Interactions between your drugs

Major

trabectedin deucravacitinib

Applies to: trabectedin and Sotyktu (deucravacitinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of deucravacitinib with other immunosuppressive agents may potentiate the risk of infections as well as lymphoma and other malignancies. Serious infections have been reported in patients with psoriasis who received deucravacitinib. The most common serious infections reported with deucravacitinib included pneumonia and COVID-19. Herpes zoster and herpes simplex viral reactivation were also reported during clinical studies with deucravacitinib, as well as malignancies including lymphoma.

MANAGEMENT: The safety and efficacy of deucravacitinib in combination with immunosuppressive agents has not been evaluated. The manufacturer recommends that the concomitant use of deucravacitinib with potent immunosuppressants (e.g., azathioprine, cyclosporine) should be avoided. Patients receiving deucravacitinib should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment, including the possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy. If a serious infection develops, deucravacitinib should be interrupted until the infection is controlled.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

trabectedin food

Applies to: trabectedin

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of trabectedin. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of trabectedin with other agents known to induce hepatotoxicity such as alcohol may potentiate the risk of liver injury. Reversible, acute increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) have occurred frequently in patients treated with trabectedin alone or with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in clinical trials. In one U.S. trial with 378 patients, grade 3 or 4 elevated liver function tests (defined as elevations in ALT, AST, total bilirubin, or alkaline phosphatase) were reported in 35% of patients receiving trabectedin. ALT or AST elevations greater than eight times the upper limit of normal (ULN) occurred in 18% of patients, and drug-induced liver injury (defined as concurrent elevations in ALT or AST more than three times ULN, alkaline phosphatase less than two times ULN, and total bilirubin at least two times ULN) occurred in 1.3% of patients.

MANAGEMENT: Consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with trabectedin should be avoided. Excessive use of alcohol is also not recommended. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience potential signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity such as fever, rash, itching, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, malaise, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, pale stools, and jaundice. Monitoring of alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, AST, and ALT should occur regularly during trabectedin treatment in accordance with the product labeling, or as often as necessary when clinical symptoms develop. Trabectedin must not be used in patients with elevated bilirubin at the time of initiation of cycle. Elevated liver function tests should be managed with treatment interruption, dosage reduction, or permanent discontinuation depending on the severity and duration of abnormality.

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.
