Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) and Mobocertinib Succinate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Minor

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Mobocertinib Succinate

Mobocertinib Succinate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) interacts with.

Theoretically, THC may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that cannabis containing THC might modestly inhibit the activity of CYP3A4 enzymes, which might decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates. It is unclear if this effect is due to THC, other constituents, or the combination. In vitro research also shows that cannabis extracts containing THC modestly inhibit the CYP3A4 metabolism of testosterone; extracts providing the specific cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) or cannabigerol (CBG) alone had stronger inhibitory effects than extracts containing both THC and CBD. Conversely, a crossover clinical study in healthy adults shows that oral THC does not inhibit CYP3A4.
Severity Minor Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist: your lung cancer medicine, mobocertinib (Exkivity), is cleared from your body by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. Lab studies suggest THC might slow that enzyme a little. In theory, that could let mobocertinib build up slightly, which might bump up its side effects like diarrhea, nausea, mouth sores, or heart rhythm changes (mobocertinib can affect a heart signal called the QT interval).

The honest part: this is only a theoretical, lab-based concern, and a human study found oral THC did not actually block this enzyme. So the real-world risk looks low. Still, mobocertinib is a serious cancer drug with a narrow safety window, so please loop in your oncology team or pharmacist before mixing in any THC product.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mobocertinib Succinate page

“Mobocertinib (Exkivity) is a targeted therapy for a hard-to-treat lung cancer, which makes dosing precision matter and this list worth real caution. Most of the 146 supplements on file can shift the drug's blood level, because mobocertinib is cleared by CYP3A4, an enzyme many botanicals speed up or slow down.”

About Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)

What is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)?

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)
  • Chronic or nerve pain
  • Nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy
  • Appetite loss and weight loss
  • Muscle spasticity
  • Sleep problems
  • Anxiety and stress

THC is the main mind-altering compound in cannabis and is best known for causing a 'high.' A prescription form (dronabinol) is approved for chemotherapy-related nausea and appetite loss, but for most other uses the evidence is mixed or limited, and THC can impair thinking and driving. It should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding and used only with medical guidance.

About Mobocertinib

What Is Mobocertinib Used For?

Brand name: Exkivity

  • Mobocertinib is used to treat a certain type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed by surgery and has spread to other parts of the body either during or after treatment with platinum chemotherapy medications. Mobocertinib 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 or slow the spread of cancer cells and may help shrink tumors.
