Cancer drug interaction study tests antifungal and antibiotic effects
NCT ID NCT05338489
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how two common drugs—itraconazole (an antifungal) and rifampin (an antibiotic)—change the way the body processes selpercatinib, a cancer medication. Twenty-four healthy adults took selpercatinib alone and then with each of the other drugs. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood to see if doses need adjustment. The goal is to ensure safe and effective use when these drugs are combined in cancer patients.
