Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of belzutifan with inhibitors of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 (UGT2B17) and/or CYP450 2C19 may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk and severity of adverse effects, including anemia and hypoxia, of belzutifan. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of UGT 2B17 and/or CYP450 2C19, the isoenzymes responsible for the metabolic clearance of belzutifan. Patients who are dual UGT 2B17 and CYP450 2C19 poor metabolizers are at a greater risk of adverse reactions.

MANAGEMENT: Close monitoring is recommended whenever belzutifan is used concomitantly with a UGT 2B17 and/or CYP450 2C19 inhibitor. Clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever a UGT 2B17 and/or CYP450 2C19 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy with belzutifan, and the dosage adjusted as necessary. Consult the manufacturer's product labeling for specific dose adjustment recommendations. Patients should be monitored for development of anemia and hypoxia.

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.
