Futibatinib, a selective, irreversible fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-4 inhibitor, is being investigated for tumors harboring FGFR aberrations and was recently approved for the treatment of FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement-positive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. In vitro studies identified cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A as the major CYP isoform in futibatinib metabolism and indicated that futibatinib is likely a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate and inhibitor. Futibatinib also showed time-dependent inhibition of CYP3A in vitro. Phase I studies investigated the drug-drug interactions of futibatinib with itraconazole (a dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitor), rifampin (a dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducer), or midazolam (a sensitive CYP3A substrate) in healthy adult participants. Compared with futibatinib alone, coadministration of futibatinib with itraconazole increased futibatinib mean peak plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve by 51% and 41%, respectively, and coadministration of futibatinib with rifampin lowered futibatinib mean peak plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve by 53% and 64%, respectively. Coadministration of midazolam with futibatinib had no effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics compared with midazolam administered alone. These findings suggest that concomitant use of dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors/inducers with futibatinib should be avoided, but futibatinib can be concomitantly administered with other drugs metabolized by CYP3A. Drug-drug interaction studies with P-gp-specific substrates and inhibitors are planned.
