7 Drug Interactions

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Cyclophosphamide Exposure

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Protease Inhibitors

Concomitant use of protease inhibitors may increase the concentration of cytotoxic metabolites and may enhance the toxicities of cyclophosphamide, including higher incidence of infections, neutropenia, and mucositis. Monitor for increased toxicities in patients receiving protease inhibitors.

7.3 Effect of Cyclophosphamide on Other Drugs

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Metronidazole

Acute encephalopathy has been reported in a patient receiving cyclophosphamide and metronidazole. Monitor for neurologic toxicities in patients receiving metronidazole.

Tamoxifen

Concomitant use of tamoxifen and a cyclophosphamide-containing chemotherapy regimen may increase the risk of thromboembolic complications. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thromboembolic events in patients receiving tamoxifen.

Coumarins

Both increased and decreased warfarin effect have been reported in patients receiving warfarin and cyclophosphamide. Monitor anticoagulant activity closely in patients receiving warfarin or other coumarins.

Cyclosporine

Concomitant administration of cyclophosphamide may decrease serum concentrations of cyclosporine. This interaction may result in an increased incidence of graft-versus-host disease. Monitor for signs and symptoms of graft-versus-host disease in patients receiving cyclosporine.

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Patients with severe hepatic impairment have reduced conversion of cyclophosphamide to the active 4-hydroxyl metabolite, potentially reducing efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Monitor patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 x ULN and any aspartate aminotransferase (AST)) for reduced effectiveness of cyclophosphamide.

The alcohol content of FRINDOVYX should be taken into account when given to patients with hepatic impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

…

Myelosuppression, Immunosuppression, and Infections

    • Inform patients of the possibility of myelosuppression, immunosuppression, and infections (sometimes fatal). Explain the need for routine blood cell counts. Instruct patients to monitor their temperature frequently and immediately report any occurrence of fever [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

      ...

      Cardiotoxicity

    • Inform patients of the possibility of cardiotoxicity (which may be fatal).

      …

      Secondary Malignancies

    • Inform patients that there is an increased risk of secondary malignancies with FRINDOVYX

      [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

      …

      Hydration and Important Administration Instructions

    • Advise the patients that during or immediately after the administration, adequate amounts of fluid are required to reduce the risk of urinary tract toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
