What the FDA labels say
From the Lorlatinib (Lorbrena) label · effective 2026-06-26
• Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use; reduce LORBRENA dose if concomitant use cannot be avoided.
Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of LORBRENA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor.
Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increased lorlatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of LORBRENA.
From the Fosaprepitant (FOCINVEZ) label · effective 2026-03-30
CYP3A4 Interactions: Fosaprepitant is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4, and aprepitant, the active moiety, is a substrate, inhibitor, and inducer of CYP3A4; see Full Prescribing Information for recommendations regarding contraindications, risk of adverse reactions, and dosage adjustment of FOCINVEZ and concomitant drugs.
Use of FOCINVEZ with strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin) may result in a reduction in aprepitant plasma concentrations and decreased efficacy of FOCINVEZ.
Single dose fosaprepitant does not induce CYP3A4.
Co-administration of FOCINVEZ with drugs that are inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 may result in increased or decreased plasma concentrations of aprepitant, respectively, as shown in Table 8.
…concomitant use of FOCINVEZ Examples Moderate inhibitor: diltiazem Strong inhibitors: ketoconazole, itraconazole, nefazodone, troleandomycin, clarithromycin, ritonavir, nelfinavir Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Clinical Impact Substantially decreased exposure of aprepitant in patients chronically taking a strong CYP3A4 inducer may decrease the efficacy of FOCINVEZ [see Clinical…
