| Revumenib/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: 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) |

| Citalopram (Greater Than 20 mg)/Select CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Citalopram is primarily metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of an agent that inhibits CYP2C19 may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from citalopram, including including risks for serotonin syndrome or prolongation of the QTc interval.(1-5) Prolongation of the QT interval may result in life-threatening arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes.(2) Symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include tremor, agitation, diaphoresis, hyperreflexia, clonus, tachycardia, hyperthermia, and muscle rigidity.(5) 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, advanced age, poor metabolizer status at CYP2C19, or higher blood concentrations of citalopram.(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) Predisposing factors for serotonin-related adverse effects include use in the elderly, in patients with hepatic impairment, and in patients receiving multiple agents which increase central serotonin levels.(1,5) If concurrent therapy is warranted, consider obtaining serum calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels and monitoring ECG at baseline and at regular intervals. Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The dose of citalopram should be limited to 20 mg in patients receiving concurrent therapy with an inhibitor of CYP2C19.(1,4) Evaluate the patient for other drugs, diseases and conditions which increase risk for QT prolongation and correct risk factors (e.g. correct hypokalemia, discontinue other QT prolonging drugs) when possible.(1,2) Weigh the specific benefits versus risks for each patient. The US manufacturer recommends ECG monitoring for citalopram patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, taking concomitant QT prolonging medications or receiving concurrent therapy.(4) Citalopram should be discontinued in patients with persistent QTc measurements greater than 500 ms.(2) If concurrent therapy is warranted, consider obtaining serum calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels and monitoring ECG at baseline and at regular intervals. Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Instruct patients to report muscle twitching, tremors, shivering and stiffness, fever, heavy sweating, heart palpitations, restlessness, confusion, agitation, trouble with coordination, or severe diarrhea. DISCUSSION: Concurrent use of citalopram (40 mg daily) and cimetidine (400 mg twice daily) for 8 days increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of citalopram by 39% and 43%, respectively.(1) Inhibitors of CYP2C19 include: abrocitinib, allicin (garlic derivative), armodafinil, asciminib, berotralstat, cannabidiol (CBD), cenobamate, cimetidine strengths > or = 200 mg, elagolix, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, esomeprazole, etravirine, fedratinib, felbamate, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, givosiran, isoniazid, moclobemide, modafinil, obeticholic acid, omeprazole, piperine, rolapitant, stiripentol, tecovirimat, treosulfan, and vonoprazan.(7,8) |
CELEXA, CITALOPRAM HBR |
| Clopidogrel/Selected CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Clopidogrel is a prodrug and is converted to its active metabolite via a 2 step process. The first conversion step is mediated by CYP2C19, CYP1A2 and CYP2B6, while the second step is mediated by CYP3A4, CYP2B6 and CYP2C19.(1,2) CYP2C19 contributes to both steps and is thought to be the more important enzyme involved in formation of the pharmacologically active metabolite.(1) Inhibitors of CYP2C19 may decrease the conversion of clopidogrel to its active metabolite.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of CYP2C19 inhibitors may result in decreased clopidogrel effectiveness, resulting in increased risk of adverse cardiac events. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Evaluate medication list or interaction alerts to determine if patient is receiving additional drugs which may also inhibit clopidogrel active metabolite formation. The US manufacturer of clopidogrel states that alternatives to clopidogrel should be considered in patients who are poor metabolizers of CYP2C19.(1) It would be prudent to assume that patients taking strong inhibitors of CYP2C19 are poor metabolizers of this isoenzyme. Moderate or weak inhibitors of CYP2C19 may have less of an effect on this interaction. Consider alternatives to CYP2C19 inhibitors in patients stabilized on clopidogrel and alternatives to clopidogrel in patients stabilized on CYP2C19 inhibitors. If concurrent therapy is warranted, consider appropriate testing to assure adequate inhibition of platelet reactivity. DISCUSSION: Clopidogrel is a prodrug and requires conversion to the active metabolite by CYP2C19. Clopidogrel is not a sensitive substrate for CYP2C19 as CYP3A4, CYP2B6 and CYP1A2 also participate in active metabolite formation. Studies have not evaluated this specific drug combination; the actual magnitude of this interaction is not known. Given the possible consequences of clopidogrel treatment failure, it would be prudent to avoid concomitant use of clopidogrel and CYP2C19 inhibitors when possible. Selected CYP2C19 inhibitors include: armodafinil, berotralstat, cenobamate, elagolix, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, fedratinib, fexinidazole, givosiran, lonafarnib, moclobemide, modafinil, obeticholic acid, osilodrostat, piperine, pirtobrutinib, rolapitant, rucaparib, tecovirimat, treosulfan, and triclabendazole.(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) |

| Pimavanserin/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 or moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of pimavanserin.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a strong or moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of pimavanserin.(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 pimavanserin recommends avoiding concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers.(1) DISCUSSION: Pimavanserin is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 while other metabolic enzymes CYP2J2, CYP2D6 and FMO play a lesser role.(1) In a study of subjects pretreated with 7 days of rifampin (600 mg daily, a strong CYP3A4 inducer), a single dose of pimavanserin (34 mg) produced an area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) that was 91 % and 71 % lower, respectively, than when pimavanserin is given without rifampin.(1) A physiology-based pharmacokinetic model predicted that efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer) would decrease pimavanserin AUC and Cmax by 70 % and 60 %, respectively.(1) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, rifapentine, and St. John's wort.(3-4) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, and tovorafenib.(3-4) |

