Drug Interaction Report

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with treosulfan may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of these routes of elimination due to treosulfan. According to physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, treosulfan is predicted to be a weak to moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor and weak inhibitor of CYP450 2C19, with negligible inhibitory effects on P-gp. However, according to the manufacturer, in vitro studies were unable to exclude potential drug-drug interactions with high plasma concentrations of treosulfan and CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or P-gp substrates.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended if treosulfan is coadministered with substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Some authorities advise that if concomitant use is required, the dosage of these substrates should be administered either 2 hours before or 8 hours after administration of the treosulfan infusion. The prescribing information of the substrates may be consulted for potential dose reductions.
