Testolone and Carfilzomib

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

Moderate

HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Carfilzomib

Carfilzomib falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Testolone interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use might have additive hepatotoxic effects.
In a case report, a 52-year-old male was diagnosed with liver injury thought to be related to the use of products containing testolone. Also, elevated liver enzymes were commonly reported in a dose escalation study of testolone.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

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 concern when Testolone (RAD-140) gets paired with carfilzomib (Kyprolis): both can be tough on your liver. Carfilzomib is a cancer treatment that can already raise your liver enzymes and, in some cases, cause liver injury. Testolone has its own track record of liver problems, including a case report of real liver damage and frequently elevated liver enzymes in early studies. Stacking the two could add up and put more strain on the same organ.

This is mostly a theoretical, additive worry, not a proven dangerous combo, but the signs to watch are real: yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, belly pain, or unusual tiredness. Remember, Testolone isn't an approved supplement and carries its own serious risks. Please loop in your oncology team or pharmacist before mixing anything with carfilzomib.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Carfilzomib page

“Every supplement on this page shares a single concern with carfilzomib (Kyprolis): extra strain on the liver. Carfilzomib is an IV chemotherapy for multiple myeloma, and that treatment is demanding enough without an herb quietly injuring the organ that has to keep pace.”

About Testolone

What is Testolone?

  • Muscle building
  • Athletic performance and bodybuilding
  • Strength gains
  • Body recomposition (fat loss with muscle gain)

Testolone (RAD-140) is a synthetic experimental drug called a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), not a dietary supplement or herb, and it is not approved or proven safe for human use. It is illegally sold for muscle building, has been linked to serious harms including liver injury, and is banned in sports — it should not be taken outside of supervised clinical research.

About Carfilzomib Injection

What Is Carfilzomib Injection Used For?

Brand name: Kyprolis

Kyprolis (carfilzomib) injection is used to treat adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma — a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow — whose disease has come back or stopped responding to earlier treatment. It is approved for patients who have received one or more prior lines of therapy.

Kyprolis may be given alone or in combination with other medications, including lenalidomide and dexamethasone, dexamethasone alone, daratumumab and dexamethasone, daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone, or isatuximab and dexamethasone. The specific combination depends on how many prior treatments a patient has received and what their care team recommends.
