Moderate

Selumetinib (applies to Koselugo) cardiomyopathy

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Heart Disease

Cardiomyopathy, defined as a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >=10% below baseline, occurred in over 20% of pediatric patients who received selumetinib. The safety of this drug has not been established in patients with a history of impaired LVEF or an ejection fraction below the limit of normal. Caution is advised if using on these patients. Assess ejection fraction by echocardiogram prior to initiating treatment, and periodically during therapy.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