| Abemaciclib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Abemaciclib is a substrate of CYP3A4. Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of abemaciclib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of abemaciclib.(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 abemaciclib states to avoid concurrent administration with moderate CYP3A4 inducers and consider alternative agents.(1) DISCUSSION: Abemaciclib is a substrate of CYP3A4.(1) Concurrent administration of rifampin (600 mg once daily, a strong CYP3A4 inducer) with a single 200 mg dose of abemaciclib decreased the relative potency adjusted unbound area-under-curve (AUC) of abemaciclib and its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by 70% in healthy subjects.(1) Concurrent administration of efavirenz, bosentan, and modafinil (moderate CYP3A4 inducers) are predicted to decrease the relative potency adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib and its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by 53%, 41%, and 29%, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, tipranavir/ritonavir and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Doravirine/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 are expected to increase the metabolism of doravirine.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of doravirine.(1-3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Recommendations for concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers with doravirine vary depending on the reference. The manufacturer of the fixed dose combination of doravirine-islatravir states concurrent use with moderate CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended.(3) The DHHS HIV guidelines state when coadministering doravirine with bosentan, dexamethasone, and eslicarbazepine (moderate CYP3A4 inducers): consider an alternative antiretroviral or alternative drug to the moderate CYP3A4 inducer. It would be prudent to consider alternative drugs to other moderate CYP3A4 inducers. If co-administration is necessary monitor virologic response.(4) The University of Liverpool HIV Drug Interactions Database states concurrent use with moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided. If concurrent use cannot be avoided, dose adjustment of doravirine to 100 mg twice daily is recommended and should be maintained for at least 2 weeks following cessation of the moderate CYP3A4 inducer. If a patient is on eslicarbazepine, doravirine should not be coadministered.(5) The manufacturer of single ingredient doravirine and the fixed dose combination of doravirine-lamivudine-tenofovir does not have a recommendation for concurrent use with moderate CYP3A4 inducers.(1,3) DISCUSSION: Doravirine is metabolized by CYP3A4. Moderate CYP3A4 inducers are expected to reduce doravirine levels, which may lead to loss of response.(1) In a study in 12 subjects, rifabutin (300 mg daily), a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, decreased the area-under-curve (AUC) and 24 hour concentration (C24) of a single dose of doravirine (100 mg) by 50% and 68%, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dexamethasone, dipyrone, elagolix, eslicarbazepine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine and tovorafenib.(3-4) |

| Brigatinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Brigatinib is a substrate of CYP3A4. Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of brigatinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of brigatinib.(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 brigatinib states to avoid concurrent administration with moderate CYP3A4 inducers. If concurrent use cannot be avoided, increase the daily dose of brigatinib in 30 mg increments every 7 days, as tolerated, to a maximum of twice the brigatinib dose that was tolerated prior to initiation of the moderate CYP3A4 inducer. After discontinuation of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, resume the brigatinib dose that was tolerated prior to initiation of the inducer.(1) DISCUSSION: Brigatinib is a substrate of CYP3A4.(1) Concurrent administration of rifampin (600 mg daily, a strong CYP3A4 inducer) with a single 180 mg dose of brigatinib decreased the brigatinib maximum concentration (Cmax) by 60% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 80% compared to brigatinib alone. Moderate CYP3A4 inducers are expected to decrease the AUC of brigatinib by 50%.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, tipranavir/ritonavir and tovorafenib.(2-3) |

| Pretomanid/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 induce the metabolism of pretomanid by CYP3A4.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers and pretomanid may result in decreased levels and clinical effectiveness of pretomanid.(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 pretomanid recommends avoiding concurrent use with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers during pretomanid therapy.(1) Patients receiving concurrent therapy with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers and pretomanid should be observed for decreased levels and clinical effectiveness. DISCUSSION: In a clinical study, concurrent use of pretomanid 200 mg with efavirenz 600 mg for 7 days resulted in decreased mean area-under-curve (AUC) by 35% and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 28%.(1) In a clinical study, concurrent use of pretomanid 200 mg with rifampin 600 mg for 7 days resulted in decreased mean AUC by 66% and Cmax by 53%.(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.(1,2) |
PRETOMANID |
| Intravenous and Oral Lefamulin/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Lefamulin is a substrate of CYP3A4. Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of lefamulin.(1) Oral lefamulin tablets may inhibit the metabolism of agents that are also sensitive CYP3A4 substrates.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of lefamulin.(1) Coadministration of oral lefamulin with agents that are also sensitive CYP3A4 substrates may result in elevated levels and toxicities of the sensitive CYP3A4 substrate. 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 lefamulin states that concurrent use with moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided.(1) Concomitant use of lefamulin tablets with sensitive CYP3A4 substrates requires close monitoring for adverse effects of these drugs.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study, concurrent administration of rifampin (a strong inducer) with lefamulin injection decreased lefamulin area-under-the-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 28% and 8%.(1) In a study, concurrent administration of rifampin (a strong inducer) with oral lefamulin (tablets) decreased lefamulin AUC and Cmax by 72% and 57%.(1) In a study, oral lefamulin tablets administered concomitantly with and at 2 or 4 hours before oral midazolam (a CYP3A4 substrate) increased the area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of midazolam by 200% and 100%, respectively. No clinically significant effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics was observed when co-administered with lefamulin injection.(1) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, modafinil, nafcillin, rifabutin, telotristat, and tovorafenib.(2-3) |

