Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS BEIZRAY is contraindicated in patients with: • neutrophil counts of <1500 cells/mm 3 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . • a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to docetaxel. Severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . Hypersensitivity to docetaxel ( 4 ) Neutrophil counts of <1500 cells/mm 3 ( 4 )

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Docetaxel is a CYP3A4 substrate. In vitro studies have shown that the metabolism of docetaxel may be modified by the concomitant administration of compounds that induce, inhibit, or are metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4. In vivo studies showed that the exposure of docetaxel increased 2.2-fold when it was coadministered with ketoconazole, a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4. Protease inhibitors, particularly ritonavir, may increase the exposure of docetaxel. Concomitant use of BEIZRAY and drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 may increase exposure to docetaxel and should be avoided. In patients receiving treatment with BEIZRAY, close monitoring for toxicity and a BEIZRAY dose reduction could be considered if systemic administration of a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.7 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . • Cytochrome P450 3A4 inducers, inhibitors, or substrates: May alter docetaxel metabolism.
