Vitamin E and Glasdegib

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Glasdegib

Glasdegib falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Vitamin E interacts with.

Theoretically, vitamin E might induce metabolism of CYP3A4, possibly reducing the levels CYP3A4 substrates.
Vitamin E appears to bind with the nuclear receptor, pregnane X receptor (PXR), which results in increased expression of CYP3A4. Although the clinical significance of this is not known, use caution when considering concomitant use of vitamin E and other drugs affected by these enzymes.
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 gist for glasdegib (Daurismo). Your body relies on a liver enzyme called CYP3A4 to clear this leukemia medicine. There's a theory that high-dose vitamin E can nudge that enzyme to work a little faster (by switching on a receptor called PXR). If that happens, your glasdegib could be cleared more quickly, which might leave less of it in your system to fight the cancer.

I want to be honest about the strength of this: it's theoretical, based on how things work in the lab, not proven in people. Normal food amounts of vitamin E almost certainly don't matter. Concentrated, high-dose supplements are the concern. Because glasdegib is a serious cancer drug, please don't add or stop vitamin E without first checking with your oncology team or pharmacist.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Glasdegib page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would take off the table for anyone on glasdegib (Daurismo), a targeted pill for acute myeloid leukemia. It can push glasdegib levels up because the drug is cleared by the CYP3A4 enzyme, and 121 of the 146 ingredients touch that pathway, some raising its level and others, like St.”

About Vitamin E

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E
  • General antioxidant support
  • Skin and hair care
  • Heart health
  • Eye health (age-related conditions)
  • Immune support

Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant that most people get in adequate amounts from a normal diet. Supplements can help correct a true deficiency, but high-dose vitamin E has not been clearly proven to prevent heart disease or cancer and may carry risks. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before taking high doses.
