Abstract
Background: Ivosidenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4; however, it induces CYP450 isozymes, including CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, whereas it inhibits drug transporters, including P-glycoprotein. Patients with acute myeloid leukemia are at risk of invasive fungal infections, and therefore posaconazole and voriconazole are commonly used in this population. Voriconazole is a substrate of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4; therefore, concomitant ivosidenib may result in decreased serum concentrations. Although posaconazole is a substrate of P-glycoprotein, it is metabolized primarily via UDP glucuronidation; thus, the impact of ivosidenib on posaconazole exposure is unknown.
Methods: Patients treated with ivosidenib and concomitant triazole with at least one serum trough level were included. Subtherapeutic levels were defined as posaconazole < 700 ng/mL and voriconazole < 1.0 µg/mL. The incidences of breakthrough invasive fungal infections and QTc prolongation were identified at least 5 days after initiation of ivosidenib with concomitant triazole.
Results: Seventy-eight serum triazole levels from 31 patients receiving ivosidenib-containing therapy and concomitant triazole were evaluated. Of the 78 concomitant levels, 47 (60%) were subtherapeutic (posaconazole: n = 20 of 43 [47%]; voriconazole: n = 27 of 35 [77%]). Compared to levels drawn while patients were off ivosidenib, median triazole serum levels during concomitant ivosidenib were significantly reduced. There was no apparent increase in incidence of grade 3 QTc prolongation with concomitant azole antifungal and ivosidenib 500 mg daily.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that concomitant ivosidenib significantly reduced posaconazole and voriconazole levels. Voriconazole should be avoided, empiric high-dose posaconazole (>300 mg/day) may be considered, and therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended in all patients receiving concomitant ivosidenib.
