Drug Interaction Report

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent and moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of taletrectinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a clinical study, taletrectinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 1.8-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 3.3-fold following concomitant administration of itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A inhibitor. According to the product labeling, administration of taletrectinib with a moderate CYP450 3A inhibitor is predicted to increase taletrectinib Cmax and AUC by up to 1.5- and 2.6-fold, respectively. Increased exposure to taletrectinib may increase the risk and/or severity of adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity with liver enzyme elevations, lung toxicities, QT prolongation, hyperuricemia, myalgia with creatine phosphokinase elevation, and skeletal fractures.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of taletrectinib with potent and moderate CYP450 3A inhibitors should be avoided.

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with nilotinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of nilotinib to dangerous levels, increasing the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with nilotinib. Food may also increase the blood levels of nilotinib. Therefore, you should take nilotinib on an empty stomach, meaning no food should be eaten for at least two hours before or one hour after taking nilotinib. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of taletrectinib. The proposed mechanism for the interaction 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 for other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. In a clinical study, taletrectinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 1.8-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 3.3-fold following concomitant administration of itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A inhibitor. According to the product labeling, administration of taletrectinib with a moderate CYP450 3A inhibitor is predicted to increase taletrectinib Cmax and AUC by up to 1.5- and 2.6-fold, respectively. Increased exposure to taletrectinib may increase the risk and/or severity of adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity with liver enzyme elevations, lung toxicities, QT prolongation, hyperuricemia, myalgia with creatine phosphokinase elevation, and skeletal fractures.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with high-fat food (1000 calories, 50% fat) increased taletrectinib Cmax and AUC by 1.5-fold, and the predicted increase in the QTc interval is 20.5 msec.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends avoiding food or drink containing grapefruit during treatment with taletrectinib. In addition, taletrectinib should be administered on an empty stomach at about the same time each day, at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after food intake.
