In vitro data indicate that cimetidine inhibits OAT1 and OCT2 but at concentrations much higher than the observed clinical concentrations. Cimetidine is also a weak inhibitor of several CYP-enzymes (CYPs 3A4, 1A2, 2D6 and 2C19 among others). Concentrations of pomalidomide may increase due to CYP3A4 inhibition. However, coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (400 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide mean AUC and Cmax by 18.8% and 7.3%, respectively. Therefore, a clinically relevant effect is not expected with cimetidine. No a priori dose adjustment for pomalidomide is necessary.

Ciprofloxacin
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but is not recommended. Ciprofloxacin is primarily eliminated unchanged in the kidneys by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion via OAT3. It is also metabolised and partially cleared through the bile and intestine. Pomalidomide does not interfere with this metabolic pathway. Ciprofloxacin is a weak to moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 and a strong inhibitor of CYP1A2, and may increase concentrations of pomalidomide. Coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (400 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide AUC and Cmax by 18.8% and 7.3%, respectively. Therefore, CYP3A4 inhibition is unlikely to cause a clinically relevant effect on pomalidomide exposure. However, coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the CYP1A2 inhibitor, fluvoxamine (50 mg twice daily), plus the CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide AUC and Cmax by 145.7% and 106.7%, respectively, when compared to pomalidomide alone. In a second study the contribution of a CYP1A2 inhibitor alone was assessed. Coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and fluvoxamine (50 mg twice daily) increased pomalidomide mean exposure by 125% compared to pomalidomide alone. Coadministration with ciprofloxacin is not recommended. Selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product with no or minimal potential to inhibit CYP1A2 should be considered. If coadministration is unavoidable, the dose of pomalidomide needs to be reduced by 50%. Close monitoring for pomalidomide toxicity is recommended. Monitor pomalidomide concentrations, if available.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Desogestrel is a prodrug which is activated to etonogestrel by CYP2C9 (and possibly CYP2C19); the metabolism of etonogestrel is mediated by CYP3A4. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs. However, coadministration of combined oral contraception is contraindicated with pomalidomide. The potential impact of pomalidomide on the pharmacokinetics of combined oral contraceptives has not been clinically evaluated, but the effect of oral contraceptives can be reduced by the registered comedication, dexamethasone. An increased risk of venous thromboembolism was observed in patients with multiple myeloma taking pomalidomide, dexamethasone and combined oral contraception. Therefore, a switch to another effective contraception method is recommended. The risk of venous thromboembolism continues for 4-6 weeks after discontinuing combined oral contraception. The following can be considered to be examples of suitable methods of contraception: implant, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, medroxyprogesterone acetate depot, tubal sterilization, sexual intercourse with a vasectomised male partner only (vasectomy must be confirmed by two negative semen analyses) and ovulation inhibitory progesterone-only pills (i.e. desogestrel).

Therefore, a switch to another effective contraception method is recommended. The risk of venous thromboembolism continues for 4-6 weeks after discontinuing combined oral contraception. The following can be considered to be examples of suitable methods of contraception: implant, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, medroxyprogesterone acetate depot, tubal sterilization, sexual intercourse with a vasectomised male partner only (vasectomy must be confirmed by two negative semen analyses) and ovulation inhibitory progesterone-only pills (i.e. desogestrel).

Flucytosine
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a pharmacokinetic interaction is unlikely. Flucytosine is metabolised to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). 5-FU is further metabolised by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) to an inactive metabolite. Pomalidomide does not interfere with this elimination pathway. However, 5-FU binds to the enzyme thymidylate synthase resulting in DNA damage. This mechanism occurs in all fast dividing cells including bone marrow cells, resulting in haematological toxicity. Pomalidomide also induces haematological toxicity which could be enhanced by the use of flucytosine. Due to the risk of additive haematological toxicity, haematological parameters should be monitored if coadministered.

Pomalidomide
Fluvoxamine
Quality of Evidence: Moderate
Summary:
Coadministration is not recommended. Fluvoxamine is metabolised mainly by CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent by CYP1A2. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs. Fluvoxamine is also an inhibitor of CYPs 1A2, 2C19, 3A4, 2C9. Concentrations of pomalidomide may increase due to inhibition of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. Coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and fluvoxamine (50 mg twice daily), plus the CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide AUC and Cmax by 145.7% and 106.7%, respectively, when compared to pomalidomide alone. In a second study the contribution of a CYP1A2 inhibitor alone was assessed. Coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and fluvoxamine (50 mg twice daily) increased pomalidomide mean exposure by 125% compared to pomalidomide alone. Therefore, coadministration with fluvoxamine is not recommended. Selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product with no or minimal potential to inhibit CYP1A2 should be considered. If coadministration is unavoidable, the dose of pomalidomide needs to be reduced by 50%. Close monitoring for pomalidomide toxicity is recommended. Monitor pomalidomide concentrations, if available.