| Hormonal Contraceptives/Cenobamate SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Cenobamate may induce the CYP3A4 mediated metabolism of hormonal contraceptives.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of cenobamate may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Women of reproductive age should be counseled not to rely on hormonal contraceptives for contraception. According to the US manufacturer, women should use additional or alternative non-hormonal methods of birth control during cenobamate therapy.(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 (i.e., 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 she does become pregnant.(2) DISCUSSION: Cenobamate may induce the CYP3A4 mediated metabolism of hormonal contraceptives. The effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives may be reduced when administered concomitantly with cenobamate. Women should use additional or alternative non-hormonal birth control.(1) |

| Phenytoin/Cenobamate SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Cenobamate may inhibit the CYP2C19-mediated metabolism of phenytoin.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of cenobamate and phenytoin may result in elevated levels of phenytoin and phenytoin toxicity.(1) Phenytoin has a narrow therapeutic range. Early symptoms of phenytoin toxicity may include nystagmus, ataxia, dysarthria, tremor, hyperreflexia, lethargy, slurred speech, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting. Severe toxicity may produce organ dysfunction (e.g. coma, irreversible cerebellar dysfunction and atrophy, hypotension, bradycardia, seizures, and cardiac arrest) and may be fatal.(2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Renal impairment, hepatic impairment, or hypoalbuminemia. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients maintained on phenytoin should be carefully monitored if cenobamate is initiated or discontinued. The manufacturer of cenobamate states that the dosage of phenytoin should be gradually decreased by up to 50% when cenobamate is being titrated.(1,3-5) Monitor the patient for signs of hydantoin toxicity (e.g. nystagmus, ataxia, dysarthria, tremor, hyperreflexia, lethargy, slurred speech, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting).(2) DISCUSSION: In a study, cenobamate (200 mg daily) increased phenytoin mean maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by 70% and 84%, respectively.(1) |

| Ibrutinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that induce the CYP3A4 isoenzyme may induce the metabolism of ibrutinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the levels and effectiveness of ibrutinib.(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 moderate CYP3A4 inducers in patients receiving therapy with ibrutinib.(1) Consider the use of alternative agents with less enzyme induction potential.(1) DISCUSSION: The coadministration of rifampin decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of ibrutinib by more than 13-fold and 10-fold.(1) In a pharmacokinetic model, efavirenz (600 mg daily), a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, was predicted to decrease the Cmax and AUC of ibrutinib (560 mg) by 2.4-fold and 2.5-fold, respectively.(2) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph 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.(4) |

| 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.(1-3) 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.(1-3) 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.(1-3) 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.(1-3) 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 the presence of a moderate CYP3A inducer, a doubled ripretinib dose (twice daily rather than once daily), is predicted to result in a 17% reduction in combined AUC of ripretinib and active metabolite DP-5439, compared to the usual recommended once daily dose with no inducer present.(2) 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.(4,5) |

| Duvelisib/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 accelerate the metabolism of duvelisib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may alter the clinical effectiveness of duvelisib.(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 duvelisib 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 duvelisib on day 12 of concurrent therapy as follows: - If the initial dose of duvelisib is 25 mg twice daily, increase the duvelisib dose to 40 mg twice daily. - If the initial dose of duvelisib is 15 mg twice daily, increase the duvelisib dose to 25 mg twice daily. Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for reduced efficacy.(1) If the moderate CYP3A4 inducer is discontinued, reduce the dose of duvelisib back to the initial dose 14 days after discontinuation of the moderate CYP3A4 inducer.(1) DISCUSSION: The primary metabolism pathway for duvelisib is CYP3A4.(1) In an interaction study, etravirine (a moderate CYP3A inducer) 200 mg twice daily decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of single dose duvelisib 25 mg by 16% and 35%, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, modafinil, nafcillin, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2-4) |

| Mitapivat/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 increase the metabolism of mitapivat.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of mitapivat.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Consider alternative therapies that are not moderate CYP3A4 inducers in patients who are on mitapivat. If concurrent use is necessary, monitor hemoglobin closely and titrate mitapivat dose, not to exceed a maximum dose of 100 mg twice daily.(1) DISCUSSION: Mitapivat is a CYP3A4 substrate. In a pharmacokinetic study with 5 or 20 mg twice daily of mitapivat, efavirenz decreased area-under-curve (AUC) and concentration maximum (Cmax) by 60% and 30%, respectively. After mitapivat doses of 50 mg twice daily, efavirenz decreased AUC and Cmax by 55% and 24%, respectively.(1) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

MECHANISM OF ACTION: Ganaxolone is a substrate of CYP3A4. Strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may induce the metabolism of ganaxolone.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of ganaxolone.(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 ganaxolone states that concurrent use with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided. If concurrent use is unavoidable, consider increasing the dose of ganaxolone. Do not exceed the recommended maximum daily dose.(1) In patients who are stable on ganaxolone and are initiated on anticonvulsants that are CYP3A4 inducers, consider increasing the dose of ganaxolone. Do not exceed the recommended maximum daily dose.(1) DISCUSSION: Co-administration of rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, decreased the ganaxolone concentration maximum (Cmax) by 57% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 68%.(1) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, encorafenib, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, rifapentine, and St. John's wort.

