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.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Selpercatinib (also called LOXO-292), itraconazole, and rifampin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will help doctors understand how to adjust selpercatinib doses when patients take common antifungal or antibiotic drugs, making treatment safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study in healthy volunteers, not patients. The results may not fully predict effects in people with cancer or those taking other medications.
