Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of fostamatinib with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase exposure to the active metabolite known as R406, the predominant moiety in the systemic circulation following fostamatinib administration. Fostamatinib is metabolized in the gut by alkaline phosphatase to R406, which then undergoes oxidation via CYP450 3A4 and glucuronidation via UGT1A9. When a single 80 mg dose of fostamatinib (0.53 times the 150 mg dosage) was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 3.5 days), R406 peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased on average by 37% and 102%, respectively, compared to fostamatinib administered alone. Increased exposure to R406 may result in increased risk of adverse effects such as diarrhea, hepatotoxicity, hypertension, and neutropenia.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be monitored for toxicities of fostamatinib during concomitant use of potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, and the fostamatinib dosage adjusted as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the oral absorption and bioavailability of voriconazole. According to the product labeling, administration of multiple doses of voriconazole with high-fat meals decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 34% and 24%, respectively, when the drug is administered as a tablet, and by 58% and 37%, respectively, when administered as the oral suspension.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, voriconazole tablets and oral suspension should be taken at least one hour before or after a meal.
