Interactions between your drugs
DAUNOrubicin liposomal cytarabine liposomal
Applies to: cytarabine liposomal / daunorubicin liposomal, cytarabine liposomal / daunorubicin liposomal
MONITOR: The concomitant or sequential administration of multiple antineoplastic agents may result in additive toxicities, particularly in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract and heart.
MANAGEMENT: Close clinical and laboratory monitoring for hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities are recommended when antineoplastic agents are administered concurrently or during close intervals. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. The manufacturers' recommendations and institutional protocols for dosage, treatment regimens, monitoring, and management of toxicities should be consulted.

DAUNOrubicin liposomal tezacaftor
Applies to: cytarabine liposomal / daunorubicin liposomal, deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor
MONITOR: Coadministration with tezacaftor and/or deutivacaftor may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter. The mechanism is decreased clearance via inhibition of the transporter by tezacaftor and/or deutivacaftor. In study subjects, digoxin (single 0.5 mg dose) systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.3-fold when it was administered with tezacaftor 25 mg and ivacaftor 50 mg daily. No pharmacokinetic data are available for deutivacaftor, but increased exposures of certain P-gp substrates are expected according to prescribing information.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tezacaftor and/or deutivacaftor are used with drugs that are P-gp substrates, particularly those where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.

Drug and food interactions
tezacaftor food
Applies to: deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, and vanzacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation- dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with fat-containing food may increase the oral bioavailability of vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor. Administration with a fat containing meal increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 4- (low-fat meal) to 6- (high-fat meal) fold. While deutivacaftor AUC increased approximately 3- (low-fat meal) to 4- (high-fat meal) fold, relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, vanzacaftor -containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit. To improve absorption, patients should be advised to take vanzacaftor and/or deutivacaftor containing medications with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products at approximately the same time of the day. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.
