Everolimus-induced nephrotic syndrome precipitated by interaction with voriconazole in a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics 2017 December
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVES: Everolimus is a small molecule that inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and is used for treatment of various solid tumours and renal transplant rejection prophylaxis. Whereas everolimus-induced proteinuria was previously observed in 3%-36% renal transplant recipients, nephrotic syndrome was not reported in cancer patients taking everolimus. However, nephrotic syndrome was reported in patients taking sirolimus.
CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 32-year-old female with relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma who was on everolimus for 5 years and developed nephrotic syndrome about 2 months after initiation of voriconazole. She was on 10 mg everolimus once a day and 200 mg voriconazole twice a day orally. Renal biopsy revealed thrombotic microangiopathic vasculopathy and thin basement membrane nephropathy. Discontinuation of everolimus and voriconazole rapidly improved her nephrotic syndrome.
WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: We provide in-depth analysis of the underlying mechanisms of everolimus-induced nephrotic syndrome and hypothesize that voriconazole likely decreased everolimus metabolism. In the era of targeted therapy for cancer, healthcare providers should be aware of the drug-drug interaction between everolimus (as well as tyrosine kinase inhibitors) and cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 inhibitors (ie voriconazole).
