| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Lonafarnib/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 1-Contraindicated Drug Combination: This drug combination is contraindicated and generally should not be dispensed or administered to the same patient. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers may increase the metabolism of lonafarnib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the serum levels and effectiveness of lonafarnib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers with lonafarnib is contraindicated. DISCUSSION: With coadministration of a single oral dose of 50 mg lonafarnib (combined with a single oral dose of 100 mg ritonavir) following 600 mg rifampin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer) for 8 days, the area-under-curve (AUC) was reduced by 98% and the maximum concentration (Cmax) was reduced by 92%.(1) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, rifapentine, and St. John's wort.(2,3) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, modafinil, nafcillin, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Mavacamten/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 1-Contraindicated Drug Combination: This drug combination is contraindicated and generally should not be dispensed or administered to the same patient. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that induce the CYP3A4 isoenzyme may increase the metabolism of mavacamten.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the levels and effectiveness of mavacamten.(1-3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US and Canadian manufacturers of mavacamten state concurrent use of mavacamten with moderate CYP3A4 inducers is contraindicated.(1,2) The UK manufacturer of mavacamten states that management of mavacamten during concomitant use with moderate CYP3A4 inducers is dependent on CYP2C19 phenotype. Labeling recommends: -When initiating or increasing the dose of a moderate inducer in patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, monitor patients closely and adjust mavacamten dose based on clinical response. -When discontinuing or decreasing the dose of a moderate inducer in patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, decrease the dose of mavacamten to 2.5 mg, or pause therapy if dose is 2.5 mg. -No dose adjustment is warranted with moderate inducers in patients who are CYP2C19 intermediate, normal, rapid, or ultrarapid metabolizers.(3) DISCUSSION: Concomitant use of mavacamten (a single 15 mg dose) with a strong CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 inducer (rifampin 600 mg daily dose) is predicted to decrease mavacamten area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 87% and 22%, respectively, in CYP2C19 normal metabolizers, and by 69% and 4%, respectively, in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, elagolix, lesinurad, modafinil, nafcillin, pexidartinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(4,5) |

| Guanfacine/Strong & Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of guanfacine.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of guanfacine.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients maintained on guanfacine may need dosage adjustments if strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A4 are initiated or discontinued. The manufacturer of extended-release guanfacine recommends a starting dose of extended-release guanfacine initiated at up to double the recommended level of the weight based dosing in patients receiving strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A4. If a patient has been maintained on extended-release guanfacine and is started on a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer, the dose of extended-release guanfacine should be increased up to double the recommended weight based dose over 1 to 2 weeks. If a patient has been maintained on extended-release guanfacine and a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer, and the strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer is discontinued, the dose of extended-release guanfacine may need to be decreased to the recommended weight based dose over 1 to 2 weeks. Extended-release guanfacine target dose range for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is 0.05-0.12 mg/kg/day. Doses above 4 mg/day have not been evaluated in children ages 6-12 years and doses above 7 mg/day have not been evaluated in adolescents ages 13-17 years.(1) DISCUSSION: Rifampin (dosage not stated), a strong inducer of CYP3A4, decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of guanfacine (dosage not stated) by approximately 50%.(1) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, encorafenib, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifabutin, rifampin, rifapentine, and St. John's wort.(1-3) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(1-3) |

