AVANAFIL, STENDRA |
| Naloxegol (Greater Than 12.5 mg)/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors 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: Inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of naloxegol.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 without a dosage adjustment of naloxegol may result in increased levels of naloxegol, which may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients taking methadone may be more likely to experience gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea as a result of opioid withdrawal.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The daily dose of naloxegol should be limited to 12.5 mg daily in patients taking moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4.(1) If concurrent use is deemed medically necessary, monitor patients for signs of opioid withdrawal such as sweating, chills, diarrhea, stomach pain, anxiety, irritability, yawning, restlessness, muscle/joint aches, increased lacrimation, running nose, and piloerection. Monitor patients taking methadone for abdominal pain and diarrhea as well.(1) DISCUSSION: Ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 5 days), a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4, increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of a single dose of naloxegol by 9.58-fold and 12.85-fold, respectively.(2) Diltiazem (240 mg XR daily), a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, increased the Cmax and AUC of a single dose of naloxegol by 2.85 and 3.41, respectively.(2) According to Physiologically-based-Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, erythromycin, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, at a dose of 250 mg QID is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 2.77-fold and 3.47-fold, respectively.(2) According to PBPK models, erythromycin at a dose of 400 mg QID is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 3.42-fold and 4.63-fold, respectively.(2) According to PBPK models, fluconazole, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, at a dose of 200 mg daily is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 2.4-fold and 2.81-fold, respectively.(2) According to PBPK models, verapamil moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, at a dose of 120 mg daily is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 1.97-fold and 2.21-fold, respectively.(2) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan and verapamil.(1,3,4) |
MOVANTIK |
| Lomitapide/Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors 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: Lomitapide is primarily metabolized via CYP3A4.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a strong or moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 may result in high to very high levels of and toxicity from lomitapide.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The interaction may be more severe in patients with hepatic impairment or with end-stage renal disease.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Given the magnitude of this interaction and the potential toxicity of lomitapide, moderate and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are contraindicated.(1) When possible use an alternative to the CYP3A4 inhibitor. If a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is required, discontinue lomitapide. Due to its long half-life, it will take 1 to 2 weeks for remaining lomitapide to be eliminated; thus lomitapide adverse effects could occur after discontinuation. The US manufacturer of itraconazole states that concurrent use with lomitapide is contraindicated during and two weeks after itraconazole treatment.(4) DISCUSSION: Concurrent administration with ketoconazole (a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4) increased lomitapide area-under-curve (AUC) by 27-fold.(1) Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: adagrasib, boceprevir, ceritinib, clarithromycin, cobicistat, idelalisib, indinavir, itraconazole, josamycin, ketoconazole, lonafarnib, lopinavir/ritonavir, mibefradil, nefazodone, nelfinavir, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, paritaprevir, posaconazole, ribociclib, saquinavir, telaprevir, telithromycin, tipranavir, tucatinib, and voriconazole.(1-3,5) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir/ritonavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole (also a CYP2C19 inhibitor), fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, lefamulin, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, sevabertinib, stiripentol, treosulfan, and verapamil.(1-3) |

| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Eplerenone/Selected Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of eplerenone.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may result in a 2-fold increase in eplerenone concentration and toxicity (e.g. hyperkalemia, hypotension).(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Severe renal disease increases the risk for hyperkalemia. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The starting dose of eplerenone for hypertension should be reduced to 25 mg in patients receiving moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. For inadequate blood pressure response, dosing may be increased to a maximum of 25 mg twice daily. Do not exceed 25 mg once daily in post-MI CHF patients receiving a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.(1) In all patients taking eplerenone who start taking a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, check serum potassium and creatinine levels after 3-7 days of concurrent therapy.(1) DISCUSSION: Ketoconazole (200 mg BID) increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of a single dose of eplerenone (100 mg) by 1.7-fold and 5.4-fold, respectively.(1) The concurrent use of eplerenone with less potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (erythromycin 500 mg BID, fluconazole 200 mg daily, saquinavir 1200 mg TID, and verapamil 240 mg daily) increased the Cmax of eplerenone by 1.4-fold to 1.6-fold and the AUC of eplerenone by 2.0-fold and 2.9-fold.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, diltiazem, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, treosulfan, and verapamil.(1-3) |
EPLERENONE, INSPRA |
| Ivabradine/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of ivabradine. Increased levels of ivabradine may cause ivabradine-induced reduction in heart rate which can contribute to increased QT prolongation risk.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate inhibitors may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from ivabradine including a reduction in heart rate which can contribute to QT prolongation or torsades de pointes.(1-3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk of QT prolongation or torsade de pointes may be increased in patients with cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart failure, myocardial infarction, history of torsade de pointes, congenital long QT syndrome), hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, bradycardia, female gender, or advanced age.(4) 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 torsade 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).(4) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of ivabradine states that concurrent use of moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4, including diltiazem and verapamil, should be avoided.(1) The Australian and UK manufacturers of ivabradine state that concurrent use of diltiazem or verapamil is contraindicated but that other moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may be considered with monitoring of heart rate and with a starting dose of 2.5 mg ivabradine twice daily if resting heart rate is above 70 bpm.(2-3) Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for bradycardia (heart rate less than 50 bpm), dizziness, fatigue, hypotension, and/or symptoms of atrial fibrillation (heart palpitations, chest pressure, shortness of breath). DISCUSSION: Concurrent use of potent CYP3A4 inhibitors ketoconazole (200 mg daily) and josamycin (1000 mg twice daily) increased mean ivabradine plasma exposure by 7- to 8-fold. Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors diltiazem and verapamil increased ivabradine area-under-curve (AUC) by 2- to 3-fold and reduced heart rate by an additional 5 bpm.(2) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, conivaptan, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and verapamil.(5) |
CORLANOR, IVABRADINE HCL |
| Tolvaptan/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of tolvaptan.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from tolvaptan.(1) Elevated levels of tolvaptan may lead to increased clinical effects such as hypotension, hypovolemia, and thirst, as well as toxicity in the form of neurologic sequelae such as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). ODS can lead to coma and death. Symptoms of ODS include dysarthria, mutism, dysphagia, lethargy, affective changes, spastic quadriparesis, seizures, and coma.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of Samsca for the treatment of clinically significant hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia states that concurrent administration with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.(1) The US manufacturer of Jynarque for the management to slow kidney function decline in adults at risk of rapidly progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease states concurrent administration with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors warrants a dose reduction of Jynarque as follows: - Standard morning and evening dose: 90 mg and 30 mg should be dose adjusted to 45 mg and 15 mg, respectively - Standard morning and evening dose: 60 mg and 30 mg should be dose adjusted to 30 mg and 15 mg, respectively - Standard morning and evening dose: 45 mg and 15 mg should be dose adjusted to 15 mg and 15 mg, respectively Interrupt Jynarque temporarily for short term therapy with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors if the recommended reduced doses are not available.(2) DISCUSSION: Fluconazole 400 mg (moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4) given one day prior and 200 mg given concomitantly produced an 80% and 200% increase in tolvaptan maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC), respectively.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, treosulfan, and verapamil.(1-4) |

| Bosutinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that inhibit CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of bosutinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase levels of and effects from bosutinib.(1) Elevated levels of bosutinib may result in QTc prolongation, which may result in potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes (TdP). Other toxicities include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, myelosuppression, transaminitis, renal toxicity, and cardiac failure.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid the use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients undergoing therapy with bosutinib.(1) DISCUSSION: In a study in 24 healthy subjects, ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 5 days) increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of bosutinib (100 mg) by 5.2-fold and 8.6-fold, respectively.(1) In a cross-over study in 18 healthy subjects, aprepitant (125 mg) increased the Cmax and AUC of bosutinib (single dose 500 mg) by 1.5-fold and 2.0-fold, respectively.(1) A study using PKPB modeling found concurrent use of bosutinib and schisandra would result in an increase in bosutinib exposure with an increased AUC by 3.0-fold.(2) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, boceprevir, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, ledipasvir, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, sevabertinib, stiripentol, treosulfan, and verapamil.(3-4) |

| Ergot Alkaloids/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of ergot alkaloids. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in increased levels of the ergot alkaloid, which may result in clinical signs of ergotism, including vasospasm, dysesthesia, renal ischemia, and peripheral ischemia. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients receiving the maximum recommended (or higher than recommended) dosages of ergot alkaloids may be at a higher risk of adverse effects from this combination. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: When possible, avoid the concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients taking ergot alkaloids. If concurrent use is warranted, consider reducing the dose of the ergot alkaloid during concurrent therapy. Patients receiving concurrent therapy should be monitored for and instructed to report any signs of ergotism. DISCUSSION: Coadministration of dihydroergotamine and ergotamine with potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and troleandomycin has resulted in ergotism, characterized by vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities. Inhibition of ergot alkaloid metabolism by moderate inhibitors would also be expected, but to a lesser degree. Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph are aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, sevabertinib, tofisopam, treosulfan and verapamil. |

| Naloxegol (Less Than or Equal To 12.5 mg)/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of naloxegol.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 without a dosage adjustment of naloxegol may result in increased levels of naloxegol, which may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients taking methadone may be more likely to experience gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea as a result of opioid withdrawal.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid the use of moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 in patients who require therapy with naloxegol. If concurrent use cannot be avoided, the daily dose of naloxegol should be limited to 12.5 mg daily in patients taking moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4.(1) Monitor patients for signs of opioid withdrawal such as sweating, chills, diarrhea, stomach pain, anxiety, irritability, yawning, restlessness, muscle/joint aches, increased lacrimation, running nose, and piloerection. Monitor patients taking methadone for abdominal pain and diarrhea as well.(1) DISCUSSION: Ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 5 days), a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4, increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of a single dose of naloxegol by 9.58-fold and 12.85-fold, respectively.(2) Diltiazem (240 mg XR daily), a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, increased the Cmax and AUC of a single dose of naloxegol by 2.85 and 3.41, respectively.(2) According to Physiologically-based-Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, erythromycin, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, at a dose of 250 mg QID is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 2.77-fold and 3.47-fold, respectively.(2) According to PBPK models, erythromycin at a dose of 400 mg QID is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 3.42-fold and 4.63-fold, respectively.(2) According to PBPK models, fluconazole, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, at a dose of 200 mg daily is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 2.4-fold and 2.81-fold, respectively.(2) According to PBPK models, verapamil moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, at a dose of 120 mg daily is expected to increase the Cmax and AUC of naloxegol by 1.97-fold and 2.21-fold, respectively.(2) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan and verapamil.(1,3,4) |

| Venetoclax/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors inhibit the metabolism of venetoclax.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may result in elevated levels of venetoclax, increasing the risk for tumor lysis syndrome and other toxicities.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Risk factors for tumor lysis syndrome include (1): - the ramp-up phase of venetoclax therapy when tumor burden is highest - initial magnitude of tumor burden - renal impairment The risk of venetoclax toxicities may be increased in patients with severe hepatic impairment.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors and consider alternative treatments when possible. If a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor must be used, reduce venetoclax dose by at least 50%. Monitor more closely for signs of toxicity such as tumor lysis syndrome, hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities.(1) Canadian labeling for atazanavir contraindicates concurrent use of atazanavir/ritonavir with venetoclax at venetoclax dose initiation and during the ramp-up phase.(2) If the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor is discontinued, the manufacturer of venetoclax recommends resuming the prior (i.e. pre-inhibitor) dose of venetoclax 2 to 3 days after discontinuation of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. DISCUSSION: In 11 previously treated NHL subjects, ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor which also inhibits P-gp and BCRP) 400 mg daily for 7 days increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of venetoclax 2.3-fold and 6.4-fold respectively.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, sevabertinib, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and verapamil.(3-4) |

| Entrectinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of entrectinib.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 may result in elevated levels and increased effects of entrectinib, such as QT prolongation, hepatotoxicity, CNS effects, hyperuricemia, anemia, or neutropenia.(1,2) Symptoms of hepatotoxicity can include nausea, vomiting, jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, and unexplained fatigue. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk of QT prolongation or torsade de pointes may be increased in patients with cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart failure, myocardial infarction, history of torsade 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 torsade 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).(4) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of entrectinib states that entrectinib coadministration with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 should be avoided.(1) If concurrent therapy cannot be avoided, reduce the entrectinib dose as follows for adult and pediatric patients 2 years and older: -If the starting dose is 600 mg, reduce the entrectinib dose to 200 mg daily. -If the starting dose is 400 mg, reduce the entrectinib dose to 200 mg daily. -If the starting dose is 300 mg, reduce the entrectinib dose to 100 mg daily. -If the starting dose is 200 mg, reduce the entrectinib dose to 50 mg daily.(1) For pediatric patients less than 2 years old, avoid coadministration with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) If concomitant use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor is discontinued, increase the entrectinib dose to the dose that was used before starting the inhibitor after three to five plasma half-lives of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Monitor liver tests, including AST and ALT. Advise patients to immediately report any symptoms of hepatotoxicity. During concomitant therapy with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, monitor patients closely for prolongation of the QT interval. Obtain serum calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels and monitor ECG at regular intervals. Correct any electrolyte abnormalities. Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. DISCUSSION: Coadministration of itraconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) with a single 100 mg entrectinib dose increased entrectinib maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-the-curve (AUC) by 1.7-fold and 6-fold.(1) Coadministration of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor with entrectinib is predicted to increase entrectinib Cmax and AUC by 2.9-fold and 3-fold.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, ciprofloxacin, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan and verapamil.(1,3) |

