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

Moderate

HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Tagraxofusp-Erzs

Tagraxofusp-Erzs falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Greater Celandine interacts with.

There is some concern that greater celandine can adversely affect the liver. Greater celandine has been linked to many cases of hepatotoxicity. Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (TriCor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo).
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

Here's the simple version: Tagraxofusp-erzs (Elzonris) is a powerful cancer therapy that can be tough on the liver. In fact, it carries a warning about a serious reaction called capillary leak syndrome, and your care team already watches your liver enzymes and albumin closely during treatment. Greater celandine has been tied to many reports of liver injury on its own. So the worry is simple addition: stacking a liver-stressing herb on top of a drug that can also strain the liver may raise the odds of liver problems.

This concern is based on anecdotal reports, not strong studies, so it's theoretical. Still, given how closely your liver is monitored on this medication, I'd skip the celandine and check with your oncologist or pharmacist before adding any supplement.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tagraxofusp-Erzs page

“Tagraxofusp-erzs (Elzonris) is an infusion for a rare blood cancer, and it can strain the liver on its own. Every one of the 38 supplements and herbs on this list carries liver risk too, so stacking them on top of treatment deserves real respect, not a shrug.”

About Greater Celandine

What is Greater Celandine?

Greater Celandine
  • Digestive and gallbladder complaints
  • Stomach cramps and bloating
  • Topical use for warts and skin growths
  • Liver and gallbladder 'cleansing'
  • Mild pain relief

Greater celandine is a traditional herb most often promoted for digestive and gallbladder complaints, but solid human evidence for any use is lacking. More importantly, it has been linked to serious and sometimes severe liver injury, so most experts advise against taking it by mouth. If you are considering it, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.
