Drug Interaction Report

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent or moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor, drugs primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulations suggest that coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin may decrease vanzacaftor peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 78% and 82%, respectively, and may decrease deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 80% and 90%, respectively. Similarly, the moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer efavirenz is predicted to decrease vanzacaftor Cmax and AUC by 65% and 69%, respectively; and may decrease deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 56% and 73%, respectively. No pharmacokinetic data are available for tezacaftor, but decreased exposures are expected according to prescribing information.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor containing medications with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers is not recommended.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of lorlatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with lorlatinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. If coadministration is unavoidable, some authorities recommend reducing the initial dosage of lorlatinib from 100 mg orally once daily to 75 mg orally once daily. In patients who have had a dosage reduction to 75 mg orally once daily due to adverse reactions, the lorlatinib dosage should be further reduced to 50 mg orally once daily upon initiation of a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. After 3 plasma half-lives following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, the lorlatinib dosage may be increased to that used prior to initiation of the inhibitor.

Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with fat-containing food may increase the oral bioavailability of vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor. Administration with a fat containing meal increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 4- (low-fat meal) to 6- (high-fat meal) fold. While deutivacaftor AUC increased approximately 3- (low-fat meal) to 4- (high-fat meal) fold, relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, vanzacaftor -containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit. To improve absorption, patients should be advised to take vanzacaftor and/or deutivacaftor containing medications with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products at approximately the same time of the day. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.
