Drug Interactions between Tibsovo and venetoclax

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of venetoclax. Relative to fasting conditions, venetoclax systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 3.4-fold when administered with a low-fat meal (approximately 512 kilocalories, 25% calories from fat) and by 5.1- to 5.3-fold when administered with a high-fat meal (approximately 753 kilocalories, 55% calories from fat).

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and starfruit may increase the plasma concentrations of venetoclax, which is primarily metabolized by the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice, but has been reported with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. In a study of 11 previously treated non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, when the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 7 days) was coadministered with venetoclax (50 mg single dose), venetoclax peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2.3-fold and 6.4-fold, respectively. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling estimates that the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors diltiazem and erythromycin may increase the Cmax and AUC of venetoclax by between 1.4- to 2- fold and 2- to 4.9-fold, respectively, while the weak CYP450 3A4 inhibitors fluoxetine and fluvoxamine appear to have no significant effect on its Cmax or AUC. 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. Increased venetoclax exposure may potentiate the risk of tumor lysis syndrome, particularly at initiation of therapy and during the dosage ramp-up phase, as well as other adverse effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.

MANAGEMENT: Venetoclax should be administered with a meal and water at approximately the same time each day. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit products, Seville oranges, and starfruit during treatment with venetoclax.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ivosidenib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. Pharmacokinetic data are available for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole, and the moderate inhibitor, fluconazole. When a single 250 mg dose of ivosidenib was administered with itraconazole 200 mg once daily for 18 days, ivosidenib systemic exposure (AUC) increased to 269% of control, with no change in peak plasma concentration (Cmax). Based on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, coadministration of a 500 mg dose of ivosidenib with fluconazole (dosed to steady-state) is predicted to increase ivosidenib single-dose AUC to 173% of control, while multiple-dosing of both is predicted to increase ivosidenib steady-state Cmax and AUC to 152% and 190% of control, respectively. 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. Increased exposure to ivosidenib may increase the risk of QT interval prolongation, which has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with a high-fat meal may increase the plasma concentrations of ivosidenib. According to the product labeling, administration of a single dose with a high-fat meal (approximately 900 to 1000 calories; 500 to 600 calories in fat, 250 calories in carbohydrate, 150 calories in protein) increased ivosidenib Cmax and AUC by 98% and 25%, respectively, in healthy study subjects.

MANAGEMENT: Ivosidenib may be administered with or without food, but should not be administered with a high-fat meal. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with ivosidenib.