| Cariprazine/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Cariprazine and its major active metabolite DDCAR are metabolized by CYP3A4. Strong and moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may accelerate the metabolism of cariprazine.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a strong or moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of cariprazine.(1-4) 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 cariprazine does not recommend concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inducers.(1) The Australian, Canadian, and UK manufacturers of cariprazine state that concurrent use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers is contraindicated.(2-4) DISCUSSION: Cariprazine and its active metabolites are primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Coadministration with CYP3A4 inducers has not been studied and the net effect is unclear. Due to the long half life of the active metabolites, it takes several weeks for cariprazine to reach steady state after dosage changes.(1) 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) |

| Erlotinib/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 erlotinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of a CYP3A4 inducer may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of erlotinib.(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 CYP3A4 inducers in patients receiving therapy with erlotinib. Consider the use of alternative agents with less enzyme induction potential.(1) Consider increasing the dosage of erlotinib by 50 mg increments as tolerated at two week intervals (to a maximum of 450 mg) while closely monitoring the patient. The highest dosage studied with concurrent rifampin is 450 mg. If the dosage of erlotinib is increased, it will need to be decreased when the inducer is discontinued.(1) DISCUSSION: Pretreatment and concurrent therapy with rifampin increased erlotinib clearance by 3-fold and decreased the erlotinib area-under-curve (AUC) by 66% to 80%. This is equivalent to a dose of about 30 mg to 50 mg in NSCLC.(1) In a study, pretreatment with rifampin for 11 days decreased the AUC of a single 450 mg dose of erlotinib to 57.6% of the AUC observed with a single 150 mg dose of erlotinib.(1) In a case report, coadministration of phenytoin (180mg daily) and erlotinib (150mg daily) increased the phenytoin concentration from 8.2mcg/ml to 24.2mcg/ml and decreased the erlotinib concentration 12-fold (from 1.77mcg/ml to 0.15mcg/ml) and increased the erlotinib clearance by 10-fold (from 3.53 L/h to 41.7 L/h).(2) In a study, concurrent use of sorafenib (400 mg twice daily) and erlotinib (150 mg daily) decreased the concentration minimum (Cmin), concentration maximum (Cmax), and AUC of erlotinib.(3) In an animal study, concurrent use of dexamethasone and erlotinib decreased the AUC of erlotinib by 0.6-fold.(4) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: barbiturates, encorafenib, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, and rifapentine.(5,6) Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(5,6) Weak inducers of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, armodafinil, bexarotene, brigatinib, brivaracetam, clobazam, danshen, darolutamide, dicloxacillin, echinacea, eslicarbazepine, flucloxacillin, garlic, genistein, ginkgo, ginseng, glycyrrhizin, mobocertinib, nevirapine, omaveloxolone, oritavancin, oxcarbazepine, pioglitazone, pitolisant, quercetin, relugolix, rufinamide, sarilumab, sulfinpyrazone, sunvozertinib, tazemetostat, tecovirimat, terbinafine, ticlopidine, topiramate, troglitazone, vemurafenib, vinblastine, and zanubrutinib.(5,6) |

| Olaparib/Strong & Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that induce the CYP3A4 isoenzyme may induce the metabolism of olaparib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the levels and effectiveness of olaparib.(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 strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers in patients receiving therapy with olaparib.(1) Consider the use of alternatives with little to no induction potential. DISCUSSION: In a drug interaction trial, olaparib area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) decreased 87% and 71% respectively when olaparib was administered with rifampin. Based upon simulated models, a moderate CYP3A4 inducer is predicted to decrease olaparib AUC by 50-60% and Cmax by 20-30%.(1-3) Strong inducers of CYP3A4 include: apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, encorafenib, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, rifapentine, and St. John's wort.

| Pralsetinib/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 pralsetinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer may result in a loss of pralsetinib efficacy.(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 pralsetinib with moderate CYP3A4 inducers.(1) If coadministration with a moderate CYP3A4 inducer cannot be avoided, increase the dose of pralsetinib on day 7 of coadministration with pralsetinib as follows: -If the current dose is 400 mg once daily, increase the dose to 600 mg daily. -If the current dose is 300 mg once daily, increase the dose to 500 mg daily. -If the current dose is 200 mg once daily, increase the dose to 300 mg daily. After discontinuation of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer for at least 14 days, resume the previous pralsetinib dose prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A4 inducer.(1) Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for reduced efficacy. DISCUSSION: Coadministration of efavirenz 600 mg once daily is expected to decrease pralsetinib concentration maximum (Cmax) by 18% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 45%.(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) |
GAVRETO |
| Praziquantel/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 praziquantel.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of a moderate inducer of CYP3A4 may decrease the levels and effectiveness of praziquantel.(1,2) 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 praziquantel recommends avoiding concomitant administration with moderate CYP3A4 inducers due to the risk of a clinically significant decrease in praziquantel plasma concentration which may lead to reduced therapeutic effect of praziquantel.(2) In patients receiving a clinically significant CYP3A4 inducer drug who need immediate treatment for schistosomiasis, alternative agents for schistosomiasis should be considered, where possible. If praziquantel treatment is necessary immediately, increase monitoring for reduced anthelmintic efficacy associated with praziquantel, when used in combination with a moderate CYP3A4 inducer.(2) In patients receiving a clinically significant CYP3A4 inducer drug whose treatment could be delayed, discontinue the CYP3A4 inducer drug at least 2 to 4 weeks before administration of praziquantel and, where possible, consider starting alternative medications that are not CYP3A4 inducers. The CYP3A4 inducer drug can be restarted 1 day after completion of praziquantel treatment, if needed.(2) DISCUSSION: In a crossover study, 20 healthy subjects ingested a single 40 mg/kg oral dose of praziquantel following pre-treatment with oral efavirenz (400 mg daily for 13 days). Oral efavirenz reduced the mean praziquantel area-under-curve (AUC) by 77% and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 79%, when coadministered with praziquantel compared to praziquantel given alone.(2) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(3-4) |

