Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR: Coadministration with adagrasib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by the CYP450 3A4, 2D6 or 2C9 enzymatic pathways or are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux membrane transporter. When adagrasib 400 mg twice daily (two-thirds the approved recommended dosage) was administered with midazolam (a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate) and dextromethorphan (a sensitive CYP450 2D6 substrate) in pharmacokinetic studies, midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 4.8- and 21-fold, respectively, while dextromethorphan Cmax and AUC increased by 1.9- and 1.8-fold, respectively. Adagrasib at the approved recommended dosage of 600 mg twice daily is predicted to increase midazolam Cmax by 3.1-fold and AUC by 31-fold; dextromethorphan Cmax by 1.7-fold and AUC by 2.4-fold; warfarin (a sensitive CYP450 2C9 substrate) Cmax by 1.1-fold and AUC by 2.9-fold; and digoxin (a P-gp substrate) Cmax by 1.9-fold and AUC by 1.5-fold. These results suggest that adagrasib is a potent inhibitor of CYP450 3A4 and may be a moderate inhibitor of CYP450 2D6 and 2C9 at the approved recommended dosage of 600 mg twice daily.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when adagrasib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, CYP450 2D6, CYP450 2C9 and/or P-gp, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Substitution for these medications is recommended when possible, or initiate with lower dosages and monitor patient clinical response/tolerance and titrate accordingly if coadministration is required. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Adagrasib can cause concentration-dependent, prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with grapefruit juice before adagrasib has reached steady-state may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of adagrasib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole. In a clinical drug interaction study, adagrasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were increased by 2.4-fold and 4-fold, respectively following concomitant use of a single dose of adagrasib (200 mg) with itraconazole. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of adagrasib at steady state were predicted when used concomitantly with itraconazole. 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. Increased exposure to adagrasib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as QT prolongation, diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, and renal impairment.

Adagrasib pharmacokinetics were not significantly affected when administered with a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice until adagrasib concentrations have reached steady state (after approximately 8 days). Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. Adagrasib may be administered with or without food.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of atorvastatin. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. When a single 40 mg dose of atorvastatin was coadministered with 240 mL of grapefruit juice, atorvastatin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 16% and 37%, respectively. Greater increases in Cmax (up to 71%) and/or AUC (up to 2.5 fold) have been reported with excessive consumption of grapefruit juice (>=750 mL to 1.2 liters per day). Clinically, high levels of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity in plasma is associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal toxicity. Myopathy manifested as muscle pain and/or weakness associated with grossly elevated creatine kinase exceeding ten times the upper limit of normal has been reported occasionally. Rhabdomyolysis has also occurred rarely, which may be accompanied by acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria and may result in death.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Fibres such as oat bran and pectin may diminish the pharmacologic effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors by interfering with their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving therapy with atorvastatin should limit their consumption of grapefruit juice to no more than 1 liter per day. Patients should be advised to promptly report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, particularly if accompanied by fever, malaise and/or dark colored urine. Therapy should be discontinued if creatine kinase is markedly elevated in the absence of strenuous exercise or if myopathy is otherwise suspected or diagnosed. In addition, patients should either refrain from the use of oat bran and pectin or, if concurrent use cannot be avoided, to separate the administration times by at least 2 to 4 hours.
