Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

thiotepa vadadustat

Applies to: Tepadina (thiotepa) and vadadustat

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with CYP450 3A4 and/or 2B6 inhibitors may increase plasma concentrations of thiotepa and decrease concentrations of its active metabolite triethylenephosphoramide (TEPA). Thiotepa is a prodrug that is primarily converted to TEPA by these isoenzymes. A pharmacokinetic study evaluating six breast cancer patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide 1,500 mg/m2/day, thiotepa 120 mg/m2/day, and carboplatin AUC 5 mg min/mL/day) with the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor aprepitant (125 mg one day before chemotherapy, then 80 mg daily during and for three days after) showed a 15% increase in total thiotepa exposure, a 33% decrease in TEPA formation, and 20% reduction in TEPA exposure.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and closer monitoring for decreased efficacy and adverse effects are advised when thiotepa is used concurrently with CYP450 3A4 and/or 2B6 inhibitors. Patients should be more closely monitored for thiotepa-related toxicities such as myelosuppression, cutaneous toxicity, and neurotoxicity.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

vadadustat food

Applies to: vadadustat

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Smoking and alcohol consumption during therapy with vadadustat may increase the risk of gastrointestinal erosions. Serious erosions, including gastrointestinal bleeding and the need for red blood cell transfusions, have been reported during vadadustat clinical trials. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal erosion, peptic ulcer disease, and current tobacco smokers and alcohol drinkers may be at higher risk of gastrointestinal injury.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if vadadustat is prescribed to current tobacco smokers or alcohol drinkers. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they develop potential signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal injury such as abdominal pain, hematemesis, trouble swallowing, chest or throat pain, and/or black, tarry stools.

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.
