The use of systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants before starting tremelimumab, except physiological dose of systemic corticosteroids (≤10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent), is not recommended because of their potential interference with the pharmacodynamic activity and efficacy of tremelimumab. However, systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants can be used after starting tremelimumab to treat immune-related adverse reactions (see Precautions).
No formal pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with tremelimumab. Since the primary elimination pathways of tremelimumab are protein catabolism via reticuloendothelial system or target-mediated disposition, no metabolic drug-drug interactions are expected. PK drug-drug interactions between tremelimumab in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy were assessed in the POSEIDON study and showed no clinically meaningful PK interactions between tremelimumab, durvalumab, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, pemetrexed, carboplatin or cisplatin in the concomitant treatment.
