Erythromycin may increase the blood levels and effects of romiDEPsin. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as anemia, bleeding problems, infections, or an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious or life-threatening. Contact your doctor if you develop 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, and pain or burning during urination. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or fast or pounding heartbeats during treatment with these 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of romidepsin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In patients with advanced cancer, administration of romidepsin 8 mg/m2 (4-hour infusion) with ketoconazole resulted in a 10% increase in romidepsin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 25% increase in systemic exposure (AUC) compared to romidepsin administered alone. The potential for increased risk of hematologic toxicities such as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia as well as electrocardiographic changes such as QT interval prolongation and T-wave and ST-segment changes should be considered.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when romidepsin is used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should have complete blood cell counts, electrocardiograms, and serum electrolyte levels performed at baseline and regular intervals as recommended in the product labeling. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.
