Consumer:Using niraparib together with irinotecan liposomal may increase the risk of bone marrow impairment, which may lead to serious conditions known as Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Let your doctor know if you experience weakness, fatigue, fever, weight loss, infections, shortness of breath, unusual bleeding or bruising, or blood in urine or stool. 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 other myelosuppressive agents may potentiate and prolong the bone marrow toxicity associated with niraparib. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been reported in patients treated with niraparib. Some cases were fatal, and the duration of therapy with niraparib in patients who developed MDS/AML varied from less than 1 month to 2 years. All patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents while some patients also received DNA-damaging agents and radiotherapy.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if niraparib is prescribed with other myelosuppressive agents. Complete blood counts should be performed weekly for the first month, monthly for the next 11 months, and periodically thereafter. Do not start niraparib until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (Grade 1 or less). If hematological toxicities have not resolved within 4 weeks after interruption, discontinue niraparib and refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue niraparib. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience weakness, fatigue, fever, weight loss, infections, shortness of breath, unusual bleeding or bruising, or blood in urine or stool.
