Drug Interaction Report

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of copanlisib, which is a substrate of both the isoenzyme and efflux transporter. When a single 60 mg intravenous dose of copanlisib was administered to cancer patients in combination with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inducer, rifampin (600 mg once daily for 12 days), mean copanlisib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 15% and 63%, respectively. Reduced efficacy of copanlisib may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of copanlisib with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided.

You should preferably avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking encorafenib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of encorafenib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as bleeding complications, eye and vision problems, liver problems, irregular heart rhythm, and development of new skin cancers. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of copanlisib. This may increase side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, lung or breathing problems, severe skin reactions, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts.
