Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 or dual P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). Enfortumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that releases MMAE, a microtubule-disrupting agent believed to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, via proteolytic cleavage. MMAE has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4 as well as being a substrate of P-gp. According to physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, concomitant use of enfortumab vedotin with ketoconazole, a dual P-gp and strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase unconjugated MMAE peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 15% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 38%, with no change in ADC exposure. In one case report, a 70-year-old man on stable doses of raltegravir and the CYP450 3A4 inhibitors darunavir and ritonavir, experienced severe toxicity after receiving 2 infusions of enfortumab vedotin (1.25 mg/kg on days 1 and 8 of his 28-day cycle). He was hospitalized with a severe generalized pruritic rash, thrush, mucositis, anorexia, diarrhea, acute kidney injury, and pancytopenia. Enfortumab vedotin was withheld and the patient returned to baseline after being treated with supportive measures. About a year later, he was rechallenged with enfortumab vedotin while on an antiretroviral regimen consisting of dolutegravir, doravirine, and valacyclovir. He was able to tolerate a reduced dose of 1 mg/kg, with mild expected toxicity including skin blisters and peripheral neuropathy.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when enfortumab vedotin is used concomitantly with either potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or dual P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities including, but not limited to skin reactions (maculopapular rash, pruritus, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), bullous dermatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)); hyperglycemia (including diabetic ketoacidosis); pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease; peripheral neuropathy; and ocular disorders (dry eyes, keratitis, blurred vision, limbal stem cell deficiency). Refer to the product labeling for dose adjustment or discontinuation of therapy recommendations depending on the severity or Grade of the adverse reactions, should they occur.

Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.
