INTERACTIONS

7.1 Effect of IDHIFA on Other Drugs Certain CYP1A2 Substrates Avoid concomitant use with IDHIFA unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP1A2 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Consider reducing the frequency of caffeine intake from various food and beverages in a 24 hour period while taking IDHIFA because IDHIFA may increase the effect of caffeine in patients who are sensitive to it. Enasidenib is a CYP1A2 inhibitor. Concomitant use of IDHIFA increases the exposure of CYP1A2 substrates <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to the substrates. Certain CYP2C19 substrates Avoid concomitant use with IDHIFA unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP2C19 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Enasidenib is a CYP2C19 inhibitor. Concomitant use of IDHIFA increases the exposure of CYP2C19 substrates <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain CYP3A substrates Avoid concomitant use with IDHIFA unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to reduced efficacy. Do not administer IDHIFA with anti-fungal agents that are substrates of CYP3A due to expected loss of antifungal efficacy. Co-administration of IDHIFA may decrease the concentrations of hormonal contraceptives. Consider alternative methods of contraception in patients receiving IDHIFA [See use in Specific Population (8.1 , 8.3 )] . Enasidenib is a CYP3A inducer. Concomitant use of IDHIFA decreases the exposure of CYP3A substrates <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may reduce the efficacy of the substrates. Certain OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP Substrates Avoid coadministration of IDHIFA with OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Enasidenib is an OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP transporter inhibitor. Concomitant use of IDHIFA increases the exposure of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP substrates <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain P-glycoprotein (P-gp)

Substrates

When coadministered with IDHIFA, follow recommended P-gp substrates Prescribing Information and monitor more frequently for adverse reactions related to these substrates. Enasidenib is a P-gp transporter inhibitor. Concomitant use of IDHIFA increases the exposure of P-gp substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to the substrates.

Contraindications

None. None ( 4 ).

AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : IDHIFA can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and use effective contraception ( 5.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ).

5.1 Differentiation Syndrome In the clinical trial, 14% of patients treated with IDHIFA experienced differentiation syndrome, which may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells. While there is no diagnostic test for differentiation syndrome, symptoms in patients treated with IDHIFA included acute respiratory distress represented by dyspnea and/or hypoxia (68%) and need for supplemental oxygen (76%); pulmonary infiltrates (73%) and pleural effusion (45%); renal impairment (70%); fever (36%); lymphadenopathy (33%); bone pain (27%); peripheral edema with rapid weight gain (21%); and pericardial effusion (18%). Hepatic, renal, and multi-organ dysfunction have also been observed. Differentiation syndrome has been observed with and without concomitant hyperleukocytosis, in as early as 1 day and up to 5 months after IDHIFA initiation. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg every 12 hours) and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement. Taper corticosteroids only after resolution of symptoms. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment. If severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support, and/or renal dysfunction persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids, interrupt IDHIFA until signs and symptoms are no longer severe <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]</span> . Hospitalization for close observation and monitoring of patients with pulmonary and/or renal manifestation is recommended.

5.2 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, enasidenib caused embryo-fetal toxicities starting at 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure based on the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at the recommended human dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non‑hormonal contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for 2 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for 2 months after the last dose <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ]</span> .
