Methods of treatment
The present disclosure provides for methods of treating a patient with a CYP3A4 substrate drug, wherein the patient is treated with posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient stops posaconazole treatment, waits for at least 2 days, and then is treated with the CYP3A4 substrate drug as soon as it is safe to do so. In some embodiments, treatment with the CYP3A4 substrate drug is delayed for about 2-42 days after stopping posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient is treated with a reduced dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug for about 2-42 days.
1. A method of treating a patient in need thereof with a CYP3A4 substrate drug, wherein the patient is treated with posaconazole,
comprising the steps of:
(a) stopping posaconazole treatment;
(b) delaying administering, for at least 9 days after stopping posaconazole treatment, a dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug that the patient would have received based on the patient's age and condition if the patient had not been treated with posaconazole; and then
(c) administering the dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug;
wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is selected from the group consisting of venetoclax, pazopanib hydrochloride, ivacaftor, olaparib, ruxolitinib phosphate, and brexpiprazole.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 10 days.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 12 days.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 14 days.
5. The method claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 9-28 days.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 9-42 days.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 9-21 days.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 14-28 days.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is treated for a disease or condition selected from the group consisting of moderate bipolar depression, severe bipolar depression, and severe bipolar depression with acute suicidal ideation and behavior (ASIB), cystic fibrosis in patients 6 years and older who are homozygous for the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene, cystic fibrosis (CF) patients aged 12 years and older who are homozygous for the F508del mutation or who have at least one mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that is responsive to tezacaftor/ivacaftor based on in vitro data and/or clinical evidence, cystic fibrosis (CF) in patients age 2 years and older who have one mutation in the CFTR gene that is responsive to ivacaftor based on clinical and/or in vitro assay data, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adult patients who are ≥75 years old or who have comorbidities that preclude use of intensive induction chemotherapy, renal cell carcinoma, advanced renal cell carcinoma, advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy, deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer in adult patients who have been treated with three or more prior lines of chemotherapy, intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera patients who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea, as an adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), and schizophrenia.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis is primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is venetoclax.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is pazopanib hydrochloride.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is ivacaftor.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is olaparib.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is ruxolitinib phosphate.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is brexpiprazole.