|---|---|
| Citalopram (Less than or Equal To 20 mg)/Selected CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Citalopram is primarily metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of an agent that inhibits CYP2C19 may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from citalopram, including including risks for serotonin syndrome or prolongation of the QTc interval.(1-5) Prolongation of the QT interval may result in life-threatening arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes.(2) Symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include tremor, agitation, diaphoresis, hyperreflexia, clonus, tachycardia, hyperthermia, and muscle rigidity.(5) 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, advanced age, poor metabolizer status at CYP2C19, or higher blood concentrations of citalopram.(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) Predisposing factors for serotonin-related adverse effects include use in the elderly, in patients with hepatic impairment, and in patients receiving multiple agents which increase central serotonin levels.(1,5) If concurrent therapy is warranted, consider obtaining serum calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels and monitoring ECG at baseline and at regular intervals. Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The dose of citalopram should be limited to 20 mg in patients receiving concurrent therapy with an inhibitor of CYP2C19.(1,4) Evaluate the patient for other drugs, diseases and conditions which increase risk for QT prolongation and correct risk factors (e.g. correct hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, discontinue other QT prolonging drugs) when possible.(1,2) Weigh the specific benefits versus risks for each patient. The US manufacturer recommends ECG monitoring for citalopram patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, taking concomitant QT prolonging medications or receiving concurrent therapy.(4) Citalopram should be discontinued in patients with persistent QTc measurements greater than 500 ms.(2) If concurrent therapy is warranted, consider obtaining serum calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels and monitoring ECG at baseline and at regular intervals. Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Instruct patients to report muscle twitching, tremors, shivering and stiffness, fever, heavy sweating, heart palpitations, restlessness, confusion, agitation, trouble with coordination, or severe diarrhea. DISCUSSION: Concurrent use of citalopram (40 mg daily) and cimetidine (400 mg twice daily) for 8 days increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of citalopram by 39% and 43%, respectively.(1) Inhibitors of CYP2C19 include: abrocitinib, allicin (garlic derivative), armodafinil, asciminib, berotralstat, cannabidiol (CBD), cenobamate, cimetidine strengths > or = 200 mg, elagolix, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, esomeprazole, etravirine, fedratinib, felbamate, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, givosiran, isoniazid, moclobemide, modafinil, obeticholic acid, omeprazole, piperine, rolapitant, stiripentol, tecovirimat, treosulfan, and vonoprazan.(7,8) |
CELEXA, CITALOPRAM HBR |
| Clobazam/Selected Moderate CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Clobazam's active metabolite, N-desmethylclobazam, is metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19 may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from the active metabolite of clobazam, including profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and/or death.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The dosage of clobazam may need to be adjusted when initiating or discontinuing a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19.(1) When initiating clobazam in a patient maintained on a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19, it would be prudent to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for dosage adjustments in patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers. In these patients, consider a starting dose of 5 mg/day and reduce weekly dosage adjustments to half the normal increase. Based on clinical response, the dosage may be titrated to normal dosage levels based on weight group at Day 21.(1) When initiating a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19 in a patient maintained on clobazam monitor for increased effects from clobazam until inhibitor concentration reaches steady-state and adjust dose accordingly.(1-4) DISCUSSION: The active metabolite of clobazam, N-desmethylclobazam, is metabolized by CYP2C19. Levels of N-desmethylclobazam are 3-5 times higher in poor metabolizers of CYP2C19 and 2 times higher in intermediate metabolizers of CYP2C19. Thus, moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19 are expected to result in a 2-fold or higher increase in levels of N-desmethylclobazam as well.(1) Selected moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19 include: abrocitinib, cannabidiol, cenobamate, fluoxetine, moclobemide, and voriconazole.(5) One or more of the drug pairs linked to this monograph have been included in a list of interactions that could be considered for classification as "non-interruptive" in EHR systems. This DDI subset was vetted by an expert panel commissioned by the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology. |

