Osimertinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity: A Retrospective Review of the FDA Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The goal of this study was to compare the risk of cardiotoxicity with osimertinib versus all other drugs and versus epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (erlotinib, afatinib, and gefitinib) in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS), a pharmacovigilance database.

Background

Osimertinib has been shown to improve outcomes in T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer patients who progress on EGFR-TKI therapy and in the frontline setting in EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer. In pivotal trials, osimertinib was associated with higher rates of cardiotoxicity compared with the control arm.

Methods

FAERS was queried for "Cardiac failure," "Electrocardiogram QT-prolonged," "Atrial Fibrillation (AF)," "Myocardial Infarction (MI)," and "Pericardial Effusion" secondary to "Osimertinib," "Erlotinib," "Afatinib," "Gefitinib," and all other drugs from 2016 to 2018. Disproportionality signal analysis was performed by calculating the reporting odds ratio (ROR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI). The ROR was considered significant when the lower limit of the 95% CI was >1.0.

Results

The ROR (95% CI) for cardiac failure, atrial fibrillation (AF), QT prolongation, myocardial infarction, and pericardial effusion due to osimertinib versus all other drugs in FAERS was 5.4 (4.2 to 7.1), 4.0 (2.8 to 5.8), 11.2 (7.9 to 15.8), 1.6 (0.9 to 2.6), and 8.2 (4.8 to 14), respectively. The ROR (95% CI) for cardiac failure, AF, QT prolongation, myocardial infarction, and pericardial effusion in comparing osimertinib versus other EGFR-TKIs was 2.2 (1.5 to 3.2), 2.1 (1.3 to 3.5), 6.6 (3.4 to 12.8), 1.2 (0.6 to 2.3), and 1.6 (0.8 to 3.3).

Conclusions

The RORs for cardiac failure, AF, and QT prolongation were higher due to osimertinib compared with other TKIs. Electrocardiographic monitoring for QT prolongation and monitoring for signs and symptoms of heart failure should be considered in patients taking osimertinib.

Project description:Aim and background: This study attempted to identify similarities and differences in adverse events (AEs) between human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitors, especially those related to hemorrhagic events and nervous system disorders. Methods: This study summarized the types, frequencies, and system organ classes (SOCs) of AEs of HER2 inhibitors. The US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data from January 2004 through March 2022 was collected and analyzed. Disproportionality analyses were conducted to detect AEs signals for every HER2 inhibitor. The chi-square test, Wilcoxon test, and descriptive analysis were used to compare the differences of AEs for specific SOCs or drugs. Results: A total of 47,899 AE reports were obtained for eight HER2 inhibitors. Trastuzumab-related AEs were reported in the highest number and combination of regimens. In monotherapy, trastuzumab had the highest reported rate of cardiac disorders-related AEs (24.0%). However, small-molecule drugs exceeded other drugs in the reported rates of AEs related to gastrointestinal disorders, metabolism and nutrition disorders. The highest reported rates of respiratory disorders (47.3%) and hematologic disorders (22.4%) were associated with treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Patients treated with trastuzumab emtansine (TDM-1) had the highest reported rate (7.28%) of hemorrhagic events, especially intracranial haemorrhage events. In addition, patients treated with TDM-1 with concomitant thrombocytopenia were likely to experience hemorrhagic events compared to other HER2 inhibitors (p < 0.001). The median time to onset of intracranial haemorrhage associated with trastuzumab (0.5 months) and TDM-1 (0.75 months) was short. However, there was no significant difference in median time to onset intracranial haemorrhage between patients in different age groups or with different outcomes. Disproportionality analysis results reveal that cerebral haemorrhage is a positive signal associated with T-DXd and TDM-1. In addition, tucatinib was the drug with the highest rate of reported nervous system disorders (31.38%). Memory impairment (83 cases) is a positive signal for tucatinib. Conclusion: The types and reporting rates of AEs associated with different HER2 inhibitors vary across multiple systems. In addition, hemorrhagic events concomitant with TDM-1 treatment and nervous system disorders concomitant with tucatinib treatment may be worthy of attention.

