Severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis: Insufficient information is available for a dosing recommendation.

Acetaminophen; Aspirin; Diphenhydramine: (Major) Use caution if diphenhydramine and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for diphenhydramine-related adverse effects. Consider if another antihistamine would be a better choice for treatment. Diphenhydramine is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of dihydrocodeine with rolapitant may increase dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, dihydromorphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of dihydrocodeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of rolapitant could decrease dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations and increase dihydromorphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If rolapitant is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Dihydrocodeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to dihydromorphine, and by CYP3A4. Rolapitant is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6.

Acetaminophen; Diphenhydramine: (Major) Use caution if diphenhydramine and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for diphenhydramine-related adverse effects. Consider if another antihistamine would be a better choice for treatment. Diphenhydramine is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Acetaminophen; Hydrocodone: (Moderate) Concomitant use of hydrocodone with rolapitant may increase hydrocodone plasma concentrations and prolong opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. It is recommended to avoid this combination when hydrocodone is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage reduction of hydrocodone until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of rolapitant could decrease hydrocodone plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy, and potentially lead to a withdrawal syndrome in those with physical dependence to hydrocodone. If rolapitant is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider increasing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Hydrocodone is a substrate for CYP2D6. Rolapitant is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6. The inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration.
Afatinib: (Moderate) If the concomitant use of rolapitant and afatinib is necessary, monitor for afatinib-related adverse reactions. If the original dose of afatinib is not tolerated, consider reducing the daily dose of afatinib by 10 mg; resume the previous dose of afatinib as tolerated after discontinuation of rolapitant. The manufacturer of afatinib recommends permanent discontinuation of therapy for severe or intolerant adverse drug reactions at a dose of 20 mg per day, but does not address a minimum dose otherwise. Afatinib is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate and rolapitant is a P-gp inhibitor; coadministration may increase plasma concentrations of afatinib. Administration with another P-gp inhibitor, given 1 hour before a single dose of afatinib, increased afatinib exposure by 48%; there was no change in afatinib exposure when the P-gp inhibitor was administered at the same time as afatinib or 6 hours later. In healthy subjects, the relative bioavailability for AUC and Cmax of afatinib was 119% and 104%, respectively, when coadministered with the same P-gp inhibitor, and 111% and 105% when the inhibitor was administered 6 hours after afatinib.
Alpelisib: (Major) Avoid coadministration of alpelisib with rolapitant due to increased exposure to alpelisib and the risk of alpelisib-related toxicity. If concomitant use is unavoidable, closely monitor for alpelisib-related adverse reactions. Alpelisib is a BCRP substrate and rolapitant is a BCRP inhibitor.
Amitriptyline: (Major) Monitor for increased serum concentrations of amitriptyline and for amitriptyline-related adverse effects, such as nausea, dizziness, hypotension, syncope, and QT prolongation, if coadministered with rolapitant. Lower doses of either drug may be required with coadministration. When rolapitant is withdrawn from co-therapy, an increased dose of amitriptyline may be required. Amitriptyline is a CYP2D6 substrate, and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Apalutamide: (Major) Avoid coadministration of rolapitant with apalutamide due to decreased plasma concentrations of rolapitant. Rolapitant is a CYP3A4 substrate and apalutamide is a strong CYP3A4 inducer. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased rolapitant exposure by 85%; the mean half-life of rolapitant decreased from 176 hours to 41 hours.
Aprepitant, Fosaprepitant: (Major) Rolapitant and aprepitant, fosaprepitant should not be used together, as they are a duplication of therapy. Additionally, rolapitant is a CYP3A4 substrate. Aprepitant, when administered as a 3-day oral regimen (125 mg/80 mg/80 mg), is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor and inducer and may increase plasma concentrations of rolapitant. For example, a 5-day oral aprepitant regimen increased the AUC of another CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam (single dose), by 2.3-fold on day 1 and by 3.3-fold on day 5. After a 3-day oral aprepitant regimen, the AUC of midazolam (given on days 1, 4, 8, and 15) increased by 25% on day 4, and then decreased by 19% and 4% on days 8 and 15, respectively. As a single 125 mg or 40 mg oral dose, the inhibitory effect of aprepitant on CYP3A4 is weak, with the AUC of midazolam increased by 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively. After administration, fosaprepitant is rapidly converted to aprepitant and shares many of the same drug interactions. However, as a single 150 mg intravenous dose, fosaprepitant only weakly inhibits CYP3A4 for a duration of 2 days; there is no evidence of CYP3A4 induction. Fosaprepitant 150 mg IV as a single dose increased the AUC of midazolam (given on days 1 and 4) by approximately 1.8-fold on day 1; there was no effect on day 4. Less than a 2-fold increase in the midazolam AUC is not considered clinically important.
