How we grade severity & evidence
Severity levels
- Contraindicated: These should generally not be used together.
- Major: Potentially serious — often needs a change or close monitoring.
- Moderate: Can be significant — usually manageable with monitoring.
- Minor: Usually limited clinical impact.
Evidence grades
- Established: Well documented — supported by controlled studies or strong clinical data.
- Probable: Good supporting evidence, though not definitively proven.
- Suspected: Some evidence suggests this interaction, but it is not well established.
- Possible: Limited or conflicting evidence; the interaction may occur.
- Theoretical: Predicted from the drugs' pharmacology; not yet confirmed in people.
Ratings come from the documented interaction literature and are reviewed by a pharmacist. They describe the documented risk of the combination, not what will necessarily happen to you — your dose, timing, and health picture all matter.
What happens
Increased P-gp substrate exposure and an increased risk of increased adverse reactions
Interaction Deep Dive
Coadministration of capmatinib with a P-gp substrate increased P-gp substrate exposure, which may increase the adverse reactions of these substrates1. When coadministered with digoxin (P-gp substrate), the AUC(0 to inf) of digoxin increased by 47% and Cmax increased by 74% 12. If coadministration is unavoidable between capmatinib and P-gp substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the P-gp substrate dosage as recommended 1.
Why it happens (mechanism)
Inhibition of P-gp-mediated efflux transport by capmatinib

a) Coadministration of capmatinib with digoxin (a P-gp substrate) increased digoxin AUC(0 to inf) by 47% and increased Cmax by 74% 1. Compared with digoxin alone, the digoxin geometric mean ratio for AUC(infinity) was 1.47 (90% CI, 1.28 to 1.68), AUC(last) was 1.63 (90% CI, 1.42 to 1.89), and Cmax was 1.74 (90% CI, 1.43 to 2.13) following coadministration of capmatinib and digoxin in a small prospective single-sequence study in adult patients with MET-dysregulated advanced solid tumors refractory to currently available therapies (N=32). Digoxin t(1/2) was also prolonged with coadministration of capmatinib compared with digoxin alone (61.4 vs 47 hours); Tmax was not affected. Capmatinib 400 mg twice daily for 12 days was coadministered with a single dose of digoxin 0.25 mg and rosuvastatin 10 mg on day 12 2.
