Drug interaction of thiotepa
  • In vitro studies suggest that thiotepa is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 to its active metabolite TEPA. Avoid coadministration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, itraconazole, ritonavir) and strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin) with thiotepa due to the potential effects on efficacy as well as toxicity. Consider alternative drugs with no or minimal potential to inhibit or induce CYP3A4. If concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 modulators cannot be avoided, monitor for adverse drug reactions.
  • Use of thiotepa together with cyclophosphamide in patients decreases the conversion of cyclophosphamide to the active metabolite, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide; the effect seems sequence-dependent with a greater decrement in the conversion to 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide when thiotepa is used 1.5 hours prior to the intravenous use of cyclophosphamide in comparison with the administration of thiotepa following intravenous cyclophosphamide. The decrease in the level of 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide may potentially decrease the efficacy of cyclophosphamide treatment.
