Akynzeo for injection and Paclitaxel protein-bound Intravenous
Determining the interaction of Akynzeo for injection and Paclitaxel protein-bound Intravenous and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Fosnetupitant may increase the blood levels of PACLitaxel protein-bound. This can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, muscle pain or weakness, nerve damage, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. Contact your doctor if you experience paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, pain or burning during urination, vision problems, and/or numbness, burning or tingling in your hands and feet. You may need a dose adjustment and/or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2C8 and/or 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of paclitaxel, which has been found in vitro to be a substrate of these isoenzymes. Formal clinical drug interaction studies have not been conducted. However, in a case report involving a 77-year-old woman with HER2-positive invasive ductal breast cancer on long-term amiodarone therapy, 4 cycles of paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 weekly) and trastuzumab led to development of increasing abdominal discomfort and skin lesions and a diagnosis of paclitaxel-induced skin toxicity. Switching to reduced dose docetaxel (100 mg or 75 mg/m2 weekly) led to the development of severe skin and mucosal toxicity, requiring hospitalization 8 days after the first docetaxel dose was administered. Analysis of two blood samples taken 9 and 10 days after docetaxel administration showed an approximately fivefold increase in its AUC as well as the presence of paclitaxel in unquantifiable levels, 20 and 21 days after it was last administered. The authors of this case study propose that, in addition to CYP450 3A4 inhibition, CYP450 2C8 and P-glycoprotein inhibition due to amiodarone may also contribute to the interaction.
MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should consider the potential for interaction with drugs that inhibit CYP450 2C8 and/or 3A4 and monitor for evidence of dose-related toxicities of paclitaxel during coadministration, including diarrhea, mucositis, myelosuppression, and peripheral neuropathy.
