Zytiga (Abiraterone) via nasogastric tube

Need your assistance if you have experience with a similar case. Abiraterone as a hazardous medication, and a medication of low solubility, with increased absorption with food and consequently increased side effects/adverse events, should not be crushed. We have a patient on NGT and need your guidance on what can be done in this case
Your urgent response is appreciated
Thank you
