Can you take Ribociclib with Sporanox?

The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Achlorhydria.

Itraconazole 100-mg capsules should be administered after a full meal. Under fasted conditions, absorption of itraconazole from the 100-mg capsule formulation was diminished with decreased gastric acidity. Studies conducted under fasted conditions showed that taking the 100-mg capsule formulation with 8 ounces of a non-diet cola beverage enhanced absorption of itraconazole in AIDS patients with relative or absolute achlorhydria; this increase relative to the effects of a full meal is unknown.

The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

Some azole antifungals have been associated with prolongation of the QT interval on the ECG. Rare cases of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes have been reported during postmarketing experience; such reports usually involved seriously ill patients with multiple confounding risk factors, such as structural heart disease, electrolyte abnormalities, and concomitant medications. These drugs should be administered with caution to patients with potentially proarrhythmic conditions, such as congenital/acquired QT prolongation, cardiomyopathy (especially when heart failure is present), sinus bradycardia, and existing symptomatic arrhythmias. Concomitant use with other medications that have potential to increase the risk of cardiotoxicity should be avoided.

The itraconazole in Sporanox has a major potential interaction with COPD.

Itraconazole may possess a dose-related negative inotropic effect. Transient, asymptomatic decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed with IV administration in healthy volunteers; these resolved before the next infusion. Additionally, cases of congestive heart failure (CHF), peripheral edema, and pulmonary edema have been reported during postmarketing experience in patients treated for onychomycosis and/or systemic fungal infections. Itraconazole should not be used to treat onychomycosis in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction such as CHF or history of CHF; itraconazole should not be used for other indications in such patients unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. The risks and benefits of itraconazole therapy should be reviewed carefully in patients with risk factors for CHF (including cardiac disease [e.g., ischemic and valvular disease], significant pulmonary disease [e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease], renal failure and other edematous disorders). Patients with risk factors for CHF should be advised of the signs/symptoms of CHF, treated with caution, and monitored for signs/symptoms of CHF during therapy.

The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Cystic Fibrosis.

In a study using itraconazole oral solution in cystic fibrosis patients, therapeutic drug levels varied and were not reached in some patients. Alternative therapy should be considered for patients who do not respond to itraconazole oral solution or itraconazole 100-mg capsules.

Ribociclib has a moderate potential interaction with Dermatitis, Drug-Induced.

Patients receiving ribociclib have developed severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. This drug must not be reintroduced in patients who have experienced SCARs or other life-threatening cutaneous reactions during ribociclib treatment.

Ribociclib has a moderate potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.

Ribociclib has been shown to prolong the QT interval in a concentration-dependent manner. This drug should be avoided in patients who are at significant risk of developing torsade de pointes, including those with: congenital long QT syndrome; uncontrolled or significant cardiac disease, recent myocardial infarction, heart failure, unstable angina, bradyarrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, high degree atrioventricular block, severe aortic stenosis, or uncontrolled hypothyroidism; electrolyte abnormalities. ECG should be performed in all patients prior to initiation of treatment; ribociclib should be started only in patients with QTcF (QT corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula) values less than 450 milliseconds. ECG should be repeated at Day 14 of the first cycle, and as clinically indicated. Serum electrolytes (including potassium, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium) should be monitored before the initiation of treatment, at the beginning of the first 6 cycles, and as clinically indicated; any electrolyte abnormality should be corrected before starting this drug. Ribociclib may require dose interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation according to observed QT prolongation during therapy.

The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.

The oral bioavailability of itraconazole 100-mg capsules may be decreased in some immunocompromised patients (e.g., neutropenic patients, AIDS patients, organ transplant recipients); in addition, since hypochlorhydria has been reported in HIV-infected patients, the absorption of itraconazole may be reduced in these patients. The dose of itraconazole 100-mg capsules should be adjusted based on the clinical response of such patients.

Itraconazole oral solution is not recommended for initial treatment in severely neutropenic patients at immediate risk of systemic candidiasis.

Ribociclib has a moderate potential interaction with Interstitial Lung Disease.

Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with ribociclib. Patients should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis, which may include hypoxia, cough, and dyspnea. Ribociclib should be interrupted immediately and patients should be evaluated if new or worsening respiratory symptoms suspected to be due to ILD or pneumonitis develop. This drug should be permanently discontinued in patients with any recurrent symptomatic or severe ILD/pneumonitis.

The itraconazole in Sporanox has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Limited data are available on the use of oral itraconazole in patients with liver dysfunction. Itraconazole has been associated with rare cases of serious hepatotoxicity (including liver failure and death). Caution is recommended when this drug is used in patients with liver dysfunction; such patients should be carefully monitored during therapy. Treatment with itraconazole is strongly discouraged in patients with elevated or abnormal liver enzymes, with active liver disease, or who had liver toxicity with other drugs unless the situation is serious or life-threatening and the expected benefit exceeds the risk. Liver function monitoring is recommended for patients with preexisting hepatic function abnormalities or those who had liver toxicity with other drugs.

Ribociclib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Ribociclib undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism mainly via CYP450 3A4 in humans. Increases in transaminases and drug-induced liver injury have occurred in clinical studies. The starting dose of ribociclib should be reduced to 400 mg in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have moderate or severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B or C). Liver function tests (LFTs) should be performed before initiating therapy; LFTs should be monitored every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Dose interruption, dose reduction, or drug discontinuation may be necessary based on the severity of transaminase elevations. No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with breast cancer who have mild liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh A).