| Escitalopram (Greater Than 15 mg)/Selected CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: At lower systemic concentrations, escitalopram is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19; at higher concentrations is also metabolized by CYP3A4.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of an agent which significantly inhibits CYP2C19, or which inhibits both CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 may result in elevated concentrations and toxicity from escitalopram, including risks for serotonin syndrome or prolongation of the QTc interval.(1,5) Prolongation of the QT interval may result in life-threatening arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes.(2) Symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include tremor, agitation, diaphoresis, hyperreflexia, clonus, tachycardia, hyperthermia, and muscle rigidity.(3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk of QT prolongation may be increased in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart failure, myocardial infarction), hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, bradycardia, female sex, advanced age, poor metabolizer status at CYP2C19, concurrent use of more than one agent known to cause QT prolongation, or with higher blood concentrations of escitalopram.(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) Predisposing factors for serotonin-related adverse effects include use in the elderly, in patients with hepatic impairment, and in patients receiving multiple agents which increase central serotonin levels.(1,3) If concurrent therapy is warranted, consider obtaining serum calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels and monitoring ECG at baseline and at regular intervals. Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Evaluate patient for other drugs, diseases and conditions which may further increase risk for QT prolongation and correct risk factors (e.g. correct hypokalemia, discontinue other QT prolonging drugs) when possible.(2,3) It would be prudent to limit the escitalopram dose to 10 mg daily in patients with QT prolonging risk factors who also receive concurrent therapy with selected CYP2C19 inhibitors.(5) Weigh the specific benefits versus risks for each patient. If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Instruct patients to report muscle twitching, tremors, shivering and stiffness, fever, heavy sweating, heart palpitations, restlessness, confusion, agitation, trouble with coordination, or severe diarrhea. DISCUSSION: A thorough QT study evaluating escitalopram 10 mg or 30 mg once daily was conducted; a change of 10 msec for upper bound of the 95% confidence level is the threshold for regulatory concern. In this study, changes to the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval were 6.4 msec and 12.6 msec for the 10 mg and supratherapeutic 30 mg dose respectively. The Cmax for 30 mg was 1.7-fold higher than the Cmax for the maximum recommended escitalopram dose of 20 mg. Systemic exposure at the 30 mg dose was similar to expected steady state concentrations in 2C19 poor metabolizers following a 20 mg escitalopram dose.(1) In an interaction study, 30 mg of omeprazole, an irreversible inhibitor of CYP2C19 was administered daily for 6 days. On day 5 a single dose of escitalopram 20 mg was also administered; the area-under-curve (AUC) of escitalopram was increased by 50%. Manufacturer prescribing information recommends a maximum citalopram dose of 20mg daily in patients receiving CYP2C19 inhibitors.(1) Inhibitors of CYP2C19 include: abrocitinib, allicin (garlic derivative), armodafinil, asciminib, berotralstat, cannabidiol (CBD), cenobamate, cimetidine strengths > or = 200 mg, elagolix, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, esomeprazole, etravirine, fedratinib, felbamate, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, givosiran, isoniazid, moclobemide, modafinil, obeticholic acid, omeprazole, piperine, rolapitant, stiripentol, tecovirimat, treosulfan, and vonoprazan.(4) |

| 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, sunvozertinib, suzetrigine, tazemetostat, tecovirimat, terbinafine, ticlopidine, topiramate, troglitazone, vemurafenib, vinblastine, and zanubrutinib.(2,3) |
AROMASIN, EXEMESTANE |
| Perampanel/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of perampanel by CYP3A4.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers and perampanel may result in decreased levels and clinical effectiveness of perampanel.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving concurrent therapy with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers and perampanel should be observed for decreased anticonvulsant levels and clinical effectiveness. The manufacturer of perampanel recommends a starting dose of 4 mg once daily at bedtime in patients receiving concurrent therapy with CYP3A4 inducers. Dose increases are recommended by 2 mg increments once daily based on clinical response and tolerability, no more frequently than at weekly intervals. The highest studied dose with concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs was 12 mg once daily.(1) The dose of the anticonvulsant may need to be adjusted if a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer is added to or removed from therapy.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study in healthy subjects, carbamazepine 300 mg BID decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of a single 2 mg tablet dose of perampanel by 26% and 67%, respectively. The half-life (t1/2) of perampanel was shortened from 56.8 hours to 25 hours. In clinical studies examining partial-onset and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, a population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that perampanel AUC was reduced by 64% in patients on carbamazepine compared to the AUC in patients not on enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs.(1) In a study in partial-onset and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, a population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that perampanel AUC was reduced by 48% in patients on oxcarbazepine compared to patients not on enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs.(1) In a study in partial-onset and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, a population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that perampanel AUC was reduced by 43% in patients on phenytoin compared to patients not on enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs.(1) In a study in partial-onset and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in clinical trials (40 patients co-administered phenobarbital and 9 patients co-administered primidone), no significant effect on perampanel AUC was found. A modest effect of phenobarbital and primidone on perampanel concentrations cannot be excluded.(1) In a study in 76 patients, concentration-to-dose (CD) ratio of perampanel was assessed with and without concurrent antiepileptic agents. In patients only on perampanel the mean CD ratio was 3963 ng/mL/mg/kg (range: 1793-13,299) compared to the mean CD ratio in patients using enzyme-inducing AEDs [1760 (range: 892-3090), 2256 (range: 700-4703), and 1120 (range: 473-1853) ng/mL/mg/kg in patients taking phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine, respectively], and carbamazepine had a significantly greater reduction in the CD ratio compared with phenytoin or phenobarbital (P < 0.001).(3) Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: apalutamide, barbiturates, bosentan, carbamazepine, cenobamate, dabrafenib, efavirenz, elagolix, encorafenib, enzalutamide, eslicarbazepine, etravirine, fosphenytoin, ivosidenib, lorlatinib, lumacaftor, mavacamten, mitapivat, mitotane, modafinil, nafcillin, oxcarbazepine, pacritinib, pexidartinib, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, repotrectinib, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(1,2) |

Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Evaluate patient for other drugs, diseases and conditions which may further increase risk for QT prolongation and correct risk factors (e.g. correct hypokalemia, discontinue other QT prolonging drugs) when possible.(2,3) It would be prudent to limit the escitalopram dose to 10 mg daily in patients with QT prolonging risk factors who also receive concurrent therapy with selected CYP2C19 inhibitors.(5) Weigh the specific benefits versus risks for each patient. If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Instruct patients to report muscle twitching, tremors, shivering and stiffness, fever, heavy sweating, heart palpitations, restlessness, confusion, agitation, trouble with coordination, or severe diarrhea. DISCUSSION: A thorough QT study evaluating escitalopram 10 mg or 30 mg once daily was conducted; a change of 10 msec for upper bound of the 95% confidence level is the threshold for regulatory concern. In this study, changes to the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval were 6.4 msec and 12.6 msec for the 10 mg and supratherapeutic 30 mg dose respectively. The Cmax for 30 mg was 1.7-fold higher than the Cmax for the maximum recommended escitalopram dose of 20 mg. Systemic exposure at the 30 mg dose was similar to expected steady state concentrations in 2C19 poor metabolizers following a 20 mg escitalopram dose.(1) In an interaction study, 30 mg of omeprazole, an irreversible inhibitor of CYP2C19 was administered daily for 6 days. On day 5 a single dose of escitalopram 20 mg was also administered; the area-under-curve (AUC) of escitalopram was increased by 50%. Manufacturer prescribing information recommends a maximum citalopram dose of 20mg daily in patients receiving CYP2C19 inhibitors.(1) Inhibitors of CYP2C19 include: abrocitinib, allicin (garlic derivative), armodafinil, asciminib, berotralstat, cannabidiol (CBD), cenobamate, cimetidine strengths > or = 200 mg, elagolix, enasidenib, eslicarbazepine, esomeprazole, etravirine, fedratinib, felbamate, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, givosiran, isoniazid, moclobemide, modafinil, obeticholic acid, omeprazole, piperine, rolapitant, stiripentol, tecovirimat, treosulfan, and vonoprazan.(4) |

