You should seek medical attention if you develop:

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

You may be advised not to take bosutinib until you have completed treatment with duvelisib, or you may require a dose adjustment and more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications together. Your doctor may also be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact.

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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

Food/Lifestyle bosutinib

Applies to: bosutinib

Bosutinib should be taken with a meal to help with its absorption.

Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with bosutinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of bosutinib.

You may be more likely to experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, liver damage, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells, which can increase the risk of anemia, bleeding problems, and infections.

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.

Moderate:

Food/Lifestyle duvelisib

Applies to: Copiktra (duvelisib)

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Cardiovascular events (including arterial vascular occlusive events, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and ischemic cerebrovascular events) have been reported in patients receiving BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if acute signs or symptoms of cardiovascular events occur. Cardiovascular status should be evaluated, and cardiovascular risk factors should be monitored and actively managed during treatment.

Dehydration

Moderate:

bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

Adequate hydration might be necessary during therapy with bosutinib as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, and fluid replacement. To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.

Diarrhea

Moderate:

bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Diarrhea.

Adequate hydration might be necessary during therapy with bosutinib as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with treatment.

To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.

Fluid Retention

Moderate:

bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Heart Failure

Moderate:

bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Infection

Major:

Copiktra

The duvelisib in Copiktra has a major potential interaction with Infection.

Any infection should be treated prior to initiation of treatment with duvelisib. Serious, including fatal infections have occurred in patients receiving treatment with this drug. The most common serious infections were pneumonia (including fatal pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, PJP), sepsis, and lower respiratory infections. Advise patients to report any new or worsening signs and symptoms of infection. In some cases, treatment might need to be suspended while the infection is treated. Prophylaxis for PJP should be provided during treatment, and in some cases also prophylactic antivirals should be considered in patients with history of CMV infection to avoid CMV reactivation.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Bosutinib is primarily metabolized by the CYP 450 3A4. Therapy with bosutinib should be administered cautiously in patients with hepatic impairment and the starting dose should be 200 mg daily in patients with baseline hepatic impairment. The manufacturer recommends performing hepatic enzyme tests monthly for the first three months of bosutinib treatment and as clinically indicated. In patients with transaminase elevations, monitor liver enzymes more frequently. Withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue bosutinib as necessary.

Moderate:

Copiktra

The duvelisib in Copiktra has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Bilirubin and ALT and/or AST elevation has been reported in patients receiving duvelisib. Monitor hepatic function in all patients during treatment with duvelisib. Caution and close monitoring is advised in patients with hepatic impairment.

Neutropenia

Moderate:

Copiktra

The duvelisib in Copiktra has a moderate potential interaction with Neutropenia.

Caution and close monitoring is advised when starting treatment in patients with neutropenia. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia has been reported in 42% of patients receiving treatment. Monitor neutrophil counts at least every 2 weeks for the first 2 months of duvelisib therapy, and at least weekly in patients with neutrophil counts < 1.0 Gi/L (Grade 3-4). Withhold treatment with duvelisib in patients presenting with neutrophil counts < 0.5 Gi/L (Grade 4). Monitor until ANC is > 0.5 Gi/L, and then resume duvelisib at same dose for the first occurrence or a reduced dose for subsequent occurrence.

Noninfectious Colitis

Major:

Copiktra

The duvelisib in Copiktra has a major potential interaction with Noninfectious Colitis.

Serious, including fatal diarrhea or colitis has been reported in 18% of patients receiving treatment with duvelisib. Patients with history of colitis should be monitored closely for any signs or symptoms. Advise patients to report any new or worsening diarrhea. Patients presenting with abdominal pain, stool with mucus or blood, change in bowel habits, peritoneal signs, or with diarrhea that is noninfectious should be followed closely and supportive therapy should be initiated based on severity (antidiarrheal agents, to enteric acting or systemic steroids if needed). A diagnostic work- up to determine etiology, including colonoscopy, should be performed. Monitor at least weekly. Upon resolution of the diarrhea or colitis, treatment can be restarted at a reduced dose. Treatment should be discontinued for recurrent Grade 3 diarrhea or recurrent colitis of any grade.

Pleural Effusion

Moderate:

bosutinib

Bosutinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pleural Effusion.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema.
