ABSTRACT: Background
Cutaneous adverse effects (AEs) are common following the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors treatment. We aim to estimate the incidence and risk of PI3K inhibitor-related cutaneous AEs.Methods
The protocol was submitted to the PROSPERO registry. We searched ClinicalTrials.gov and international databases up to July 29, 2022. Meta-analysis was conducted by using risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results
Fourteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 3877 patients were analyzed in this study. Compared with control arms, PI3K inhibitors showed a significant increase in the risk of all-grade rash, high-grade rash, and serious rash events (RR 2.29, 95% CI 1.58-3.31, p < 0.00001; RR 9.34, 95% CI 4.21-20.69, p < 0.00001; RR 5.11, 95% CI 2.11-12.36, p = 0.0003). The overall incidences of all-grade rash and high-grade rash were 26.2% (592/2257) and 4.4% (66/1487). Subgroup analyses of all-grade rash according to cancer types and PI3K inhibitor assignations identified the significant associations. PI3K inhibitors also significantly increased the risk of pruritus and dry skin (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.14-2.33, p = 0.007; RR 3.34, 95% CI 2.30-4.85, p < 0.00001), with incidences of 13.4% (284/2115) and 9.8% (141/1436) in the treatment group.Conclusion
There is a significantly increased risk of some cutaneous AEs in patients using PI3K inhibitors. Advance intervention is recommended in case of severe and life-threatening events. Further research is required to investigate the risk factors and pathogenesis.
