorders

Moderate:

stiripentol

Stiripentol has a moderate potential interaction with Central Nervous System Disorders.

Stiripentol can cause somnolence. If somnolence occurs during coadministration with clobazam, an initial reduction of clobazam by 25% should be considered. If somnolence persists, further clobazam reduction by an additional 25% should be considered, as well as adjustment of the dosage of other concomitant anticonvulsant drugs with sedating properties. Caution should be exercised when prescribing this agent to patients with CNS disorders. Prescribers should monitor patients for somnolence and should caution patients against engaging in hazardous activities requiring mental alertness (e.g., operating dangerous machinery/motor vehicles) until they know how stiripentol affects them.

Depression

Moderate:

stiripentol

Stiripentol has a moderate potential interaction with Depression.

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical studies involving the use of 11 different AEDs showed that patients receiving AEDs had approximately twice the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients receiving placebo. AEDs should be administered cautiously in patients with depression or other psychiatric disorders; phentermine-topiramate should be avoided in patients with history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation. The risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior should be carefully assessed against the risk of untreated illness, bearing in mind that epilepsy and many other conditions for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients, caregivers, and families should be alert to the emergence or worsening of signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts or behavior. If patients have symptoms of suicidal ideation or behavior, a dosage reduction or treatment discontinuation should be considered.

Failure to Thrive

Moderate:

stiripentol

Stiripentol has a moderate potential interaction with Failure to Thrive.

Stiripentol can cause decreases in appetite and weight; nausea and vomiting also occurred more often in stiripentol-treated patients. The growth of pediatric patients should be carefully monitored. In some cases, decreasing the dose of concomitant valproate by 30% per week can reduce the decrease in appetite and weight. Caution should be exercised when prescribing this agent to patients at risk.

Heart Failure

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG. This drug should not be initiated in patients with QTcF greater than 450 msec. Monitor with ECG during treatment (once a week during the first 4 weeks and then monthly). More frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those taking other medications that can prolong the QTc interval.

Hypokalemia

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG.
