Moderate

Caffeine Givosiran

Moderate Drug Interaction

MONITOR: Coadministration with givosiran may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2 and/or CYP450 2D6. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to givosiran-mediated inhibition of CYP450 1A2 and 2D6 isoenzymes. Concomitant administration of a single subcutaneous dose of givosiran (2.5 mg/kg) increased the systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of caffeine (sensitive CYP450 1A2 substrate) by 3.1-fold and 1.3-fold, respectively, and dextromethorphan (sensitive CYP450 2D6 substrate) by 2.4-fold and 2.0-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring are recommended when givosiran is given with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2 and/or 2D6. Concomitant use should generally be avoided with CYP450 1A2 or 2D6 substrates that have a narrow therapeutic range where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. If concomitant use is unavoidable, the dosage of the CYP450 1A2 or 2D6 substrate should be reduced according to approved product labeling or clinical response and tolerance. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever givosiran is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs.

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.
