Brincidofovir and Alcohol/Food Interactions

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food decreases the oral bioavailability of brincidofovir. According to the product labeling, administration of brincidofovir tablets with a low-fat meal (approximately 400 calories, 25% of calories from fat) was associated with a reduction in the systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of brincidofovir by 31% and 49%, respectively, compared to administration under fasting. However, no clinically meaningful changes in intracellular concentrations of cidofovir diphosphate were observed. The effect of food on the oral suspension formulation has not been evaluated.

MANAGEMENT: Brincidofovir oral tablets and suspension should be taken on an empty stomach. If necessary, the oral tablets may be taken with a low-fat meal.
