Evodia and Fedratinib Hydrochloride

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Fedratinib Hydrochloride

Fedratinib Hydrochloride falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Evodia interacts with.

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.
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.

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

Your body relies on a liver enzyme called CYP3A4 to help clear fedratinib (Inrebic) out of your system. In lab studies, evodia appears to slow that same enzyme down. If that held true in people, fedratinib could build up higher than expected, which may mean more of its typical side effects, things like nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, low blood counts, or bruising.

I want to be honest about the strength here: this is only test-tube research, and it has not been seen in actual patients, so it stays in the theoretical zone for now. Still, fedratinib is a serious cancer medicine with real risks, so I'd play it safe. Please check with your oncologist or pharmacist before adding evodia.

About Fedratinib

What Is Fedratinib Used For?

Brand name: Inrebic

Inrebic (fedratinib) is approved to treat adult patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF) — a type of bone marrow cancer that disrupts normal blood cell production.

It is used both in patients who have not been treated before and in those who have previously been treated with ruxolitinib, another myelofibrosis medication.
