Methods of treatment with CYP3A4 substrate drugs
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 for a condition selected from mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, marginal zone lymphoma, or chronic graft versus host disease with ibrutinib, wherein the patient is treated with posaconazole, comprising:
(a) stopping posaconazole treatment;
(b) delaying administering 420 mg or 560 mg of ibrutinib until at least 9 days after stopping posaconazole in step (a).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dose of ibrutinib in step (b) is 420 mg.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering in step (b) is 11 days after stopping posaconazole in step (a).
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering in step (b) is 12 days after stopping posaconazole in step (a).
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering in step (b) is 13 days after stopping posaconazole in step (a).
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering in step (b) is 14 days after stopping posaconazole in step (a).
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein said delaying of step (b) is at least 21 days.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition is mantle cell lymphoma.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition is chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition is Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
