Moderate

dabrafenib zavegepant

Applies to: dabrafenib, zavegepant

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B3 hepatic uptake transporter and/or the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and effects of zavegepant, which is a substrate of these transporters. When single-dose oral zavegepant (100 mg) was administered with the OATP 1B3 and NTCP inhibitor and strong CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifampin, at steady state, zavegepant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 2.2- and 2.3-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of zavegepant with OATP 1B3 and/or NTCP inhibitors should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

dabrafenib food

Applies to: dabrafenib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce as well as delay the absorption of dabrafenib. In study subjects, administration of dabrafenib with a high-fat meal decreased peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 51% and 31%, respectively, and delayed median Tmax by approximately 3.6 hours compared to administration in the fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: Dabrafenib should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