MECHANISM OF ACTION: The aqueous solubility of nirogacestat is pH dependent. Higher gastric pH leads to lower solubility which may reduce nirogacestat absorption.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Coadministration of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 antagonists may reduce the bioavailability of nirogacestat, leading to decreased systemic levels and effectiveness.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of nirogacestat with proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, and antacids should be avoided. If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent is unavoidable, take nirogacestat 2 hours before or 2 hours after a locally acting antacid.(1) DISCUSSION: The solubility of nirogacestat is poor at a pH >= 6.(1) Concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, or antacids are expected to reduce concentrations of nirogacestat.(1) |

| Mitapivat/Nirogacestat SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of mitapivat.(1-2) Nirogacestat is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 may accelerate the metabolism of nirogacestat.(3) Mitapivat is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 may result in increased levels of and effects from mitapivat including decreased estrone and estradiol levels in males, increased urate, back pain, and arthralgias.(1-2) Concurrent or recent use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers may alter the clinical effectiveness of nirogacestat.(3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of nirogacestat states that concurrent use with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided.(3) When mitapivat is used for the treatment of hemolytic anemia in patients with pyruvate kinase deficiency, the US manufacturer of mitapivat states that mitapivat dose should not exceed 20 mg twice daily with concurrent moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) When mitapivat is used for the treatment of anemia in patients with alpha- or beta-thalassemia, the US manufacturer of mitapivat states that concurrent moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.(2) The Middle Eastern manufacturer of mitapivat states that alternative agents that do not inhibit CYP3A4 should be considered. If concomitant use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor is unavoidable, the dose of mitapivat should not exceed 100 mg once daily.(4) DISCUSSION: Mitapivat is a CYP3A4 substrate. In a pharmacokinetic study with mitapivat 5, 20, or 50 mg twice daily dosing, fluconazole increased mitapivat area-under-curve (AUC) and concentration maximum (Cmax) by 2.6-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively.(1) In a PKPB model, coadministration of rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, following multiple doses of nirogacestat (150 mg BID) is predicted to decrease the AUC of nirogacestat by 85%.(3) In a PKPB model, coadministration of efavirenz, a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, following multiple doses of nirogacestat (150 mg BID) is predicted to decrease the AUC of nirogacestat by 67%.(3) |

| Selected Sensitive CYP3A4 Substrates/Nirogacestat SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Nirogacestat is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 and may decrease the metabolism of drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of nirogacestat may lead to increased serum levels and adverse effects of drugs sensitive to inhibition of the CYP3A4 pathway.(1-3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid concomitant nirogacestat use with CYP3A4 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.(1) Concurrent use of nirogacestat with alfentanil should be avoided. If concurrent use is warranted, limit the dosages and duration of alfentanil to the minimum possible while achieving the desired clinical effect. If starting a CYP3A4 inhibitor with an opioid, consider a dosage reduction of the opioid. If an opioid is indicated in a patient already taking a CYP3A4 inhibitor, prescribe a lower dose of the opioid and titrate based upon clinical response.(2) Concurrent use of nirogacestat with cobimetinib should be avoided. For patients taking cobimetinib 60 mg daily, if concurrent short-term use (14 days or less) of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce cobimetinib dose to 20 mg daily. After discontinuation of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, resume the previous 60 mg dose. Patients who are taking cobimetinib 40 mg or 20 mg daily should not receive a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.(3) DISCUSSION: Midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate) maximum concentration (Cmax) is predicted to increase by 1.77-fold and area-under-curve (AUC) by 2.07-fold following concomitant use with multiple doses of nirogacestat (150 mg twice daily).(1) CYP3A4 sensitive substrates linked to this monograph include: alfentanil, cobimetinib, fentanyl, lovastatin, and simvastatin.(4,5) |

| Cariprazine/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors 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.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from cariprazine.(1-4) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: When possible, avoid the use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with cariprazine. The US manufacturer of cariprazine states that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors requires a dose adjustment. If a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor is initiated in a patient on a stable dose of cariprazine, the following dose adjustments are recommended: -If current cariprazine dose is 1.5 or 3 mg daily: Decrease cariprazine dose to 0.75 mg daily. -If current cariprazine dose is 4.5 or 6 mg daily: Decrease cariprazine dose to 1.5 mg daily. In adult patients taking a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor when cariprazine is started, the following dose adjustments are recommended: -For schizophrenia or bipolar mania: Start cariprazine dose at 0.75 mg daily; increase to 1.5 mg daily, if needed. -For bipolar depression or adjunctive therapy for treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Start cariprazine dose at 0.75 mg daily.(1) -Initiating cariprazine is not recommended in pediatric patients while taking a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.(1) Cariprazine has two active metabolites, DCAR and DDCAR which have similar in vitro activity and potency. However, DDCAR has a longer half-life (1-3 weeks) than cariprazine (2-4 days), resulting in systemic DDCAR concentrations that are about 4-fold higher than cariprazine. Thus although interaction onset may begin within a few days, the full effect of inhibition may not be seen for 4 or more weeks. When the inhibitor is discontinued, cariprazine, DCAR and DDCAR will begin to fall and the dosage may need be increased. Monitor for decreased effectiveness for 4 or more weeks. The Australian, and Canadian manufacturers of cariprazine state that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated.(2,3) The UK manufacturer of cariprazine states that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may require a dose adjustment.(4) The Canadian manufacturer of cariprazine states that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors is also contraindicated for at least 2 weeks after cariprazine discontinuation.(3) DISCUSSION: In an interaction study, coadministration of ketoconazole 400 mg/day with cariprazine 0.5 mg/day increased cariprazine exposure (AUC, area-under-curve) 4-fold and increased DDCAR AUC about 1.5-fold.(1) In a PKPB model, coadministration of ketoconazole 400 mg/day with cariprazine 0.5 mg/day is predicted to increase cariprazine concentration maximum (Cmax) and AUC by 5.5-fold and 6-fold, respectively. Coadministration of fluconazole 200 mg/day with cariprazine 0.5 mg/day is predicted to increased cariprazine Cmax and AUC by up to 3-fold.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(5,6) |