Project description:BackgroundTigecycline has broad-spectrum anti-bacterial activity and often used for critically ill patients with complicated infections. Only a few clinical studies have reported the coagulation disorder induced by tigecycline. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between tigecycline and coagulation dysfunction using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.MethodData from January 2005 to December 2020 in FAERS were retrieved. We investigated the clinical characteristics of the coagulation dysfunction events and conducted disproportionality analysis by using reporting odds ratios (ROR) to compare tigecycline with the full database and other antibiotics.ResultsThe total number of reports of coagulation dysfunction related to tigecycline as the primary suspect drug was 223. The median time to event of the coagulation dysfunction events was 10 (interquartile range [IQR] 6.75-13) days. 80.72% coagulation-related adverse events appeared within the first 14 days since the initiation of tigecycline administration. The overall ROR (95% CI) for coagulation-related adverse events was 3.55 (3.08, 4.09). The RORs (95% CI) for thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenaemia, coagulopathy, activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged, international normalized ratio increased, prothrombin time prolonged were 8.21 (6.34, 10.62), 705.41 (526.81, 944.54), 30.67 (21.92, 42.92), 42.98 (24.85, 74.31), 4.67 (2.51, 8.71), and 27.99 (15.01, 52.19), respectively. In analyses stratified on comparing tigecycline to vancomycin and daptomycin, significant coagulation dysfunction signals were found with the RORs (95% CI) 2.74 (2.34, 3.22) and 3.08 (2.57, 3.70).ConclusionsWe found a strong signal of high frequency of reporting coagulation dysfunction in tigecycline. Health professionals should be aware of the potential coagulation disorders risk and monitor coagulation parameters during anti-bacterial therapy with tigecycline, particularly the need to monitor fibrinogen levels.

Project description:BackgroundTaxanes are an essential class of antineoplastic agents used to treat various cancers and are a fundamental cause of hypersensitivity reactions. In addition, other adverse events, such as bone marrow toxicity and peripheral neuropathy, can lead to chemotherapy discontinuation. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of taxanes in the real world.MethodsTaxane-associated adverse events were identified by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities Preferred Terms and analyzed and compared by mining the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System pharmacovigilance database from January 2004 to December 2019. Reported adverse events, such as hypersensitivity reaction, bone marrow toxicity, and peripheral neuropathy, were analyzed with the following signal detection algorithms: reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and logistic regression methods. Adverse outcome events and death outcome rates were compared between different taxane groups using Pearson's χ2 test, whereas significance was determined at P < 0.05 with a 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsA total of 966 reports of hypersensitivity reactions, 1109 reports of bone marrow toxicity, and 1374 reports of peripheral neuropathy were analyzed. Compared with paclitaxel and docetaxel, bone marrow toxicity following the use of nab-paclitaxel had the highest ROR of 6.45 (95% two-sided CI, 6.05-6.88), PRR of 5.66, (χ2 = 4342.98), information component of 2.50 (95% one-sided CI = 2.34), and empirical Bayes geometric mean of 5.64 (95% one-sided CI = 5.34). Peripheral neuropathy following the use of nab-paclitaxel showed a higher ROR of 12.78 (95% two-sided CI, 11.55-14.14), PRR of 12.16 (χ2 = 4060.88), information component of 3.59 (95% one-sided CI = 3.25), and empirical Bayes geometric mean of 12.07 (95% one-sided CI = 11.09).ConclusionsThe results showed that bone marrow toxicity and peripheral neuropathy were the major adverse events induced by taxanes. Nab-paclitaxel exhibited the highest potential for taxane-associated adverse events. Further research in the future is warranted to explain taxane-associated adverse effects in real-world circumstances.