| Elbasvir-Grazoprevir/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of elbasvir and grazoprevir.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of elbasvir and grazoprevir.(1,2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Concurrent use of elbasvir-grazoprevir and a moderate CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended.(1,2) If concurrent use is required, monitor the patient for potential treatment failure and decreased elbasvir and grazoprevir levels. DISCUSSION: In single dose studies, rifampin increased levels of both elbasvir and grazoprevir. In a study in 14 subjects, rifampin (600 mg single IV dose) increased the maximum concentration (Cmax), area-under-curve (AUC), and minimum concentration (Cmin) of a single dose of elbasvir (50 mg) by 41%, 22%, and 31%, respectively. In a study in 14 subjects, rifampin (600 mg single oral dose) increased the Cmax, AUC, and Cmin of a single dose of elbasvir (50 mg) by 29%, 17%, and 21%, respectively. In a study in 12 subjects, rifampin (600 mg single IV dose) increased the Cmax, AUC, and Cmin of a single dose of grazoprevir (200 mg) by 10.94-fold, 10.21-fold, and 1.77-fold, respectively. In a study in 12 subjects, rifampin (600 mg single oral dose) increased the Cmax, AUC, and Cmin of a single dose of grazoprevir (200 mg) by 6.52-fold, 8.35-fold, and 1.61-fold, respectively.(1) However, multiple dose studies with rifampin showed decreased grazoprevir levels. In a study in 12 subjects, rifampin (600 mg orally) decreased the AUC and Cmin of grazoprevir (200 mg daily) by 7% and 90%, respectively. Cmax increased 16%.(1) In a study in 12 subjects, efavirenz (600 mg daily) decreased the Cmax, AUC, and Cmin of elbasvir (50 mg daily) by 45%, 34%, and 59%, respectively.(1) In a study in 12 subjects, efavirenz (600 mg daily) decreased the Cmax, AUC, and Cmin of grazoprevir (200 mg daily) by 87%, 82%, and 69%, respectively.(1) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(1-4) |

| Ibrexafungerp/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers may increase the metabolism of ibrexafungerp by CYP3A4.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers with ibrexafungerp may result in decreased levels and clinical effectiveness of ibrexafungerp.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with ibrexafungerp.(1) DISCUSSION: Ibrexafungerp is a substrate of CYP3A4. The manufacturer of ibrexafungerp states that concurrent use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers are likely to significantly reduce ibrexafungerp exposure, but this interaction has not been studied.(1) Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: apalutamide, barbiturates, belzutifan, bosentan, carbamazepine, cenobamate, dabrafenib, efavirenz, elagolix, encorafenib, enzalutamide, etravirine, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, lesinurad, lorlatinib, lumacaftor, mavacamten, mitapivat, mitotane, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, repotrectinib, rifabutin, rifampin, rifapentine, St. John's wort, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Ripretinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of ripretinib via this pathway.(1) Ripretinib and the active metabolite DP-5439 contribute to anticancer activity. CYP3A4 is the primary metabolism pathway for both ripretinib and the active metabolite DP-5439.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may alter the clinical effectiveness of ripretinib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid the concurrent use of ripretinib with moderate CYP3A4 inducers.(1) When possible, select alternative agents in place of the moderate CYP3A4 inducer. If the moderate CYP3A4 inducer cannot be avoided, increase the dose of ripretinib from 150 mg once daily to 150 mg twice daily during concurrent therapy. Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for reduced efficacy.(1) If the moderate CYP3A4 inducer is discontinued, reduce the dose of ripretinib back to 150 mg once daily 14 days after discontinuation of the moderate CYP3A4 inducer.(1) If a dose of ripretinib is missed (in patients taking twice daily dosing): -If less than 4 hours have passed since missed dose, patient should take the dose as soon as possible and then take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. -If more than 4 hours have passed since missed dose, patient should skip the missed dose and then take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time.(1) DISCUSSION: The primary metabolism pathway for ripretinib and DP-5439 is via CYP3A4.(1) In an interaction study of rifampin (a strong CYP3A inducer) and ripretinib, concurrent use decreased ripretinib concentration maximum (Cmax) by 18% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 61%, as well as decreased the active metabolite DP-5439 AUC by 57% and increased Cmax by 37%.(1) In a pharmacokinetic model of efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A inducer), concurrent use was predicted to decrease ripretinib Cmax by 24% and decrease AUC by 56%.(1) In an interaction study of itraconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) and ripretinib, concurrent use increased ripretinib Cmax by 36% and AUC by 99%. Concurrent use increased the AUC of DP-5439 by 99% with no change in Cmax.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph are: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Hormonal Contraceptives/Belzutifan SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Belzutifan is a weak to moderate CYP3A4 inducer. Coadministration of belzutifan with hormonal contraceptives may lead to contraceptive failure or an increase in breakthrough bleeding due to decreased hormonal concentrations.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of belzutifan can lead to ineffective hormonal contraceptive and cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Women of reproductive age should be counseled not to rely on hormonal contraceptives (including oral contraceptives, patches, implants, and/or IUDs) for contraception. Pregnant women and females of reproductive potential should be counseled on the potential risk to the fetus.(1) Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with belzutifan and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with belzutifan and for 1 week after the last dose.(1) Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with belzutifan.(1) For emergency contraception, the UK's Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) recommends that women who have used a CYP3A4 inducer in the previous 4 weeks should consider a non-hormonal emergency contraceptive (ie a copper IUD). If a non-hormonal emergency contraceptive is not an option, double the usual dose of levonorgestrel from 1.5 to 3 mg. Advise the patient to have a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy after use and to seek medical advice if they do become pregnant.(2) DISCUSSION: Belzutifan has not been studied with hormonal contraceptives. It can render some hormonal contraceptives ineffective and cause embryo-fetal harm. Women should use non-hormonal contraception during therapy.(1) In an animal reproduction study, oral administration of belzutifan to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal lethality, reduced fetal body weight, and fetal skeletal malformations at maternal exposures greater than or equal to 0.2 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose of 120 mg daily.(1) |

