Drug Interaction Report

GENERALLY AVOID: Administration of intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec during immunosuppressant therapy may be associated with a risk of disseminated adenovirus infection due to possible low levels of replication-competent adenovirus from nadofaragene firadenovec in the presence of diminished immune competence. Patients may be immunosuppressed if they have recently received or are receiving alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, some antirheumatic agents, high dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents (e.g., greater than or equal to 2 mg/kg/day or 20 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent for 14 consecutive days or more), or long-term topical or inhaled corticosteroids.

MANAGEMENT: Use of intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec in immunosuppressed patients with congenital or acquired immune deficiencies, including those due to concurrent disease (e.g., AIDS, leukemia, lymphoma), cancer therapy (e.g., cytotoxic drugs, radiation) or immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., corticosteroids), should generally be avoided.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Consumption of food can decrease the rate and extent of gastrointestinal absorption of sirolimus. Also, the consumption of grapefruit juice may result in increased sirolimus trough concentrations.

MANAGEMENT: Experts recommend that this drug be taken either at least one hour prior to eating or consistently with or without food to avoid variations in sirolimus blood levels. The manufacturer recommends against using grapefruit juice for dilution of sirolimus doses. Patients should be monitored for clinical and laboratory evidence of altered immunosuppressant effects.