| Ensartinib/Selected Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Ensartinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Ensartinib metabolism may be inhibited by moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from ensartinib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of ensartinib states that concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.(1) DISCUSSION: Ensartinib is predominately metabolized by CYP3A4.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, crizotinib, darunavir, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluconazole, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and voxelotor.(2,3) |

| Avutometinib-Defactinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Avutometinib and defactinib are both CYP3A4 substrates. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of defactinib. Avutometinib also undergoes non-enzymatic degradation is not affected by CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of defactinib and toxicity from avutometinib-defactinib, including hepatotoxicity, rhabdomyolysis, ocular toxicities, and skin toxicities.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Concurrent use of avutometinib-defactinib and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.(1) DISCUSSION: The impact of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of defactinib has not been investigated in clinical studies. Defactinib maximum concentration (Cmax) increased by 2.2-fold and area-under-curve (AUC) by 3.9-fold following concomitant use with itraconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) 200 mg daily for 10 days. The AUC of M4, a major active metabolite of defactinib, increased by 2.2-fold and Cmax decreased by 6.8%.(1) No clinically significant differences in avutometinib pharmacokinetics were observed when used concomitantly with itraconazole.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(2-3) |

| Taletrectinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Taletrectinib is a substrate of CYP3A4. Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of taletrectinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may result in increased levels and toxicity from taletrectinib including hepatotoxicity, myalgia, and prolongation of the QT interval, which may result in life-threatening arrhythmia and death.(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) Taletrectinib should be taken on an empty stomach. Administration with food may increase the risk of QT prolongation or torsade de pointes. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of taletrectinib recommends avoiding concurrent administration with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) If concurrent therapy cannot be avoided, adjust the frequency of monitoring as recommended in the prescribing information. Withhold taletrectinib if the QTc interval is >500 msec or the change from baseline is >60 msec.(1) 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. DISCUSSION: Concomitant administration with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 (fluconazole, erythromycin, or verapamil) is predicted to increase taletrectinib area under the curve (AUC) up to 2.6-fold and maximum concentration (Cmax) up to 1.5-fold.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(3) |

| Dordaviprone/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of dordaviprone.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the levels and effects of dordaviprone, including QTc prolongation, which may result in potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like torsades de pointes (TdP).(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: This interaction may be more severe in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.(1) 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) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of dordaviprone states that concomitant use with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided.(1). If concomitant use with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided in adult and pediatric patients who weigh at least 52.5 kg, reduce the dordaviprone dosage from 625 mg to 500 mg once weekly. Recommended doses for patients weighing less than 52.5 kg receiving moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors has not been established.(1) 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. DISCUSSION: In a study, concomitant use of dordaviprone with itraconazole 200 mg daily for 8 days (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) increased dordaviprone maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by 2-fold and 4-fold, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (fluconazole or erythromycin) are predicted to increase dordaviprone Cmax and AUC by 1.5-fold and 2.5-fold.(1) Dordaviprone causes concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation. In a QT study, the estimated change in QTcF was 11.8 msec (90% CI: 9.8, 13.7) with dordaviprone at 1.2 times the maximum recommended dose.(1) In a pooled safety analysis, out of 82 patients with a post-baseline ECG, 6% of patients had an increase in QTc of >60 msec from baseline and 1.2% had an increase in QTc >500 msec.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(3,4) |

| Avanafil (Less Than or Equal To 50 mg)/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of avanafil.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of avanafil, which may result in increased adverse effects such as hypotension, visual changes, and priapism. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of avanafil states that in patients receiving moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4, the dose of avanafil should be limited to 50 mg in 24 hours.(1) DISCUSSION: Ketoconazole (400 mg daily), a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4, increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of a single dose of avanafil (50 mg) by 3-fold and 13-fold, respectively. The half-life of avanafil increased from 5 hours to 9 hours.(1) Ritonavir (600 mg BID), a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 and an inhibitor of 2C19, increased the Cmax and AUC of a single dose of avanafil (50 mg) by 2-fold and 13-fold, respectively. The half-life of avanafil increased from 5 hours to 9 hours.(1) Erythromycin (500 mg BID), a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, increased the Cmax and AUC of a single dose of avanafil (200 mg) by 2-fold and 3-fold, respectively.

| Quetiapine/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of quetiapine. Quetiapine is a sensitive substrate for CYP3A4 and so an approximately 2-fold or higher increase in exposure (AUC, area-under-curve) is possible when quetiapine is given with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from quetiapine, including potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes.(2,3) 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.(4) 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).(4) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Monitor patients when moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 are co-prescribed with quetiapine as the magnitude of the interaction is highly variable between patients.(6) Use of higher doses of either the CYP3A4 inhibitor or quetiapine are other factors which may affect the magnitude of this interaction. Decrease the quetiapine dose if needed. 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, fainting, excessive drowsiness, rapid pulse/hypotension, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, or muscle stiffness/tremors (EPS). DISCUSSION: In a study in 19 Chinese patients with schizophrenia, patients received quetiapine (200 mg twice daily) alone and with erythromycin (500 mg 3 times daily, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4). Erythromycin increased the quetiapine maximum concentration (Cmax)by 68%(range approximately 20-130%), area-under-curve (AUC) 129% (range approximately 20-300%), and half-life by 92% (range approximately 0-250%). Quetiapine clearance decreased 52% (range approximately -15 to -80%).(6) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, conivaptan, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and verapamil.(4) |

| Acalabrutinib/Selected Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that inhibit the CYP3A4 isoenzyme may inhibit the metabolism of acalabrutinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase levels of and effects from acalabrutinib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Recommendations for management of this interaction vary in different regions. The US and Australian manufacturers of acalabrutinib state that the concurrent chronic use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be approached with caution. If a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor is required, reduce the dose of acalabrutinib to 100 mg once daily.(1,2) The UK manufacturer of acalabrutinib states no dose adjustment is needed for concurrent use of acalabrutinib with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored closely for adverse effects.(3) DISCUSSION: In a study with healthy volunteers, single-dose fluconazole 400 mg and isavuconazole 200 mg daily for 5 days (both moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors) increased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of acalabrutinib by 1.4- to 2-fold. The Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite ACP-5862 was decreased by 0.65- to 0.88-fold.(2) A physiologically based pharmacokinetic simulation with acalabrutinib and moderate CYP3A inhibitors (erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem) predicted that coadministration increases acalabrutinib Cmax and AUC by 2- to almost 3-fold.(1) In a study in healthy subjects, itraconazole (200mg once daily for 5 days, a strong inhibitor) increased the Cmax and AUC of acalabrutinib by 3.9-fold and 5.1-fold, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, grapefruit juice, imatinib, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and verapamil.(4,5) |

