Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
---|---|
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) |

Ibrexafungerp/Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that inhibit the CYP3A4 isoenzyme may inhibit the metabolism of ibrexafungerp.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase levels of and effects from ibrexafungerp.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The prescribing information for ibrexafungerp advises that patients on concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should receive a reduced ibrexafungerp dose of 150 mg approximately 12 hours apart, in the morning and in the evening, for one day.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study of healthy subjects, ketoconazole (400 mg once daily for 15 days, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor), increased the ibrexafungerp area-under-curve (AUC) by 5.8-fold and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 2.5-fold.(1) Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: adagrasib, boceprevir, ceritinib, clarithromycin, cobicistat, idelalisib, indinavir, itraconazole, josamycin, ketoconazole, lonafarnib, lopinavir, mibefradil, mifepristone, nefazodone, nelfinavir, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, paritaprevir, posaconazole, ribociclib, saquinavir, telaprevir, telithromycin, tipranavir, troleandomycin, tucatinib, or voriconazole.(2,3) |

The following precautions are available for BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp citrate):
Safety and effectiveness of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis have been established in post-menarchal pediatric females; ibrexafungerp is also indicated for the reduction in the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis in these patients. Use in post-menarchal pediatric patients is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of ibrexafungerp in adult non-pregnant females with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data from post-menarchal pediatric females. The safety and effectiveness of ibrexafungerp have not been established in pre-menarchal pediatric females.

There is insufficient evidence with ibrexafungerp in pregnant females to evaluate a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Based on findings from animal studies, ibrexafungerp is contraindicated in pregnancy because it may cause fetal harm. In pregnant rabbits, oral ibrexafungerp administered during organogenesis (gestation days 7 through 19) was associated with rare malformations including absent forelimb(s), absent hindpaw, absent ear pinna, absent thyroid gland, craniorachischisis, thoracogastroschisis, and trunk kyphosis at dosages up to 50 mg/kg per day (greater than or equal to approximately 5 times the human exposure at the recommended human dose).
No changes in embryo-fetal survival or fetal body weights were observed. Oral ibrexafungerp administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis (gestation days 6 through 17) was not associated with fetal toxicity or increased fetal malformations at dosages up to 50 mg/kg per day (approximately 5 times the human exposure at the recommended human dosage). In a pre-postnatal study in rats, ibrexafungerp administered from gestation day 6 through the lactation period (until lactation day 20) demonstrated no maternal toxicity or adverse effects on survival, growth, behavior, or reproduction of first-generation offspring at dosages up to 50 mg/kg per day.
There is a pregnancy safety study for ibrexafungerp. If ibrexafungerp is inadvertently administered during pregnancy or if pregnancy is detected within 4 days after a patient receives ibrexafungerp, pregnant females exposed to ibrexafungerp and their clinician should report pregnancies to the manufacturer (SCYNEXIS, Inc.) at 888-982-7299 .

There are no data on the presence of ibrexafungerp in human or animal milk, the effects on the breast-fed child, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for ibrexafungerp and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from ibrexafungerp or from the underlying maternal condition.
Clinical studies with ibrexafungerp did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects. No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of ibrexafungerp were observed in geriatric patients compared to younger adults.
