Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:treosulfan infigratinib
Applies to: treosulfan, infigratinib
Treosulfan may increase the blood levels and effects of infigratinib.
Contact your doctor if your condition changes during treatment with these medications. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.
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
Major food/lifestyle interactions
Major:Food/Lifestyle infigratinib
Applies to: infigratinib
Infigratinib should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after food. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with infigratinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of infigratinib. This may increase the frequency and severity of serious side effects such as:
- infections
- decreased red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts
- fever
- abdominal pain
- increased blood calcium and phosphate levels above normal
- eye and vision problems
- mouth sores and inflammation
- diarrhea
- redness, swelling, peeling or tenderness, mainly on the hands and feet ('hand-foot syndrome')
- nails separating from the bed or poor formation of the nail
- changes in kidney function blood tests
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.
Disease interactions
7 potential interactionsApplies to: 5 conditions, including Seizures, Liver Disease, Renal Dysfunction, Retinal Disorders, and Phosphate Imbalance.
Liver Disease
Moderate:infigratinib
Infigratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
In patients with mild (total bilirubin > upper limit of normal [ULN] to 1.5 × ULN or AST > ULN) and moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN with any AST), the AUC of infigratinib plus its active metabolites (BHS697 and CQM157) was increased by 47% to 62% and 99%, respectively as compared to patients with normal hepatic function. It is recommended to reduce the dosage of infigratinib in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. The effect of severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN with any AST) on infigratinib exposure has not been assessed. Care should be exercised when using this drug in these patients as the recommended dosage of infigratinib has not been established.
Moderate:treosulfan
Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Treosulfan has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe liver and renal dysfunction.
Phosphate Imbalance
Moderate:infigratinib
Infigratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Phosphate Imbalance.
The use of infigratinib can increase serum phosphate levels due to fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibition. It is recommended to monitor for hyperphosphatemia during treatment and initiate phosphate lowering therapy when serum phosphate level is greater than 5.5 mg/dL. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue treatment based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:infigratinib
Infigratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
In patients with mild (CrCl 60 to 89 mL/min) and moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30 to 59 mL/min), the AUC of infigratinib plus its active metabolites (BHS697 and CQM157) was increased by 32% and 37%, respectively as compared to patients with normal renal function. It is recommended to reduce the dosage of infigratinib in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. The effect of infigratinib exposure in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min) or in with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis has not been assessed. Care should be exercised when using this drug in these patients as the recommended dosage of infigratinib has not been established.
Moderate:treosulfan
Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Treosulfan has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe liver and renal dysfunction.
Retinal Disorders
Moderate:infigratinib
Infigratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Retinal Disorders.
The use of infigratinib can cause retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) which may result in symptoms such as blurred vision. It is recommended to perform comprehensive ophthalmic examination including optical coherence tomography (OCT) prior to initiating treatment and at 1 month, at 3 months, and then every 3 months thereafter during treatment. Treat patients with ocular demulcents as needed for dry eyes. Withhold therapy for 14 days until resolution or as clinically appropriate and refer patients for ophthalmic evaluation immediately for onset of visual symptoms, and follow-up every 3 weeks until resolution or discontinuation of treatment.
Seizures
Moderate:treosulfan
Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.
There have been reports of seizures in patients following treatment with treosulfan. Patients should be monitored for signs of neurological adverse reactions, and clonazepam prophylaxis may be considered for patients at higher risk for seizures, including infants.
Drug Interaction Classification
| Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit. | |
| Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances. | |
| 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. | |
| No interaction information available. |
