Probable Drug Interaction Between Etanercept and Cyclosporine Resulting in Clinically Unexpected Low Trough Concentrations: First Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Preclinical studies have shown that anti-cytokine therapies could alter drug dispositions through affecting cytochrome P450 synthesis; however, evidence and case reports evaluating clinical relevance of this interaction are scarce. This is the first reported case of interaction between cyclosporine (CsA) and etanercept in a 42-year-old male patient with ankylosing spondylitis and immunoglobulin A nephropathy in whom cytokine levels were monitored both before and after CsA initiation. The initiation of etanercept led to at least 2.5-folds increase in total clearance of CsA. After comprehensive assessment and stepwise exclusion of alternative causes, it was considered that inflammation resolution with etanercept administration has highly induced clearance of CsA, probably mediated by interleukin-2. The case has shown that co-administration of CsA and anti-cytokine therapies such as etanercept needs close monitoring of trough levels. Physicians and pharmacists should be aware of similar interactions especially when the biological therapy is initiated or discontinued and for patients undergoing acute inflammation phase. Monitoring cytokine levels should be considered when drug-cytokine interaction is suspected.

Project description:Sudden unexpected death in human epileptic patients (SUDEP) is defined as death related to recurrent unprovoked seizures, death occurring unexpectedly, and suddenly in a patient with reasonable state of health, without an obvious medical cause of death, trauma, asphyxia, or intractable status epilepticus, and in post mortem examination no obvious reason for death can be found. "Probable SUDEP" (pSUDEP) is defined as SUDEP not confirmed pathologically. The adapted abbreviation for dogs is used in the following: "pSUDED" (probable sudden unexpected death in dogs with epilepsy). The aim of the present monocentric retrospective study using an online questionnaire was to evaluate the occurrence of pSUDED. Data of canine patients presented with seizures between 01/1998 and 05/2018 were retrospectively analyzed and classified according to their etiology (n = 1,503). Owners were contacted by telephone to participate in answering a validated questionnaire. A total of 509 owners were reached, and 373 owners completed the questionnaire. In addition to signalement (e.g., breed), special attention was paid to the frequency and presentation of seizures and seizures in the context of death. Fifty-one percent (191/373) of the dogs were dead at the endpoint of the study. A large proportion of the dogs was euthanized (149/191) because of seizure severity or health problems unrelated to seizures. Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) was diagnosed in 19/34 dogs which died unexpectedly. Of these seven animals had to be excluded for further investigation of pSUDED because of status epilepticus or aspiration pneumonia as a result of the seizures. In 12 dogs with IE the last seizure event occurred between 6 h and ~3 months before death. pSUDED was suspected in these dogs and an occurrence rate of 4.5-10% was calculated. pSUDED appears in a similar occurrence rate as human SUDEP and should be considered as a possible complication in epileptic dogs. The results of this study suggest that dogs with IE but especially those with brachycephalic syndrome and cluster seizures have an increased risk to die of pSUDED. Owners of dogs with seizures should be educated about the risk of sudden death in dogs with epilepsy.
