Methods of treating cancer
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 a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, comprising the steps of:
(a) stopping the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor treatment;
(b) delaying administering, for at least 3 days after stopping the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor 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 strong CYP3A4 inhibitor; and then
(c) administering the dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug;
wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is selected from the group consisting of fluticasone propionate/salmeterol, ibrutinib, tacrolimus, apixaban, tofacitinib, lurasidone, and rivaroxaban, and
wherein the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is posaconazole.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 3 days.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 4 days.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 5 days.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 6 days.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 7 days.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 8 days.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 12 days.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is at least 14 days.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 9-28 days.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 9-42 days.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 9-21 days.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 14-28 days.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 3-9 days.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 3-14 days.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 3-21 days.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delaying in step (b) is in the range of from 3-28 days.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is treated for a disease or condition selected from the group consisting of schizophrenia in adults and adolescents (13 to 17 years), depressive episodes associated with Bipolar I Disorder (bipolar depression) in adults and pediatrics (10 to 17 years) as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate, moderate bipolar depression, severe bipolar depression, severe bipolar depression with acute suicidal ideation and behavior (ASIB), transplantation, stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), in patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery, DVT, PE, recurrent DVT and PE following initial therapy, moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), to reduce the risk of major thrombotic vascular events in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), asthma in patients aged 4 years and older, airflow obstruction and reducing exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, marginal zone lymphoma, and chronic graft versus host disease.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is ibrutinib.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is tacrolimus.
21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is apixaban.
22. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is tofacitinib.
23. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is lurasidone.
24. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is rivaroxaban.
25. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CYP3A4 substrate drug is fluticasone propionate/salmeterol.