LAZCLUZE |
| Revumenib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of revumenib by CYP3A4 and increase formation of the M1 metabolite which contributes to revumenib's effects on the QTc interval.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of revumenib and increased risk of QT prolongation due to increased exposure to revumenib's M1 metabolite. The risk of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias including torsades de pointes may be increased.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk of QT prolongation or torsades de pointes may be increased in patients with cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart failure, myocardial infarction, history of torsades de pointes, congenital long QT syndrome), hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, bradycardia, female gender, or advanced age.(2) Concurrent use of more than one drug known to cause QT prolongation or higher systemic concentrations of either QT prolonging drug are additional risk factors for torsades de pointes. Factors which may increase systemic drug concentrations include rapid infusion of an intravenous dose or impaired metabolism or elimination of the drug (e.g. coadministration with an agent which inhibits its metabolism or elimination, genetic impairment in drug metabolism or elimination, and/or renal/hepatic dysfunction).(2) Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of revumenib states that concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided.(1) DISCUSSION: Revumenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Concomitant use of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer may decrease revumenib concentrations and increase M1 systemic exposure, resulting in decreased revumenib efficacy or increased risk of QT prolongation.(1) In clinical trials, QTc interval prolongation was reported as an adverse event in 29% of 135 patients treated with the recommended dosage of revumenib; 12% of patients had Grade 3 QTc prolongation. Revumenib increased the QTc interval in a concentration-dependent manner. At the mean steady-state Cmax using the highest approved recommended dosage of revumenib without CYP3A4 inhibitors, QTc increase was predicted to be 27 msec (upper bound of 90% confidence interval = 30 msec). At the steady-state Cmax using the highest approved recommended dosage of revumenib with CYP3A4 inhibitors, QTc increase was predicted to be 19 msec (upper bound of 90% confidence interval = 22 msec).(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, and tovorafenib.(3) |

| Exemestane/Selected Moderate-Weak CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of exemestane.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of exemestane.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of exemestane recommends that patients receiving concurrent therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inducer receive 50 mg of exemestane daily after a meal.(1) It may be prudent to consider a dosage increase for patients receiving weaker CYP3A4 inducers. DISCUSSION: In a study in 10 healthy postmenopausal subjects, pretreatment with rifampin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer, 600 mg daily for 14 days) decreased the area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of a single dose of exemestane (25 mg) by 54% and 41%, respectively.(1) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 80% or more and include: carbamazepine, enzalutamide, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifampin, and St. John's wort.(1-3) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 50-80% and include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) Weak inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 20-50% and include: armodafinil, bexarotene, brigatinib, brivaracetam, clobazam, danshen, darolutamide, dexamethasone, dicloxacillin, echinacea, elafibranor, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, floxacillin, garlic, gingko, ginseng, glycyrrhizin, lorlatinib, meropenem-vaborbactam, methylprednisolone, nevirapine, omaveloxolone, oritavancin, oxcarbazepine, pioglitazone, pitolisant, quercetin, relugolix, rufinamide, sarilumab, sulfinpyrazone, suzetrigine, tazemetostat, tecovirimat, terbinafine, ticlopidine, topiramate, troglitazone, vemurafenib, vinblastine, and zanubrutinib.(2,3) |

