`FDA advises against using oral ketoconazole in drug interaction studies due to serious potential
`side effects
`[10/16/2013] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that drug companies and researchers
`avoid using oral ketoconazole in drug interaction studies. Serious potential liver injury and adrenal gland
`problems make using the drug risky, and other strong CYP3A inhibitors are available that can be used as
`alternatives in drug interaction studies.
`On July 25, 2013, FDA limited the use of Nizoral (ketoconazole) oral tablets to patients who do not have the
`option of taking alternative antifungals and who are undergoing treatment for certain fungal infections known as
`endemic mycoses (see Drug Safety Communication1). We took this action because oral ketoconazole can cause
`severe liver injuries and adrenal gland problems and may lead to harmful interactions with other drugs.
`Oral ketoconazole has sometimes been used as a strong CYP3A inhibitor in drug interaction studies designed to
`predict the effect of other CYP3A inhibitors on a drug that is being studied. The information gained from such
`studies helps determine whether a health care professional needs to take a specific safety-related action when
`prescribing a drug in conjunction with a CYP3A inhibitor.
`Most ketoconazole drug interaction studies are conducted in healthy subjects. In view of serious potential side
`effects associated with the drug, we recommend against the exposure of study subjects to ketoconazole. The
`dose of oral ketoconazole typically used in drug interaction studies (200-400 mg as a single dose or daily for as
`many as 5 days) is within the range of doses associated with liver injury. Instead of ketoconazole, FDA
`recommends that clarithromycin or itraconazole be used as the strong CYP3A inhibitor in drug interaction studies
`However, investigators can suggest other strong CYP3A inhibitors.
