Interactions between your drugs
bosutinib velpatasvir
Applies to: bosutinib, Vosevi (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir)
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of bosutinib, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme and efflux transporter. In 24 healthy volunteers, administration of a single 100 mg dose of bosutinib with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg/day for 5 days) under fasting conditions resulted in a 5.2-fold increase in bosutinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 8.6-fold increase in systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration of bosutinib alone. Ketoconazole also decreased the mean apparent clearance of bosutinib by approximately 9-fold and increased the mean terminal half-life from 46.2 hours to 69.0 hours. No data are available for use with less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or P-gp inhibitors.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when bosutinib is used with CYP450 3A4 or P-gp inhibitors. Patients should be monitored more closely for development of adverse effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, and fluid retention (e.g., pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, peripheral edema).

bosutinib voxilaprevir
Applies to: bosutinib, Vosevi (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir)

velpatasvir voxilaprevir
Applies to: Vosevi (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir), Vosevi (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir)
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and/or 1B3 may increase the plasma concentrations of voxilaprevir, which is a substrate of the hepatic uptake transporters. When a single 100 mg dose of voxilaprevir was administered with a single 600 mg dose of the potent OATP 1B1/1B3 inhibitor cyclosporine (n=24), mean voxilaprevir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 19.0- and 9.4-fold, respectively. Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp)- and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)-mediated intestinal transport and CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of voxilaprevir may also contribute to the overall interaction with cyclosporine. The safety of such high levels of voxilaprevir has not been established.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring are advised when voxilaprevir is used with OATP 1B1 or 1B3 inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions
bosutinib food
Applies to: bosutinib
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of bosutinib. When given with a high-fat meal, bosutinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.8- and 1.7-fold, respectively.
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice is likely to increase the plasma concentrations of bosutinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, the interaction has not been studied. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.
MANAGEMENT: Bosutinib should be administered with a meal. The consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit extract should be avoided.

voxilaprevir food
Applies to: Vosevi (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food enhances the oral bioavailability of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir. Relative to fasting conditions, mean sofosbuvir systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 64% to 144%, mean velpatasvir AUC increased by 40% to 166%, and mean voxilaprevir AUC increased by 112% to 435% when the combined sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir formulation is administered with food.
MANAGEMENT: Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir should be administered with food.