| Ubrogepant/Moderate and Weak CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of ubrogepant.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of ubrogepant.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends a dosage adjustment of ubrogepant when coadministered with moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducers. Initial dose of ubrogepant should be 100 mg. If a second dose is needed, the dose of ubrogepant should be 100 mg.(1) DISCUSSION: Coadministration of ubrogepant with rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, resulted in an 80% reduction in ubrogepant exposure. No dedicated drug interaction studies were conducted to assess concomitant use with moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducers. Dose adjustment for concomitant use of ubrogepant with moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducers is recommended based on a conservative prediction of 50% reduction in exposure of ubrogepant.(1) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 50-80% and include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pexidartinib, rifabutin, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) Weak inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 20-50% and include: armodafinil, bexarotene, brigatinib, brivaracetam, clobazam, danshen, dexamethasone, dicloxacillin, echinacea, elafibranor, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, floxacillin, garlic, genistein, ginseng, glycyrrhizin, meropenem-vaborbactam, methylprednisolone, nevirapine, omaveloxolone, oritavancin, oxcarbazepine, pioglitazone, pitolisant, relugolix, repotrectinib, rufinamide, sarilumab, sulfinpyrazone,suzetrigine, tazemetostat, tecovirimat, terbinafine, ticlopidine, topiramate, troglitazone, vemurafenib, vinblastine, and zanubrutinib.(2,3) |

| Rolapitant/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Rolapitant is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4. Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may increase the metabolism and clearance of rolapitant via CYP3A4.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use with moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may result in significantly decreased levels and effectiveness of rolapitant.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The UK manufacturer of rolapitant states that rolapitant is not recommended in patients already taking moderate CYP3A4 inducers.(1) If concomitant use is warranted, monitor the patient for decreased antiemetic efficacy. When possible and clinically appropriate, consider use of an alternative antiemetic or alternatives to the moderate CYP3A4 inducer. DISCUSSION: The effect of moderate CYP3A4 inducers on rolapitant has not been studied. The UK manufacturer of rolapitant does not recommend the concurrent use of rolapitant with moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Rifampin (600 mg daily for 14 days), a strong CYP3A4 inducer, decreased the Cmax and AUC of a single dose of rolapitant (180 mg on Day 7) by 30% and 85%, respectively. The half-life of rolapitant decreased from 176 hours to 41 hours.(3) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Belzutifan/Strong CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Belzutifan is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and UGT2B17, and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. Agents that are inhibitors of CYP2C19 may inhibit the metabolism of belzutifan.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of an inhibitor of CYP2C19 increases plasma exposure of belzutifan which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of belzutifan. This may increase the incidence or severity of anemia or hypoxia that can require a blood transfusion.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: UGT2B17 and CYP2C19 ultrarapid metabolizers may increase the incidence or severity of adverse effects, including anemia.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of belzutifan states concurrent administration of CYP2C19 inhibitors with belzutifan increases plasma exposure which may increase the incidence and severity of anemia or hypoxemia. Monitor patients closely for anemia or hypoxemia and reduce the dose of belzutifan as recommended.(1) Monitor for anemia before initiation of, and periodically throughout, treatment with belzutifan. Closely monitor patients who are dual UGT2B17 and CYP2C19 poor metabolizers due to potential increases in exposure that may increase the incidence or severity of anemia.(1) For patients with hemoglobin <9 g/dL, withhold belzutifan until the hemoglobin is greater than or equal to 9 g/dL, then resume at reduced dose or permanently discontinue belzutifan, depending on the severity of anemia.(1) See full prescribing information for dose modifications and recommendations.(1) DISCUSSION: The effect of concurrent administration inhibitors of CYP2C19 may cause an increase in plasma levels that can increase side effects, including anemia.(1) In clinical studies, patients who are poor metabolizers of UGT2B17 and CYP2C19 had higher belzutifan area-under-curve (AUC). The belzutifan AUC increased by 2-fold, 1.6-fold, and 3.2-fold in patients who were UGT2B17, CYP2C19, or dual UGT2B17 and CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, respectively.(1) Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: fluconazole, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and ticlopidine.(2,3) |

