Evodia and Adagrasib

These two interact in 3 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 3 Interactions?

Evodia interacts with whole categories of medication. Adagrasib falls into 3 of those categories, so it can interact with Evodia in 3 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS

1 of 3

Why this applies to Adagrasib

Adagrasib falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS — the group Evodia interacts with.

Theoretically, CYP3A4 inhibitors might increase the levels and clinical effects of evodia.
Animal research shows that concomitant administration of ketoconazole, a known CYP3A4 inhibitor, with the alkaloid constituents of evodia significantly increases the area under the curve (AUC), maximum concentration (Cmax), and half-life of these constituents.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Here's an interesting twist with this pairing. Adagrasib (Krazati), your cancer medicine, actually acts as a blocker of a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. Evodia happens to be broken down by that same enzyme. So in theory, Adagrasib could slow the breakdown of evodia's active compounds, letting them build up higher in your body than expected.

Keep in mind this is based only on animal and lab research, not human studies, so we can't say how big a deal it really is. Still, since the effects of evodia at supplement strength aren't well understood, it's safer not to combine them while you're on this treatment. Please check with your oncology team or pharmacist before adding any herbal product.

QT INTERVAL-PROLONGING DRUGS

2 of 3

Adagrasib also falls under QT INTERVAL-PROLONGING DRUGS.

Theoretically, evodia might have an additive effect with drugs that prolong the QT interval, potentially increasing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
Evodia has demonstrated dose-dependent activity as a proarrhythmic agent in animal and in vitro studies. Evodia infusion in animals extends the action duration potential and induces prolongation of the QT interval and Torsade de pointes.

Here's the concern with pairing Evodia and Krazati (adagrasib). Adagrasib is a targeted cancer pill that, on its own, can stretch out the heart's electrical reset time, something doctors call QT prolongation. In rare cases, that can lead to a dangerous irregular heartbeat. This isn't about Evodia changing how adagrasib is broken down; it's about two things pushing in the same direction at once.

In lab and animal studies, Evodia has also been shown to lengthen the QT interval. So the worry is an additive effect, with both nudging your heart rhythm the same way. I'll be honest, this is theoretical and based on animal data, not human reports, so don't panic. Still, since adagrasib already carries a real heart-rhythm warning, please run this combination past your oncologist or pharmacist before adding Evodia.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

3 of 3

Adagrasib also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.

Theoretically, evodia might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that evodia extract inhibits hepatic CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

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

Adagrasib (Krazati) is a targeted cancer pill that your liver clears using an enzyme called CYP3A4. Evodia, in test tube studies, appears to slow that same enzyme down. The concern here is theoretical: if Evodia blocked CYP3A4 in your body the way it does in the lab, your body might clear adagrasib more slowly and let it build up to higher levels.

For adagrasib, higher levels could mean more of its known side effects, like nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, or changes in heart rhythm (QT prolongation). I want to be honest, though, this effect has only been seen in lab dishes, not in real people, so we don't know if it matters at human doses. Since adagrasib is a serious cancer therapy, please don't add Evodia without first checking with your oncology team or pharmacist.

What These Ratings Mean

Every interaction above is graded three ways — here’s the key to each label.

Severity how clinically significant the interaction is
Major

Clinically significant. Avoid the combination, or use only under close professional supervision.

Moderate

Usually worth avoiding or managing — may need monitoring, a dose change, or timing apart.

Minor

Generally not serious. Be aware of it and mention it to your pharmacist.

Likelihood how strong the evidence is that the interaction actually happens in people
  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Evidence the quality of the studies behind the rating (graded A–D)
  • AHigh-quality meta-analysis (quantitative systematic review).
  • BCase-control study.
  • CConsensus.
  • DAnecdotal evidence.

About Adagrasib

What Is Adagrasib Used For?

Brand name: Krazati

Krazati (adagrasib) is used to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that carries a specific genetic change called a KRAS G12C mutation. It is used as a single agent for NSCLC after at least one prior treatment, and patients must be confirmed to have this mutation by an FDA-approved test.

Krazati is also used in combination with another drug called cetuximab to treat adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have already been treated with specific prior chemotherapy regimens. Both uses were approved under the FDA's accelerated approval program based on tumor response data, and continued approval may depend on results from confirmatory trials.