| Abemaciclib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Abemaciclib is a substrate of CYP3A4. Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of abemaciclib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 may result in increased levels and toxicity from abemaciclib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of abemaciclib recommends monitoring for adverse reactions and consider a dose reduction of abemaciclib dose in 50 mg decrements as detailed in prescribing information (based on starting dose, previous dose reductions, and combination or monotherapy use) with concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(1) Monitor patient for signs and symptoms of abemaciclib toxicity with concurrent use. DISCUSSION: Abemaciclib is a substrate of CYP3A4.(1) Concurrent administration of verapamil and diltiazem (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors) are predicted to increase the relative adjusted unbound area-under-curve (AUC) of abemaciclib and its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by approximately 1.6-fold and 2.4-fold, respectively.(1) Concurrent administration of ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) is predicted to increase the AUC of abemaciclib up to 16-fold.(1) Concurrent administration of itraconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) is predicted to increase the relative potency adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib and its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by 2.2-fold.(1) Concurrent administration of clarithromycin (500 mg twice daily, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) with a single dose of 50 mg of abemaciclib increased the relative potency adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib and its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by 2.5-fold.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and verapamil.(2,3) |

| Zanubrutinib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of zanubrutinib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from zanubrutinib.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) have elevated zanubrutinib plasma concentrations and may be more susceptible to the effects of this interaction.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The dosage of zanubrutinib should be reduced to 80 mg twice daily when co-administered with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Modify the dose as recommended by prescribing information for adverse reactions.(1) DISCUSSION: Co-administration with itraconazole 200 mg once daily, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, increased zanubrutinib concentration maximum (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by 157% and 278%, respectively. It is predicted co-administration with fluconazole 200 mg daily, a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, would increase zanubrutinib Cmax and AUC by 179% and 177%, respectively.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and verapamil.(2-4) |

| Tacrolimus/Moderate and Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate and weak inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of tacrolimus.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from tacrolimus, including nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and prolongation of the QTc interval and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk of QT prolongation or torsade de pointes may be increased in patients with cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart failure, myocardial infarction, history of torsade 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 torsade 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, and/or renal/hepatic dysfunction).(2) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of tacrolimus recommends monitoring tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations and reducing tacrolimus dose if needed.(1) 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. DISCUSSION: In a study of 26 renal transplant recipients, conjugated estrogens 3.75 mg daily increased the tacrolimus dose-corrected concentration of tacrolimus by 85.6%. Discontinuation of the conjugated estrogens led to a decrease in tacrolimus concentration of 46.6%.(3) A case report describes a 65-year-old kidney transplant recipient who was stable on tacrolimus 9 mg per day with trough levels of 5 to 7.5 ng/mL. Ten days after starting on estradiol gel 0.5 mg per day, her tacrolimus level rose to 18.3 ng/mL and serum creatinine (Scr) rose from 1.1 mg/dL at baseline to 2 mg/dL. Tacrolimus dose was reduced by 60%, and trough levels and Scr normalized after two weeks.(4) A study of 16 healthy volunteers found that elbasvir 50 mg/grazoprevir 200 mg daily increased the area-under-curve (AUC) of tacrolimus by 43%, while the maximum concentration (Cmax) of tacrolimus was decreased by 40%.(5) An analysis of FAERS data from 2004-2017, found a significant association between transplant rejection and concurrent use of tacrolimus and clotrimazole (reporting odds ratio 1.92, 95% CI). A retrospective study of 7 heart transplant patients on concurrent tacrolimus and clotrimazole troche showed a significant correlation between tacrolimus trough concentration and AUC after clotrimazole discontinuation. Tacrolimus clearance and bioavailability after clotrimazole discontinuation was 2.2-fold greater (0.27 vs. 0.59 L/h/kg) and the trough concentration decreased from 6.5 ng/mL at 1 day to 5.3 ng/mL at 2 days after clotrimazole discontinuation.(7) A retrospective study of 26 heart transplant patients found that discontinuation of concurrent clotrimazole with tacrolimus in the CYP3A5 expresser group had a 3.3-fold increase in apparent oral clearance and AUC of tacrolimus (0.27 vs. 0.89 L/h/kg) compared to the CYP3A5 non expresser group with a 2.2-fold mean increase (0.18 vs. 0.39 L/h/kg).(8) A study of 6 adult kidney transplant recipients found that clotrimazole (5-day course) increased the tacrolimus AUC 250% and the blood trough concentrations doubled (27.7 ng/ml versus 27.4 ng/ml). Tacrolimus clearance decreased 60% with coadministration of clotrimazole.(9) A case report describes a 23-year-old kidney transplant recipient who was stable on tacrolimus 5 mg twice daily, mycophenolate mofetil 30 mg daily, prednisone (30 mg daily tapered over time to 5 mg), and clotrimazole troche 10 mg four times daily. Discontinuation of clotrimazole resulted in a decrease in tacrolimus trough levels from 13.7 ng/ml to 5.4 ng/ml over a period of 6 days. Clotrimazole was restarted with tacrolimus 6 mg resulting in an increased tacrolimus level of 19.2 ng/ml.(10) A retrospective study in 95 heart transplant recipients on concurrent clotrimazole and tacrolimus found a median tacrolimus dose increase of 66.7% was required after clotrimazole discontinuation. Tacrolimus trough concentration was found to have decreased 42.5% after clotrimazole discontinuation.(11) A retrospective study in 65 pancreas transplant patients on concurrent tacrolimus, clotrimazole, cyclosporine, and prednisone found that clotrimazole discontinuation at 3 months after transplantation may cause significant tacrolimus trough level reductions.(12) A case report describes a 6-year-old kidney transplant recipient who was on a regimen of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. The patient was started letermovir 240 mg via G-tube 2 months post kidney transplant. One week after starting letermovir, the routine tacrolimus level showed a supratherapeutic concentration of 22.9 ng/L. A 36% dose reduction of tacrolimus was required. Upon discontinuation of letermovir, the tacrolimus level decreased by 42%.(13) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: aprepitant, berotralstat, conivaptan, fluvoxamine, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, sevabertinib, stiripentol, and tofisopam.(6) Weak CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: alprazolam, avacopan, baikal skullcap, berberine, bicalutamide, blueberry, brodalumab, chlorzoxazone, cimetidine, cranberry juice, daclatasvir, daridorexant, delavirdine, diosmin, elinzanetant, estrogens, flibanserin, fosaprepitant, fostamatinib, ginkgo biloba, givinostat, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, goldenseal, grazoprevir, isoniazid, istradefylline, ivacaftor, lacidipine, lazertinib, linagliptin, lomitapide, lumateperone, lurasidone, peppermint oil, piperine, propiverine, ranitidine, resveratrol, rimegepant, simeprevir, sitaxsentan, skullcap, suvorexant, ticagrelor, tolvaptan, trofinetide, viloxazine, and vonoprazan-amoxicillin.(6) |

