      Drug Name Inotuzumab ozogamicin Fingolimod
      Mechanism 1 Immunosuppressive effects Immunosuppressive effects
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Immunosuppressive effects
Factor Description Immunosuppression is when your immune system is not functioning as it should. The immune system is made up of cells, tissues and organs that help the body fight off infections. If the immune system is suppressed, an infection that your body was able to control may become serious or even fatal.
      Mechanism Description
  • Additive immunosuppressive effects by the combination of Inotuzumab ozogamicin and Fingolimod

      Drug Name Inotuzumab ozogamicin Fingolimod
      Mechanism 2 Prolong QT interval Bradycardia
      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Ventricular arrhythmias
Factor Description Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that cause your heart's lower chambers to pump blood instead of pumping it. This can limit or stop your heart from supplying blood to your body. While some of these arrhythmias are harmless and do not cause symptoms, others can have serious, even fatal, effects on your body.
      Mechanism Description
  • Increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias by the combination of Inotuzumab ozogamicin and Fingolimod 

Recommended Action
      Management The safety and efficacy of fingolimod in combination with antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, or immune-modulating agents have not been evaluated. Caution is advised during coadministration. A complete blood count is recommended prior to starting fingolimod if a recent one (i.e., within last 6 months) is not available. Fingolimod has not been studied in patients receiving drugs that can prolong the QT interval. Because bradycardia and AV block are recognized risk factors for QT prolongation and torsade de pointes arrhythmia, close monitoring is recommended during initiation of fingolimod treatment in patients receiving concomitant drugs that can prolong the QT interval, patients with significant QT prolongation (QTc >470 msec in females or >450 msec in males), or patients with relevant risk factors for QT prolongation (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, congenital QT prolongation).