Aripiprazole: (Moderate) Monitor for aripiprazole-related adverse reactions during concomitant use of rolapitant. Patients receiving both a CYP3A inhibitor plus rolapitant may require an aripiprazole dosage adjustment. Dosing recommendations vary based on aripiprazole dosage form and CYP3A inhibitor strength. See prescribing information for details. Concomitant use may increase aripiprazole exposure and risk for side effects. Aripiprazole is a CYP2D6 and CYP3A substrate; rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor.
Asenapine: (Major) Use caution if asenapine and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for asenapine-related adverse effects. Asenapine is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant lasts for at least 7 days, and may last longer after single dose administration. The Cmax and AUC of another CYP2D6 substrate, dextromethorphan, were increased by 120% and 160%, respectively, on day 1 with rolapitant, and by 180% and 230%, respectively, on day 8 after rolapitant administration.
Aspirin, ASA; Carisoprodol; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with rolapitant may increase codeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of rolapitant could decrease codeine plasma concentrations and increase morphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If rolapitant is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Rolapitant is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Atazanavir; Cobicistat: (Major) Use caution if cobicistat and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for cobicistat-related adverse effects. Cobicistat is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Atomoxetine: (Major) Use caution if atomoxetine and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for atomoxetine-related adverse effects. Atomoxetine is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Berotralstat: (Major) Reduce the berotralstat dose to 110 mg PO once daily in patients chronically taking rolapitant. Concurrent use may increase berotralstat exposure and the risk of adverse effects. Berotralstat is a P-gp and BCRP substrate and rolapitant is a P-gp and BCRP inhibitor. Coadministration with another P-gp and BCRP inhibitor increased berotralstat exposure by 69%.
Betrixaban: (Major) Avoid betrixaban use in patients with severe renal impairment receiving rolapitant. Reduce betrixaban dosage to 80 mg PO once followed by 40 mg PO once daily in all other patients receiving rolapitant. Bleeding risk may be increased; monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of bleeding. Betrixaban is a substrate of P-gp; rolapitant inhibits P-gp.
Brexpiprazole: (Moderate) Use caution if brexpiprazole and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for increased brexpiprazole-related adverse effects. Brexpiprazole is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor. The inhibitory effect of rolapitant lasts for at least 7 days, and may last longer after single dose administration. The Cmax and AUC of another CYP2D6 substrate, dextromethorphan, were increased by 120% and 160%, respectively, on day 1 with rolapitant, and by 180% and 230%, respectively, on day 8 after rolapitant administration. In addition, the manufacturer of brexpiprazole recommends that the brexpiprazole dose be reduced to one-quarter (25%) of the usual dose in patients receiving a moderate to strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 in combination with a moderate to strong inhibitor of CYP2D6. Therefore, if rolapitant is used in combination with brexpiprazole and a moderate to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, the brexpiprazole dose should be adjusted and the patient should be carefully monitored for brexpiprazole-related adverse reactions.
Brimonidine; Timolol: (Major) Use caution if timolol and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for timolol-related adverse effects. Timolol is a substrate of CYP2D6 and rolapitant is an inhibitor of CYP2D6 ; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Brompheniramine; Dextromethorphan; Phenylephrine: (Moderate) Rolapitant increases exposure to dextromethorphan. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor. Rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor with a prolonged effect; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. During drug interaction studies, exposure (AUC) to dextromethorphan following a single dose of rolapitant increased close to 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in dextromethorphan exposure (AUC), the last time point measured.
Brompheniramine; Pseudoephedrine; Dextromethorphan: (Moderate) Rolapitant increases exposure to dextromethorphan. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor. Rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor with a prolonged effect; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. During drug interaction studies, exposure (AUC) to dextromethorphan following a single dose of rolapitant increased close to 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in dextromethorphan exposure (AUC), the last time point measured.
Butalbital; Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with rolapitant may increase codeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of rolapitant could decrease codeine plasma concentrations and increase morphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If rolapitant is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Rolapitant is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6.

