Potential Interaction
Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)
Vincristine
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been studied. Vincristine is metabolized by CYP3A5/4. Lopinavir/ritonavir could potentially increase vincristine exposure. Close monitoring of vincristine induced toxicity is recommended. Consider temporarily withholding the ritonavir containing regimen in patients who develop significant haematologic or gastrointestinal side effects. If the antiretroviral regimen must be withheld for a prolonged period, consider initiating a revised regimen that does not include a CYP3A or P-gp inhibitor. An empirical dose reduction of vincristine may also be considered, especially in patients who have previously experienced or are at high risk for toxicity.
Description:
There is the risk of increased adverse events due to higher serum concentrations of vincristine and vinblastine due to CYP3A inhibition when coadministered with Kaletra. Carefully monitor the tolerance of these anticancer agents.
