Interactions between your drugs
rifabutin tepotinib
Applies to: rifabutin, Tepmetko (tepotinib)
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with strong CYP450 3A4 inducers and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inducers may decrease the plasma concentrations and anti-tumor activity of tepotinib. The proposed mechanism involves induction of CYP450 3A4, which is one of the primary enzymes responsible for the metabolic clearance of tepotinib, and induction of the efflux transporter P-gp, of which tepotinib is also a substrate. However, the effect of strong CYP450 3A4 inducers and/or P-gp inducers on tepotinib has not been studied clinically.
MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of tepotinib with strong CYP450 3A4 inducers and/or P-gp inducers should be avoided.

Drug and food interactions
tepotinib food
Applies to: Tepmetko (tepotinib)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of tepotinib. When tepotinib was administered after a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150 calories from protein, 250 calories from carbohydrate, 500 to 600 calories from fat), tepotinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasted conditions.
MANAGEMENT: Tepotinib should be administered with food at approximately the same time each day.