Carbamazepine: (Major) Avoid the use of rolapitant with chronic administration of carbamazepine. Rolapitant is a CYP3A4 substrate and carbamazepine is a strong CYP3A4 inducer. When another strong CYP3A4 inducer, rifampin (600 mg once daily), was administered for 7 days before and 7 days after a single dose of rolapitant (180 mg), the mean Cmax and AUC of rolapitant were decreased by 30% and 85%, respectively; additionally, the mean half-life decreased from 176 hours to 41 hours. Significantly reduced plasma concentrations and decreased half-life can decrease the efficacy of rolapitant.
Carvedilol: (Major) Use caution if carvedilol and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for carvedilol-related adverse effects. Carvedilol is a substrate of CYP2D6 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) that is individually dose-titrated, and rolapitant is an inhibitor of CYP2D6 and P-gp. The inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured. When oral rolapitant was administered with another P-gp substrate, the day 1 Cmax and AUC were increased by 70% and 30%, respectively; the Cmax and AUC on day 8 were not studied. When the P-gp substrate was administered with a single dose of intravenous rolapitant, no effect on AUC and a 21% increase in the Cmax of P-gp substrate was observed.
Celecoxib; Tramadol: (Major) Use caution if tramadol and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for tramadol-related adverse effects as well as possible changes to the efficacy of tramadol. Rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured. The analgesic activity of tramadol is due to the activity of both the parent drug and the O-desmethyltramadol metabolite (M1), and M1 formation is dependent on CYP2D6; therefore, use of tramadol with a CYP2D6-inhibitor may alter tramadol efficacy. In addition, inhibition of CYP2D6 is expected to result in reduced metabolic clearance of tramadol, which in turn may increase the risk of tramadol-related adverse events including serotonin syndrome and seizures; serotonin syndrome is characterized by rapid development of hyperthermia, hypertension, myoclonus, rigidity, autonomic instability, mental status changes (e.g., delirium or coma), and in rare cases, death.
Chlordiazepoxide; Amitriptyline: (Major) Monitor for increased serum concentrations of amitriptyline and for amitriptyline-related adverse effects, such as nausea, dizziness, hypotension, syncope, and QT prolongation, if coadministered with rolapitant. Lower doses of either drug may be required with coadministration. When rolapitant is withdrawn from co-therapy, an increased dose of amitriptyline may be required. Amitriptyline is a CYP2D6 substrate, and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration.

Concomitant use is contraindicated in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. Additionally, this combination is contraindicated if colchicine is being used for cardiovascular risk reduction. If concomitant use is necessary outside of these scenarios, consider a colchicine dosage reduction. Specific dosage reduction recommendations are available for colchicine tablets for some indications; it is unclear if these dosage recommendations are appropriate for other products or indications. For colchicine tablets being used for gout prophylaxis, reduce the dose from 0.6 mg twice daily to 0.3 mg once daily or from 0.6 mg once daily to 0.3 mg once every other day. For colchicine tablets being used for gout treatment, reduce the dose from 1.2 mg followed by 0.6 mg to 0.6 mg without an additional dose. For colchicine tablets being used for Familial Mediterranean Fever, the maximum daily dose is 0.6 mg. Colchicine is a P-gp substrate and rolapitant is a P-gp inhibitor.

Patients should be monitored for increased adverse effects of dabigatran. When dabigatran is administered for treatment or reduction in risk of recurrence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) or prophylaxis of DVT or PE following hip replacement surgery, avoid coadministration with P-gp inhibitors like rolapitant in patients with CrCl less than 50 mL/minute. When dabigatran is used in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and severe renal impairment (CrCl less than 30 mL/minute), avoid coadministration with rolapitant, as serum concentrations of dabigatran are expected to be higher than when administered to patients with normal renal function.