| Lonafarnib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of lonafarnib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with lonafarnib may increase the risk of adverse reactions including QT prolongation and potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like torsades de pointes, nausea and vomiting, increased liver enzymes, myelosuppression, and hypertension.(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) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The use of lonafarnib with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be approached with caution. No dose adjustment of lonafarnib is recommended when moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors are added to steady-state lonafarnib. When initiating lonafarnib therapy in a patient already taking a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, monitor the patient closely for the first 7 days of therapy. If the patient does not tolerate lonafarnib, consider an alternative that is not a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor.(1) Lonafarnib dose modification recommendation: if the QTc interval is greater than or equal to 500 msec, withhold lonafarnib until the QTc interval is less than 470 msec, then resume lonafarnib at the same dosage.(1) 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.(1) Instruct patients to report any irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting. DISCUSSION: With coadministration of a single oral dose of 50 mg lonafarnib following 200 mg ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) once daily for 5 days, the area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) were increased by 425% and 270%, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, berotralstat, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(2,3) |

MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of vanzacaftor-tezacaftor-deutivacaftor. Vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor are CYP3A substrates.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from vanzacaftor-tezacaftor-deutivacaftor, such as hepatotoxicity.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: This interaction may be more severe in patients with hepatic impairment.(1) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of vanzacaftor-tezacaftor-deutivacaftor states that concurrent use with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors requires a dose adjustment. If concurrent use is warranted, the following dose adjustments are recommended: -For age 6 to less than 12 years old AND less than 40 kg - Two tablets of vanzacaftor 4 mg/tezacaftor 20 mg/deutivacaftor 50 mg every other day; -For age 6 to less than 12 years old AND greater than or equal to 40 kg - One tablet of vanzacaftor 10 mg/tezacaftor 50 mg/deutivacaftor 125 mg every other day; -For age 12 years and older AND any weight - One tablet of vanzacaftor 10 mg/tezacaftor 50 mg/deutivacaftor 125 mg every other day.(1) DISCUSSION: Concurrent administration with itraconazole (200 mg every 12 hours on Day 1, followed by 200 mg daily, a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4) with tezacaftor (25 mg daily)-ivacaftor (50 mg daily) increased tezacaftor area-under-curve (AUC) and concentration maximum (Cmax) by 4-fold and 2.83-fold, respectively.(1) Concurrent administration with itraconazole (200 mg daily, a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4) with single-dose elexacaftor 20 mg-tezacaftor 50 mg-deutivacaftor 50 mg increased tezacaftor AUC and Cmax by 4.51-fold and 1.48-fold and deutivacaftor AUC and Cmax by 11.1-fold and 1.96-fold.(1) Concurrent administration with itraconazole (200 mg daily, a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4) with vanzacaftor (5 mg single dose) increased vanzacaftor AUC and Cmax by 6.37-fold and 1.55-fold, respectively.(1) Concurrent administration with fluconazole (200 mg daily, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4) with vanzacaftor (20 mg daily)-tezacaftor (100 mg daily)-deutivacaftor (250 mg daily) is predicted to increase vanzacaftor AUC and Cmax by 2.55-fold and 2.48-fold and deutivacaftor by 3.13-fold and 2.27-fold, respectively.(1) Concurrent administration with erythromycin (500 mg four times daily, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4) with vanzacaftor (20 mg daily)-tezacaftor (100 mg daily)-deutivacaftor (250 mg daily) is predicted to increase vanzacaftor AUC and Cmax by 3.29-fold and 3.19-fold and deutivacaftor by 4.13-fold and 2.89-fold, respectively.(1) Concurrent administration with verapamil (80 mg three times daily, a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4) with vanzacaftor (20 mg daily)-tezacaftor (100 mg daily)-deutivacaftor (250 mg daily) is predicted to increase vanzacaftor AUC and Cmax by 3.93-fold and 3.8-fold and deutivacaftor by 5.11-fold and 3.43-fold, respectively.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(2-4) |

