  • Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection, including opportunistic infections, and treat as needed.

Interaction Notes

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Effect of LUNSUMIO on CYP450 Substrates LUNSUMIO causes release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] that may suppress activity of CYP450 enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP450 substrates.
  • Increased exposure of CYP450 substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of LUNSUMIO on Cycle 1 Day 1 and up to 14 days after the 60 mg dose on Cycle 2 Day 1 and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
  • Monitor for toxicity or concentrations of drugs that are CYP450 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.
  • Consult the concomitant CYP450 substrate drug prescribing information for recommended dosage modification.
