Enzalutamide
Acenocoumarol
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied and should be avoided. Acenocoumarol is mainly metabolised by CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. Enzalutamide is a moderate inducer of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 and a weak inducer of CYP1A2. Concentrations of acenocoumarol may decrease due to induction of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. Therefore, coadministration should be avoided. Patients who require anticoagulation should receive low-molecular-weight or standard heparin, instead of coumarin derivatives. Note: After discontinuation of enzalutamide, the effect of the interaction can persist up to several weeks.

Coadministration has not been studied. Carvedilol undergoes glucuronidation via UGTs 1A1, 2B4 and 2B7, and metabolism via CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent CYPs 2C9 and 1A2. Enzalutamide is a moderate inducer of CYP2D6 and CYP2C9, and a weak inducer of CYP1A2. Concentrations of carvedilol may decrease due to induction of CYP2D6 by enzalutamide. The clinical relevance of this interaction is unknown but coadministration should be avoided. If possible, selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or minimal metabolism via CYP2D6 should be considered. If coadministration is clinically necessary, close monitoring of carvedilol efficacy is recommended. A dose increase of carvedilol may be necessary to achieve comparable efficacy.

In addition, clomipramine and desmethylclomipramine are also metabolised by CYP2D6. Enzalutamide is a strong inducer of CYP3A4 and a moderate inducer of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. Concentrations of clomipramine may significantly decrease due to induction of CYPs 3A4, 2C19 and 2D6 by enzalutamide. However, induction of CYPs 3A4, 1A2 and 2C19 may increase concentrations of the active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine, which may lead to a supratherapeutic effect. Therefore, coadministration should be avoided. If possible, selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or minimal metabolism via CYPs 3A4, 2C19 and 2D6 should be considered.

Formoterol is eliminated primarily by direct glucuronidation, with O-demethylation (by CYPs 2D6, 2C19, 2C9, and 2A6) followed by further glucuronidation. Enzalutamide is a moderate inducer of CYPs 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6, and may decrease formoterol concentrations. Since CYP mediated metabolism is one of multiple pathways, a clinically relevant interaction is unlikely.

Fosaprepitant
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but should be avoided. Fosaprepitant is rapidly, almost completely, converted to the active metabolite aprepitant. Enzalutamide does not interact with this metabolic pathway. However, aprepitant is mainly metabolised by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. Enzalutamide is a strong inducer of CYP3A4, a weak inducer of CYP1A2 and a moderate inducer of CYP2C19. Concentrations of aprepitant may significantly decrease due to induction of CYPs 3A4, 1A2 and 2C19. Therefore, coadministration should be avoided. If possible, selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or minimal metabolism via CYP3A4 should be considered. Furthermore, during treatment aprepitant is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 and may increase concentrations of enzalutamide, but this is unlikely to be clinically relevant. After treatment, aprepitant is a weak inducer of CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and UGT. Concentrations of enzalutamide may decrease due to weak induction of CYP3A4, but this is not considered to be clinically relevant.

Fosphenytoin
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but should be avoided. Fosphenytoin is rapidly converted to the active metabolite phenytoin. Phenytoin is mainly metabolised by CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19. Enzalutamide is a moderate inducer of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, and may decrease concentrations of phenytoin. If possible, selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or minimal metabolism via CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 should be considered. If coadministration is clinically necessary, close monitoring of phenytoin efficacy is recommended. A dose increase of phenytoin may be necessary to achieve comparable efficacy. Furthermore, phenytoin is a potent inducer of CYP3A4, UGT and P-gp. Concentrations of enzalutamide may decrease due to strong induction of CYP3A4. A decrease in exposure can lead to decreased efficacy. Selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or minimal potential to induce CYP3A4 should be considered. If coadministration is clinically necessary, the US product label for enzalutamide recommends a dose increase from 160 mg to 240 mg once daily, based on careful monitoring of tolerability (Note: The EU product label states that no dose adjustment is necessary when enzalutamide is coadministered with CYP3A4 inducers). Monitor closely for both phenytoin and enzalutamide efficacy. Monitor phenytoin and enzalutamide plasma concentrations, if available.

However, the use of levonorgestrel as emergency contraception is a relative contraindication due to the risk of a pregnancy while having a hormone-sensitive tumour. Therefore, the following information is applicable: Coadministration has not been studied and is unlikely due to the differing target populations. Levonorgestrel is metabolised by CYP3A4 and is glucuronidated to a minor extent. Enzalutamide is an inducer of CYP3A4 (strong) and UGT1A1 (in vitro), and may significantly decrease concentrations of levonorgestrel. Coadministration should be avoided.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. CYP1A2 is the predominant enzyme involved in lidocaine metabolism in the range of therapeutic concentrations with a minor contribution from CYP3A4. Enzalutamide is a strong inducer of CYP3A4 and a weak inducer of CYP1A2. However, since CYP3A4 mediated metabolism is a minor pathway and CYP1A2 is only weakly induced, a clinically relevant interaction is unlikely.

Linagliptin
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Linagliptin is mainly eliminated as parent compound in faeces with metabolism by CYP3A4 representing a minor elimination pathway. Linagliptin is also a substrate of P-gp. Enzalutamide is a strong inducer of CYP3A4 and an inhibitor of P-gp in vitro. Linagliptin concentrations may decrease due to induction of CYP3A4 but concentrations may also increase due to inhibition of P-gp. The clinical relevance of these interactions is unknown. Therefore, coadministration should be avoided. If possible, selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or minimal metabolism via CYP3A4 and P-gp should be considered. If coadministration is clinically necessary, close monitoring of linagliptin efficacy is recommended and a dose increase of linagliptin may be necessary to achieve comparable efficacy. In addition, linagliptin is an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and may increase concentrations of enzalutamide. This is unlikely to be clinically relevant as enzalutamide is a strong inducer of CYP3A4 and CYP3A4 mediated metabolism is only a minor pathway.

Tacrolimus is an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and OATP1B1 and may increase concentrations of enzalutamide. However, this is unlikely to be clinically relevant as enzalutamide is a strong inducer of CYP3A4 and CYP3A4 mediated metabolism is only a minor pathway. No a priori dosage adjustment is recommended for enzalutamide but close monitoring of toxicity should be considered.