| Apixaban/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Apixaban is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). It is about 20% metabolized, mainly by CYP3A4.(1-4) Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of apixaban by CYP3A4. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and clinical effects of apixaban, including an increased risk of bleeding, especially in the setting of concurrent therapy with an agent that inhibits P-gp.(1-4) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug-associated risk factors include concurrent use of P-gp inhibitors and concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of apixaban provides recommendations regarding concurrent use with strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp, but does not provide guidance for concurrent use with agents that inhibit CYP3A4 alone.(1) The Australian, Canadian, and UK labels for apixaban state that no dose adjustment for apixaban is required when co-administered with agents that are not strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp.(2-4) Expert opinion on the clinical significance of this interaction is varied and depends on the inhibitor. Some experts state that specific agents (i.e., voriconazole, imatinib, and crizotinib) should be contraindicated.(5) Others state that concurrent use is acceptable if there are no other pharmacokinetic interactions; otherwise, a 50% dose reduction of apixaban is suggested.(6) In patients who are also on concurrent P-gp inhibitors, consider the manufacturer recommendations for use with dual CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors. The US manufacturer of apixaban states that if concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors cannot be avoided, the dosage of apixaban should be reduced by 50%. In patients already receiving apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily, avoid the concurrent use of strong inhibitors of both P-gp and CYP3A4.(1) The Australian(2) and Canadian(3) manufacturers of apixaban states that the concurrent use of agents that are strong inhibitors of both P-gp and CYP3A4 with apixaban is contraindicated. The UK manufacturer of apixaban states that concurrent use of these agents is not recommended.(4) Concurrent use of agents that are dual P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors are expected to increase apixaban levels to a lesser extent than agents that are P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. No dose adjustment of apixaban is necessary. Use caution when administering apixaban with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4. If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory test (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: 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%.(7) In a microdose cocktail study using apixaban 25 mcg, voriconazole 400 mg every 12 hours for 2 doses then 200 mg every 12 hours (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) had "only a minor interaction," increasing the AUC of apixaban by 1.33-fold (95% CI 1.01-1.75) while the Cmax and half-life remained unchanged.(8) Another microdose cocktail study with apixaban 25 mcg and voriconazole 400 mg twice daily found that apixaban AUC increased by 1.24-fold with a non-significant change in Cmax.(9) A retrospective cohort study of 50 oncology patients on apixaban identified 14 patients on concurrent voriconazole, with 3 of those patients receiving reduced-dose apixaban. No bleeding or thrombosis occurred in any of the patients on concurrent voriconazole.(10) 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.(11) A review article on DOAC drug-drug interactions suggests that the combination of voriconazole, crizotinib or imatinib with apixaban or rivaroxaban is contraindicated due to the potential for significant increases in DOAC AUC. The authors state that data with voriconazole is missing and thus the interactions are unpredictable.(5) Another review article states that apixaban may be used with voriconazole if no other pharmacokinetic inhibitor is present; otherwise, concurrent use requires a 50% apixaban dose reduction. No dose adjustment is recommended with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(6) Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: boceprevir, ceritinib, idelalisib, mibefradil, nefazodone, ribociclib, troleandomycin, and voriconazole.(12,13) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, crizotinib, duvelisib, fedratinib, fosnetupitant, imatinib, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and voxelotor.(12,13) |

| Rivaroxaban/Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Rivaroxaban is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). It is about 18% metabolized, mainly by CYP3A4.(1-4) Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of rivaroxaban by CYP3A4. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and clinical effects of rivaroxaban, including an increased risk of bleeding, especially in the setting of concurrent therapy with an agent that inhibits P-gp.(1-4) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Patients with renal impairment may be at higher risk of elevated rivaroxaban levels. Drug-associated risk factors include concurrent use of P-gp inhibitors and concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of rivaroxaban provides recommendations regarding concurrent use with strong and moderate inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp, but does not provide guidance for concurrent use with agents that inhibit CYP3A4 alone.(1) The Canadian manufacturer of rivaroxaban states that increases in rivaroxaban levels by drugs inhibiting only CYP3A4 are expected to be less clinically relevant compared to drugs inhibiting both CYP3A4 and P-gp.(2) The UK manufacturer of rivaroxaban states that drug interactions with agents that inhibit only CYP3A4 are likely not clinically relevant in most patients but may be significant in high-risk patients (e.g., renal impairment).(3) The Australian manufacturer of rivaroxaban states that drug interactions with drugs that inhibit only CYP3A4 are not clinically relevant.(4) Expert opinion on the clinical significance of this interaction is varied and depends on the inhibitor. Some experts state that specific agents (i.e., voriconazole, imatinib, and crizotinib) should be contraindicated.(5) Others state that concurrent use is acceptable if there are no other pharmacokinetic interactions; otherwise, the combination should be avoided.(6) In patients who are also on concurrent P-gp inhibitors, consider the manufacturer recommendations for use with dual CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors. The Australian and Canadian manufacturers of rivaroxaban state that the concurrent use of agents that are both an inhibitor of P-gp and a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 with rivaroxaban is contraindicated.(2,4) The US manufacturer states that concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors should be avoided(1) while the UK manufacturer states that concurrent use is not recommended.(3) Agents that are not strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp, including fluconazole, are expected to increase rivaroxaban levels to a lesser extent and can be used with rivaroxaban with caution in patients with normal renal function; however, in patients with decreased renal function (CrCL of 15 ml/min to 80 ml/min) these agents should only be used if the benefits of concurrent therapy outweigh the increased risk of bleeding.(1-4) If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory test (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: In a microdose cocktail study using rivaroxaban 25 mcg, voriconazole 400 mg every 12 hours for 2 doses then 200 mg every 12 hours (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) had "only a minor interaction," increasing the AUC of rivaroxaban by 1.33-fold (p<0.05) while the Cmax and half-life remained unchanged.(7) Another microdose cocktail study with rivaroxaban 25 mcg and voriconazole 400 mg twice daily found that rivaroxaban AUC increased by 1.16-fold with a non-significant change in Cmax.(8) A review article on DOAC drug-drug interactions suggests that the combination of voriconazole, crizotinib or imatinib with apixaban or rivaroxaban is contraindicated due to the potential for significant increases in DOAC AUC. The authors state that data with voriconazole is missing and thus the interactions are unpredictable.(5) Another review article states that rivaroxaban may be used with voriconazole if no other pharmacokinetic inhibitor is present; otherwise, concurrent use should be avoided. No dose adjustment is recommended with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.(6) Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: boceprevir, ceritinib, idelalisib, mibefradil, nefazodone, ribociclib, troleandomycin, and voriconazole.(9,10) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: aprepitant, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, crizotinib, duvelisib, fedratinib, fosnetupitant, imatinib, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and voxelotor.(9,10) |

| Suzetrigine/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Suzetrigine and M6-SUZ (active metabolite of suzetrigine) are CYP3A4 substrates. Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increase suzetrigine and M6-SUZ exposures, which may cause suzetrigine adverse reactions.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in elevated levels of and toxicity from suzetrigine including pruritis, muscle spasms, increased blood creatine phosphokinase, and rash.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: When possible, avoid the use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with suzetrigine. The US manufacturer of suzetrigine states when suzetrigine is administered to patients taking moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors reduce the suzetrigine dose as follows: -Dose 1: The recommended starting dose of suzetrigine is 100 mg orally. -Dose 2, 3, and 4: Starting 12 hours after the initial dose, take 50 mg of suzetrigine orally every 12 hours. -Dose 5 and Subsequent Doses: Starting 12 hours after Dose 4, take 50 mg of suzetrigine orally every 24 hours.(1) DISCUSSION: In a PKPB model, concomitant administration of fluconazole (a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) with suzetrigine with the recommended dosage modification is predicted to increase the area-under-curve (AUC) of suzetrigine and active metabolite M6-SUZ by 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively, while the maximum concentration (Cmax) of suzetrigine and M6-SUZ by 1.4-fold and 1.1-fold, respectively, when compared to the regular recommended dosage in the absence of fluconazole.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(2-3) |