Vincristine: (Moderate) Use caution if vincristine and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for vincristine-related adverse effects. Vincristine is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate, where an increase in exposure may significantly increase adverse effects; rolapitant is a P-gp inhibitor.

Vortioxetine: (Major) Use caution if vortioxetine and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for vortioxetine-related adverse effects. Vortioxetine is a substrate of CYP2D6 and rolapitant is an inhibitor of CYP2D6 ; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Warfarin: (Major) Avoid the concurrent use of warfarin and rolapitant if possible; if coadministration is necessary, monitor INR and prothrombin time carefully and adjust the dosage of warfarin, as needed to maintain the target INR range. In vitro, warfarin is a CYP2D6 substrate, and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.

Rolapitant is a selective, competitive antagonist of substance P/neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors. Substance P and the NK1 receptors are present in the brain stem (medulla) centers that control the emetic reflex. Substance P is a peptide that increases the contractions of smooth GI muscles and leads to vasodilation. Rolapitant has little or no affinity for the NK2 or NK3 receptors.

Rolapitant is administered orally and crosses the blood brain barrier to occupy NK1 receptors. After a single 180 mg dose of rolapitant was administered to healthy subjects, the mean NK1 receptor occupancy was 73% in the striatum at 120 hours; the relationship between NK1 receptor occupancy and clinical efficacy has not been established. Rolapitant is highly protein bound to human plasma (99.8%), with an apparent volume of distribution (Vd) of 460 liters in healthy subjects indicating extensive tissue distribution; the Vd in cancer patients is 387 liters, based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis. Following single intravenous doses (18 to 180 mg) and single oral doses (4.5 to 180 mg) of rolapitant, the mean terminal half-life of rolapitant ranged from 138 to 205 hours and 169 to 183 hours (approximately 7 days), respectively, and was independent of dose. The mean half-life of the active metabolite, M19, was 158 hours. The apparent total clearance (CL/F) was 0.96/L/hour in cancer patients, based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis. The total clearance following intravenous administration of 166.5 mg rolapitant in healthy subjects was 1.65 L/hour. Rolapitant is eliminated primarily via the hepatic/biliary route, with 14.2% of a radiolabeled dose (range, 9% to 20%) recovered in the urine and 73% (range, 52% to 89%) recovered in feces over 6 weeks. In pooled samples collected over 2 weeks, 8.3% of the dose was recovered in the urine (primarily as metabolites) and 37.8% was recovered in the feces (primarily as unchanged drug); unchanged rolapitant or M19 were not found in the pooled urine sample.
 
Affected cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes and other drug transporters: CYP2D6, CYP3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP)
Rolapitant is metabolized by CYP3A4 to form a major active metabolite, M19 (C4-pyrrolidine-hydroxylated rolapitant); the exposure ratio of M19: rolapitant was approximately 50% in plasma. Rolapitant is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6, and also inhibits P-gp and BCRP. Avoid the use of rolapitant with strong CYP3A4 inducers, and with substrates of CYP2D6, P-gp, and BCRP that have a narrow therapeutic index.

Female patients of reproductive potential should be advised of the risk of infertility with rolapitant; in animal fertility studies, rolapitant impaired fertility in a reversible fashion. Although there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnancy, there were no teratogenic or embryo-fetal effects observed with oral administration of rolapitant to rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 1.3 and 2.9 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), respectively. Pregnant rats experienced decreased weight gain and/or weight loss as well as a decrease in food consumption during the first week of dosing equivalent to 13.5 or 22.5 mg/kg/day of rolapitant free base (0.72 to 1.2 times the MRHD); additional maternal toxicities included total litter loss, prolonged parturition, decreased length of gestation, and increased number of unaccounted for implantation sites at doses equivalent to 1.2 times the MRHD. At this dose, offspring experienced decreased postnatal survival and decreased or increased body weight, which may be related to the maternal toxicity. At a maternal dose equivalent to 0.5 times the MRHD, there was a decrease in memory in female pups in a maze test and a decrease in pup body weight.