| Siponimod/Selected Moderate and Strong CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Drugs that are moderate or strong inducers of CYP3A4 may increase the metabolism of siponimod.(1) Patients with a CYP2C9*1/*3 or *2/*3 genotype who are more dependent on CYP3A4 for the metabolism of siponimod would experience a greater effect of CYP3A4 induction. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a siponimod with a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducer in patients with a CYP2C9*1/*3 or *2/*3 genotype may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of siponimod.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients with a CYP2C9*1/*3 or *2/*3 genotype who are more dependent on CYP3A4 for the metabolism of siponimod would experience a greater effect of CYP3A4 induction. Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Monitor the combination of siponimod with a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducer in patients with a CYP2C9*1/*3 or *2/*3 genotype for loss of efficacy.(1) Agents that are both moderate CYP3A4 inducers and moderate CYP2C9 inducers (e.g., lorlatinib) should be used with caution regardless of the patient's CYP2C9 genotype.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study, efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer) decreased the area-under-curve (AUC) of siponimod by up to 52% across CYP2C9 genotypes. Drugs that are moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: apalutamide, barbiturates, belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, elagolix, etravirine, fosphenytoin, lesinurad, lorlatinib, lumacaftor, mavacamten, mitapivat, mitotane, modafinil, nafcillin, pexidartinib, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifabutin, rifapentine, St John's Wort, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, and tovorafenib.(2-3) |

| Cilostazol (Less Than or Equal To 50 mg BID)/Selected Strong & Moderate CYP2C19 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Strong and moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19 may inhibit the metabolism of cilostazol.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of strong or moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19 may result in elevated levels of 3,4-dehydro-cilostazol, a metabolite of cilostazol that is 4-7 times as active as cilostazol.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The dose of cilostazol should be limited to 50 mg twice daily in patients receiving concurrent therapy with strong and moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19.(1) The Australian manufacturer of esomeprazole states concomitant use with cilostazol is contraindicated.(5) DISCUSSION: In a study in 20 subjects examined the effects of omeprazole (40 mg daily) on a single dose of cilostazol (100 mg). Concurrent omeprazole increased the cilostazol maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by 18% and 26%, respectively. The Cmax and AUC of the 3,4-dehydro-cilostazol metabolite of cilostazol increased 29% and 69%, respectively. The Cmax and AUC of the OPC-13213 metabolite of cilostazol decreased by 22% and 31%, respectively.(4) |

| 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, eslicarbazepine, floxacillin, garlic, genistein, ginseng, glycyrrhizin, meropenem-vaborbactam, methylprednisolone, nevirapine, omaveloxolone, oritavancin, oxcarbazepine, pioglitazone, pitolisant, relugolix, repotrectinib, rufinamide, sarilumab, sulfinpyrazone, sunvozertinib, 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) |

| 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, 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, sunvozertinib, 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) |

| Phenobarbital; Primidone/Cenobamate SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Cenobamate may inhibit the CYP2C19-mediated metabolism of phenobarbital and primidone.(1) Primidone is metabolized to phenobarbital. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from phenobarbital or primidone.(1) Symptoms of barbiturate toxicity may include drowsiness, dizziness, ataxia, and respiratory depression.(2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US and Canadian manufacturers of cenobamate state a dose reduction of phenobarbital should be considered when used concomitantly due to an increased risk of adverse reactions. Patients maintained on phenobarbital should be carefully monitored if cenobamate is initiated or discontinued.(1,4) The UK manufacturer of cenobamate states that no dose adjustment of cenobamate is required. Concentrations of phenobarbital should be monitored during cenobamate titration, and based on individual response, the dose of phenobarbital may need to be reduced.(5-8) Monitor the patient for signs of barbiturate toxicity, such as drowsiness, dizziness, ataxia, and respiratory depression.(2) DISCUSSION: In a study, concomitant administration of cenobamate 200 mg daily and phenobarbital 90 mg daily did not cause clinically meaningful changes in cenobamate exposure but led to increased phenobarbital exposures (maximum concentration (Cmax) by 34% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 37%).(1,4,5) |

| 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) |

| 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. For patients taking efavirenz or etravirine, the US and European HIV guidelines recommend considering alternative therapies or performing additional monitoring.(9-10) 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%.(11) 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.(12) Strong CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: barbiturates, encorafenib, ivosidenib, lumacaftor, and mitotane.(13,14) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph 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.(13,14) |