Fosaprepitant
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Fosaprepitant is rapidly, almost completely, converted to the active metabolite aprepitant. Aprepitant is mainly metabolised by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs. However, during treatment aprepitant is a weak-moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 and a weak inhibitor of CYP2C9. After treatment aprepitant is an inducer of CYP3A4, CYP2C9 (weak) and UGT (weak). Pomalidomide concentrations may slightly alter during and after treatment with aprepitant due to CYP3A4 induction and inhibition. However, coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (400 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide mean AUC and Cmax by 18.8% and 7.3%, respectively. A clinically relevant effect is not expected during fosaprepitant treatment. Furthermore, coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inducer, carbamazepine (200mg twice daily), decreased pomalidomide AUC and Cmax by 20% and 25%, respectively. A clinically relevant effect is not expected after fosaprepitant treatment. No a priori dose adjustment for pomalidomide is necessary but monitoring of pomalidomide efficacy may be required.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Itraconazole is primarily metabolised by CYP3A4. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs. Itraconazole is also an inhibitor of CYP3A4 (strong), CYP2C9 (weak), P-gp and BCRP.

Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Metronidazole is eliminated via glomerular filtration.

Elevated plasma concentrations have been reported for some CYP3A substrates (e.g. tacrolimus, ciclosporin) with metronidazole, but metronidazole did not increase concentrations of several CYP3A probe drugs (e.g. midazolam, alprazolam). Since the mechanism of the interaction with CYP3A has yet to be identified, an interaction with pomalidomide cannot be excluded. However, coadministration of pomalidomide (4mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (400 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide mean AUC and Cmax by nearly 18.8% and 7.3%, respectively. Therefore, a clinically relevant interaction is not expected with metronidazole. No a priori dose adjustment for pomalidomide is necessary.

Nicotinamide is converted to N-methylnicotinamide by nicotinamide methyltransferase, which in turn is metabolised by xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase. Pomalidomide does not interact with this metabolic pathway. In addition, nicotinic acid and its metabolites do not inhibit or induce CYP-mediated reactions in vitro and therefore are unlikely to impact pomalidomide exposure.

Norelgestromin
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Norelgestromin is metabolised to norgestrel (possibly by CYP3A4). Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs. However, coadministration of combined oral contraception is contraindicated with pomalidomide. The potential impact of pomalidomide on the pharmacokinetics of combined oral contraceptives has not been clinically evaluated, but the effect of oral contraceptives can be reduced by the registered comedication, dexamethasone. An increased risk of venous thromboembolism was observed in patients with multiple myeloma taking pomalidomide, dexamethasone and combined oral contraception. Therefore, a switch to another effective contraception method is recommended. The risk of venous thromboembolism continues for 4-6 weeks after discontinuing combined oral contraception. The following can be considered to be examples of suitable methods of contraception: implant, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, medroxyprogesterone acetate depot, tubal sterilization, sexual intercourse with a vasectomised male partner only (vasectomy must be confirmed by two negative semen analyses) and ovulation inhibitory progesterone-only pills (i.e. desogestrel).

Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Oxcarbazepine is extensively metabolised to the active metabolite monohydroxyderivate (MHD) through cystolic enzymes. Pomalidomide does not interact with this metabolic pathway. Both oxcarbazepine and MHD are inducers of CYP3A4 (moderate) and CYP3A5, and are inhibitors of CYP2C19.

Ranolazine
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Ranolazine is primarily metabolised by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2D6. Ranolazine is also substrate of P-gp. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs or P-gp. Furthermore, ranolazine is a weak inhibitor of P-gp, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Concentrations of pomalidomide may slightly increase due to inhibition of CYP3A4. However, coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (400 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide mean AUC and Cmax by 18.8% and 7.3%, respectively. Therefore, a clinically relevant effect is not expected on pomalidomide exposure. No a priori dose adjustment for pomalidomide is necessary.

Pomalidomide
Voriconazole
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Voriconazole is metabolised by CYP2C19 (major) and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs. Voriconazole is also a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 and a weak inhibitor of CYPs 2C9, 2C19 and 2B6. Concentrations of pomalidomide may slightly increase due to inhibition of CYP3A4. However, coadministration of pomalidomide (4 mg single dose) and the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole (400 mg twice daily), increased pomalidomide mean AUC and Cmax by 18.8% and 7.3%, respectively. Therefore, a clinically relevant effect is not expected with voriconazole. No a priori dose adjustment for pomalidomide is necessary.

Pomalidomide
Warfarin
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Warfarin is a mixture of enantiomers which are metabolised by different cytochromes. R-warfarin is primarily metabolised by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. S-warfarin (more potent) is metabolised by CYP2C9. Pomalidomide does not inhibit or induce CYPs.

Pomalidomide
Xipamide
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Approximately 90% of xipamide is excreted in the urine, mainly as unchanged drug (~50%) and glucuronides (30%). OAT1/3 are the major transporters of loop and thiazide diuretics. Secretion of these diuretics into the urinary tract by transporters in the proximal tubular cells is necessary for the diuretic effect in later tubule segments. Pomalidomide does not interfere with this elimination pathway.

Zaleplon
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Zaleplon is mainly metabolised by aldehyde oxidase and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. Pomalidomide does not interact with this metabolic pathway.

Pomalidomide
Ziprasidone
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Approximately two thirds of ziprasidone metabolic clearance is by reduction, with less than one third by CYP enzymes (mainly CYP3A4). Pomalidomide does not interfere with this metabolic pathway.

Pomalidomide
Zoledronic acid
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Zoledronic acid is not metabolised but is cleared from the plasma by uptake into bone and elimination via renal excretion. Pomalidomide does not interfere with this elimination pathway.
