The main drug-drug interactions associated with sunitinib include

CYP3A4 Inhibitors/ Inducers

CYP3A4 Inhibitors

No clinically significant interaction has been observed between vandetanib and itraconazole, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor.1

CYP3A4 Inducers

Concomitant administration of the strong CYP3A4 inducer rifampicin resulted in a 40% reduction in exposure to vandetanib.1-3

QT Prolongators

QTc Interval-Prolonging Drugs

Vandetanib prolongs the QT interval, hence, concomitant administration with products known to prolong the QT interval should be avoided. Co-administration with ondasetron has a small additive effect on prolongation of the QTc interval.1,2

Other Drug-drug Interactions

CYP3A4 Substrates

There is no change in exposure for the CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam, when co-administered with vandetanib.1,2

P-glycoprotein Substrates

The AUC and Cmax for the P-glycoprotein substrate digoxin increased by 23% and 29% respectively, with vandetanib co-administration. The bradycardiac effect of digoxin may increase the risk for vandetanib QTc interval prolongation and Torsade de Points.1,2

Organic Cation 2 (OCT2) Transporter Substrates

The AUC and Cmax for metformin increased by 74% and 50% respectively, with vandetanib co-administration.1,2