| Emtricitabine-Rilpivirine-TAF/Select Moderate CYP3A4 Inducer SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of rilpivirine.(1-2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of rilpivirine, as well as the development of resistance.(1-2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US DHHS HIV guidelines state that concurrent use of bosentan or mavacamten (moderate CYP3A4 inducers) with oral rilpivirine should be monitored closely. Consider alternative therapies that do not affect CYP3A4 or alternative antiretroviral agents. If concurrent use is necessary, virologic response should be monitored.(3) The US manufacturer of oral rilpivirine states that concurrent use of rifabutin (moderate CYP3A4 inducer) warrants dose adjustment. When administering moderate CYP3A4 inducers with oral rilpivirine, increase the dose of rilpivirine to 50 mg once daily. When rifabutin co-administration is stopped, the rilpivirine dose should be decreased to 25 mg once daily. It may take several weeks after the discontinuation of an enzyme inducer for enzyme activity to return to normal.(2) DISCUSSION: In a study in 18 subjects, rifabutin (300 mg daily) decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax), area-under-curve (AUC), and minimum concentration (Cmin) of rilpivirine (25 mg orally daily) by 31%, 42%, and 48%, respectively.(1) A study in 18 subjects compared rilpivirine administered alone (25 mg orally daily) to coadministration with rifabutin (300 mg daily) and rilpivirine (50 mg orally daily). A significant difference was not found with the Cmax (1.43), AUC (1.16), or Cmin (0.93) of rilpivirine. (2) Selected moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: belzutifan, bosentan, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, elagolix, eslicarbazepine, lesinurad, mavacamten, mitapivat, modafinil, nafcillin, pacritinib, pexidartinib, repotrectinib, sotorasib, telotristat, thioridazine and tovorafenib.(3) |

| Paltusotine/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of paltusotine.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may alter the clinical effectiveness of paltusotine.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients taking moderate CYP3A4 inducers may require an increased dosage of paltusotine.(1) The manufacturer of paltusotine states do not exceed two-fold the paltusotine dosage prior to concomitant use or 120 mg daily, whichever is less.(1) Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for reduced efficacy. DISCUSSION: Paltusotine is metabolized by CYP3A4.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers such as efavirenz are predicted to decrease concentration maximum (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of paltusotine approximately 5% and 30%, respectively.(1) In an interaction study, paltusotine concentration maximum (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) decreased by 44% and 70%, respectively, following concomitant administration of carbamazepine (strong CYP3A inducer).(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, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Lenacapavir (PrEP)/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that induce the CYP3A4 isoenzyme may accelerate the metabolism of lenacapavir.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the levels and effectiveness of lenacapavir.(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 lenacapavir for PrEP states that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A inducers requires supplemental doses of lenacapavir. Moderate CYP3A inducers may be initiated anytime after the first dose of lenacapavir. Recommendations for supplemental doses of lenacapavir state: -On the day moderate CYP3A inducer is initiated: Supplement with 463.5 mg subcutaneously. -If the moderate CYP3A inducer is coadministered longer than 6 months: Every 6 months after CYP3A inducer is initiated, supplement lenacapavir as above. After a moderate CYP3A inducer is stopped, continue the scheduled continuation doses of lenacapavir every 6 months.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study, efavirenz 600 mg once daily (inducer of CYP3A4 [moderate] and P-glycoprotein) decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of lenacapavir by 36% and 56%, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph include: barbiturates, cenobamate, dabrafenib, dipyrone, efavirenz, elagolix, etravirine, lesinurad, lorlatinib, modafinil, nafcillin, nevirapine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, primidone, rifabutin, sotorasib, telotristat ethyl, thioridazine, and tovorafenib.(2,3) |

| Aficamten/Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Aficamten is a CYP3A4 substrate. Moderate CYP3A4 inducers may induce the metabolism of aficamten.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease the levels and effectiveness of aficamten and increase the risk of developing heart failure due to systolic dysfunction.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Induction effects may be more likely with regular use of the inducer for longer than 1-2 weeks. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: In patients who are on stable concurrent therapy with aficamten and a moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducer, reduce the dose of aficamten when discontinuing the inducer as follows: -If the current dose is 20 mg daily, reduce to 10 mg daily. -If the current dose is 15 mg daily, reduce to 5 mg daily. -If the current dose is 10 mg daily, reduce to 5 mg daily. -If the current dose is 5 mg daily, maintain 5 mg daily. Assess LVEF 2 to 8 weeks after discontinuation of such inducers and adjust the dose of aficamten accordingly.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study, carbamazepine (moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducer, weak CYP2C9 inducer) decreased aficamten's area-under-curve (AUC) 51%.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inducers linked to this monograph 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) |

There are no adequate data in humans to determine if there is any risk associated with the use of cenobamate during pregnancy. In animal studies, cenobamate produced developmental toxicity (i.e., increased embryofetal mortality, decreased fetal and offspring body weight, neurobehavioral and reproductive impairment in offspring) when given orally to pregnant rats and rabbits. These effects were observed at dosages associated with clinically relevant plasma exposures.
Women who are pregnant while receiving cenobamate should be encouraged to enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) Pregnancy Registry at 888-233-2334 or https://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/.

It is not known whether cenobamate is distributed into milk, affects milk production, or affects the breast-fed infant. Consider the benefits of breast-feeding along with the importance of cenobamate to the woman and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed infant from the drug or underlying maternal condition.
Clinical studies of cenobamate did not include sufficient numbers of geriatric patients to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients. The manufacturer states to consider the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function, and other concomitant medical conditions and drug therapy in this population.
