Interaction Effect

Increased iloperidone exposure


Interaction Summary

Coadministration of iloperidone, a CYP3A4 substrate, with ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, resulted in an increase in AUC of iloperidone and its metabolites in a drug interaction study (n=19). Therefore, when iloperidone is coadministered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, reduce the iloperidone dose by one-half because of the potential for QT-interval prolongation subsequent to increased iloperidone levels. Return the iloperidone dose to the previous dose upon discontinuation of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.


Severity

Major


Onset

Unspecified


Evidence

Theoretical


How To Manage Interaction

Concomitant use of iloperidone with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor may result in increased iloperidone levels. Reduce the iloperidone dose by one-half when coadministered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. When the CYP3A4 inhibitor is discontinued, adjust iloperidone dose back to the previous dose.


Mechanism Of Interaction

Inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated iloperidone metabolism


Literature Reports

A) Coadministration of a single dose of iloperidone 3 mg with ketoconazole 200 mg twice daily for 4 days resulted in an increase in AUC of iloperidone and its metabolites P88 and P95 by 57%, 55%, and 35%, respectively, in a study of 19 healthy subjects ages 18 to 45 years .

Idelalisib Overview

  • Idelalisib is used along with another medication rituximab (Rituxan) to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; a type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells) in people whose cancer came back after receiving other cancer treatments. It is also used to treat certain types of follicular lymphoma (FL; a type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL:a type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells) in people whose cancer came back after being treated with at least 2 other cancer treatments. Idelalisib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells.