| Tacrolimus/Moderate and Weak CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducers may accelerate the metabolism of tacrolimus.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate or weak CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of tacrolimus.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of tacrolimus recommends monitoring tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations and adjusting tacrolimus dose if needed. Monitor clinical response closely.(1) DISCUSSION: A 13-year-old cystic fibrosis patient with a history of liver transplant on stable doses of tacrolimus underwent 2 separate courses of nafcillin therapy (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer). During the 1st course of nafcillin, his tacrolimus levels started to fall 3 days after starting nafcillin, became undetectable at day 8, and recovered to therapeutic levels without a change in tacrolimus dose 5 days after discontinuation of nafcillin. During the 2nd course of nafcillin, tacrolimus level became undetectable 4 days after starting nafcillin and recovered 3 days after stopping nafcillin.(2) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 50-80% and include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, modafinil, nafcillin, repotrectinib, telotristat, and tovorafenib.(3,4) Weak inducers of CYP3A4 would be expected to decrease the AUC of a sensitive 3A4 substrate by 20-50% and include: armodafinil, bexarotene, brigatinib, brivaracetam, clobazam, danshen, darolutamide, dexamethasone, dicloxacillin, echinacea, elafibranor, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, floxacillin, garlic, genistein, ginseng, glycyrrhizin, meropenem-vaborbactam, nevirapine, oritavancin, omaveloxolone, oxcarbazepine, pioglitazone, relugolix, rufinamide, sulfinpyrazone, suzetrigine, tazemetostat, tecovirimat, terbinafine, ticlopidine, topiramate, troglitazone, vinblastine, and zanubrutinib.(3,4) |

| Larotrectinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may increase the metabolism of larotrectinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of larotrectinib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of larotrectinib states that the concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers requires a dose modification. Double the dose of larotrectinib when coadministered with moderate CYP3A4 inducers. After the moderate CYP3A4 inducer has been discontinued for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives, resume the larotrectinib dose at the dose taken prior to initiating the CYP3A4 inducer.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study, efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer) was predicted to decrease area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 72% and 60%, respectively, compared to larotrectinib administered alone.(1) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(3-4) |

| Sildenafil (PAH)/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Sildenafil is metabolized by CYP3A4. Strong and moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may increase the metabolism of sildenafil.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a strong or moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in substantially decreased levels and effectiveness of sildenafil.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of sildenafil with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be monitored closely. An increased dosage of sildenafil may be needed. Reduce sildenafil dose to 20 mg three times daily when discontinuing treatment with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers.(1) DISCUSSION: Population pharmacokinetic analysis of data from patients in clinical trials found that sildenafil clearance increased about 3-fold when coadministered with mild CYP3A4 inducers.(1) A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of 55 healthy volunteers found that 10 days of bosentan (125 mg twice daily), a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of sildenafil by 55.4% and 62.6%, respectively. Sildenafil increased bosentan Cmax and AUC by 42% and 49.8%, respectively. The combination was well tolerated without serious adverse events.(2) In a study of 15 HIV-negative subjects, etravirine (800 mg twice daily for 14 days), a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, decreased the Cmax and AUC of sildenafil by 45% and 57%, respectively.(3) The authors of a review article on drug interactions in pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy state that phenytoin and rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducers) are not recommended with sildenafil due to an expected near-complete clearance of sildenafil.(4) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, encorafenib, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, rifapentine, and St. John's wort.(5,6) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(5,6) |

