Relevance: 13.05.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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:

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of ixabepilone, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, administration of ixabepilone in combination with the CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole resulted in a 79% increase in ixabepilone systemic exposure (AUC) compared to treatment without ketoconazole. MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of ixabepilone with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided. If coadministration is necessary, a reduction of the ixabepilone dosage to 20 mg/m2 should be considered. Based on pharmacokinetic studies, this dosage is predicted to adjust the ixabepilone systemic exposure (AUC) to the range observed without inhibitors. However, clinical data are lacking. Following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, a washout period of approximately one week should be allowed before the ixabepilone dosage is adjusted upward to the indicated dosage.