| Sebetralstat/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of sebetralstat.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the levels and effects of sebetralstat including QTc prolongation, which may result in potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like torsades de pointes (TdP).(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Child-Pugh class B or C hepatic impairment may increase the risk for increased exposure to sebetralstat. Sebetralstat should be avoided in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C).(1) 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) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of sebetralstat states when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, reduce the dose of sebetralstat to one dose of 300 mg (one tablet) orally at the earliest recognition of a hereditary angioedema attack. A second dose of 300 mg (one tablet) may be taken at least 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur.(1) 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. DISCUSSION: Concomitant use of sebetralstat with verapamil (240 mg once daily for 6 days), a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, increased sebetralstat maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by 1.8-fold and 2-fold, respectively.(1) In a study in healthy subjects, the largest mean increase in QTc interval was 10.4 msec (upper confidence interval = 15.3 msec) after administration of sebetralstat (2.5 times the maximum recommended dose). The increase in the QTc interval was concentration dependent.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazonium, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, voxelotor.(3-4) |

| Roflumilast/Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors; Dual CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Agents that are either strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or dual inhibitors of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of roflumilast.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The coadministration of roflumilast with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or dual inhibitors of CY3A4 and CYP1A2 may increase roflumilast systemic exposure and may result in increased adverse reactions.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of roflumilast states concurrent use with CYP3A4 inhibitors or dual inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 should be approached with caution and the risk should be weighed carefully against the benefit. Consider alternatives with no or minimal enzyme inhibition.(1) DISCUSSION: In healthy subjects, concurrent use of roflumilast (500 mcg single dose) with erythromycin, a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, (500 mg three times daily for 15 days) increased the area-under-curve (AUC) and concentration maximum (Cmax) of roflumilast by 70% and 40%, respectively, and decreased the AUC and Cmax of roflumilast N-oxide by 4% and 34%, respectively.(1,2) In healthy subjects, concurrent use of roflumilast (500 mcg single dose) with ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, (200 mg twice daily for 13 days) increased the AUC and Cmax of roflumilast by 99% and 23%, respectively, and decreased the AUC and Cmax of roflumilast N-oxide by 3% and 38%, respectively.(1) In healthy subjects, concurrent use of roflumilast (500 mcg single dose) with fluvoxamine, a dual CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 inhibitor, (50 mg daily for 14 days) increased the AUC and Cmax of roflumilast by 156% and 12%, respectively, and decreased the AUC and Cmax of roflumilast N-oxide by 52% and 210%, respectively.(1) In healthy subjects, concurrent use of roflumilast (500 mcg single dose) with cimetidine, a dual CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 inhibitor, (400 mg twice daily for 14 days) increased the AUC and Cmax of roflumilast by 85% and 46%, respectively, and increased the AUC and decreased Cmax of roflumilast N-oxide by 27% and 4%, respectively.(1) Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: adagrasib, boceprevir, ceritinib, clarithromycin, cobicistat, idelalisib, indinavir, itraconazole, josamycin, ketoconazole, levoketoconazole, lonafarnib, lopinavir, mibefradil, mifepristone, nefazodone, nelfinavir, nirmatrelvir, paritaprevir, posaconazole, saquinavir, telaprevir, tipranavir, tucatinib, and voriconazole.(3,4) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, lefamulin (oral), lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, and voxelotor.(3,4) Dual CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: belumosudil, cannabidiol, cimetidine, ciprofloxacin, fluvoxamine, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, grapefruit, osilodrostat, piperine, ribociclib, rucaparib, simeprevir, telithromycin, troleandomycin, verapamil, and viloxazine.(3,4) |

| Elinzanetant/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Elinzanetant is metabolized via CYP3A4. Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may inhibit the metabolism of elinzanetant.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of elinzanetant with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may result in an increase in exposure of elinzanetant.(1,2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The Canadian(1) and US(2) manufacturers of elinzanetant recommends reducing the dose of elinzanetant to 60 mg once daily at bedtime when coadministered with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. After discontinuation of the moderate inhibitor (after 3 to 5 half lives of the inhibitor), elinzanetant should be used at the usual dose of 120 mg once daily.(1,2) DISCUSSION: Concomitant use of erythromycin (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) increased elinzanetant 120 mg area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 3-fold and 2-fold, respectively. Concomitant use of erythromycin with elinzanetant 60 mg increased elinzanetant AUC by 1.4-fold.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, clofazimine, conivaptan, crizotinib, darunavir, diltiazem, dronedarone, duvelisib, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluconazole, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, oral lefamulin, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nilotinib, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(3,4) |

| Ziftomenib/Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of ziftomenib.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the levels and effects of ziftomenib, including differentiation syndrome, neutropenia, and QTc prolongation, which may result in potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like torsades de pointes (TdP).(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) PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of ziftomenib states that concomitant use with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be monitored more closely for adverse reactions.(1) 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. DISCUSSION: Concomitant use of ziftomenib with itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitors) is predicted to increase ziftomenib area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 3-fold and 2-fold, respectively.(1) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (fluconazole, erythromycin, and isavuconazole) are predicted to increase ziftomenib AUC and Cmax by 2-fold and 2-fold, respectively.(1) Weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (cimetidine) are predicted to increase ziftomenib AUC and Cmax by 1.4-fold and 1.4-fold, respectively.(1) Moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 include: amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, avacopan, berotralstat, conivaptan, darunavir, diltiazem, duvelisib, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosnetupitant, imatinib, isavuconazole, lenacapavir, letermovir, netupitant, nirogacestat, rilzabrutinib, Schisandra, stiripentol, tofisopam, treosulfan, verapamil, and voxelotor.(3,4) |

Daily oral administration of nirogacestat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights, pre- and post-implantation loss, and fetal subcutis edema at doses >=20 mg/kg per day (approximately 0.85 times the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily based on AUC).
Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating nirogacestat. Apprise pregnant women of the potential hazard to a fetus.

It is unknown whether nirogacestat or its metabolites distribute into human milk, or affects milk production or the breast-fed child. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breast-fed children, advise women not to breast-feed during treatment with nirogacestat and for 1 week after the last dose.
Of the total number of patients treated with nirogacestat in the clinical trial, 4% of patients were >=65 years of age; none were >=75 years of age. Experience in patients >=65 years of age is insufficient to determine whether they respond differently to nirogacestat than younger adults.