| Crinecerfont/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of crinecerfont.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may reduce the clinical effectiveness of crinecerfont.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of crinecerfont states that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers requires a dose adjustment of crinecerfont. Increase the evening dose of crinecerfont by 2-fold. Do not increase the morning dose. In adults, increase the dosage of crinecerfont to 100 mg in the morning and 200 mg in the evening. In pediatric patients 4 years and older weighing: - 10 kg to <20 kg: increase the crinecerfont dosage to 25 mg in the morning and 50 mg in the evening, - 20 kg to <55 kg: increase the crinecerfont dosage to 50 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening, - >=55 kg: increase the crinecerfont dosage to 100 mg in the morning and 200 mg in the evening.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study, concomitant use of rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) decreased crinecerfont maximum concentration (Cmax) by 23% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 62%.(1) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |
CRENESSITY |
| Apixaban; Rivaroxaban/Strong & Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Apixaban and rivaroxaban are both substrates of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Apixaban is about 20% metabolized and rivaroxaban is about 18% metabolized, mainly by CYP3A4.(1-8) Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of apixaban and rivaroxaban by CYP3A4. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of a CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of apixaban(1-4) or rivaroxaban,(5-8) especially in the setting of concurrent therapy with an agent that induces P-gp. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. Drug-associated risk factors include concurrent use of P-gp inducers. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US, Australian, Canadian, and UK manufacturers of apixaban provide recommendations regarding concurrent use with strong inducers of both CYP3A4 and P-gp, but do not provide guidance for concurrent use with agents that induce CYP3A4 alone.(1) The US manufacturer of rivaroxaban provides recommendations regarding concurrent use with strong inducers of both CYP3A4 and P-gp, but does not provide guidance for concurrent use with agents that induce CYP3A4 alone.(5) The Australian manufacturer of rivaroxaban states that concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inducers should be approached with caution.(6) The Canadian and UK labels for rivaroxaban state that concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided.(7-8) When considering concurrent therapy with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer with either apixaban or rivaroxaban, evaluate the patient's other concurrent therapy for CYP3A4 and P-gp effects. In patients who are taking strong CYP3A4 inducers and are also on concurrent P-gp inducers, consider the manufacturer recommendations for use with dual CYP3A4 and P-gp inducers. The US manufacturers of apixaban and rivaroxaban both state to avoid the concurrent use of agents that are combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducers in patients receiving apixaban or rivaroxaban.(1-8) In patients who are taking moderate CYP3A4 inducers and are also on concurrent P-gp inducers, It may be prudent to consider alternative therapy or monitor the patient closely. DISCUSSION: The concurrent use of apixaban or rivaroxaban with strong CYP3A4 inducers that are not also P-gp inducers has not been studied. Apixaban and rivaroxaban are metabolized primarily by CYP3A4. Strong CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the levels and effectiveness of apixaban and rivaroxaban. The US manufacturer of apixaban states that apixaban dose reduction is recommended when apixaban exposure increases by more than 50%, while efficacy is maintained when exposure is 25% lower. Therefore, no dose adjustment of apixaban is recommended for drug interactions that affect apixaban exposure by 75% to 150%.(9) An article evaluating the clinical significance of efflux transporters like P-gp and BCRP in apixaban exposure analyzed pharmacokinetic data from drug-drug interaction studies and concluded that all apixaban interactions can be explained by inhibition of intestinal CYP3A4. The authors explain that apixaban is a highly permeable and soluble compound, so its ability to undergo passive diffusion renders the role of membrane transporters irrelevant, as evidenced by a lack of change in apixaban absorption rate in the presence of drugs known to inhibit P-gp and BCRP.(10) Strong CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: encorafenib, ivosidenib, lumacaftor, and mitotane.(11,12) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(11,12) |
