ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for clinically safe and rational drug use through mining and analyzing adverse drug event （AE） signals induced by valproic acid （VPA）. METHODS Reporting Odds Ratio （ROR） and Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network （BCPNN） methods of Measures of Disproportionality were performed to mine and analyze the data of VPA-related AE reports in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS） database from the first quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2022. RESULTS A total of 1 253 （ROR） and 1 109 （BCPNN） valid signals of preferred terms （PT） were obtained after data processing by the two analysis methods， involving 27 system organs （SOC）， mainly focusing on nervous system disorders， psychiatric disorders， general disorders and administration site conditions. Signals that did not appear in the instruction were associated with 2 SOCs： ear and labyrinth disorders， infections and infestations. CONCLUSIONS As a first-line broad-spectrum anti-epileptic drug， attention should also be paid to eye toxicity and infection risk in the clinical application in addition to paying attention to common adverse events in the instruction.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the adverse drug reaction （ADR）signals of ado-trastuzumab emtansine and brentuximab vedotin，so as to provide reference for clinical medication safety. METHODS Using the FDA adverse drug event reporting system （FAERS）database and OpenVigil 2.1 data platform ，the ADR of the two drugs were collected from being approved by FDA to the Sep. 30th，2021. The ADR signals were detected by frequency method and sorted according to the occurrence frequency and signal strength respectively. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 2 319 and 3 178 ADR reports related to ado-trastuzumab emtansine and brentuximab vedotin were collected ，215 and 329 ADR signals were detected respectively. According to the occurrence frequency，the most frequent ADR s of the two drugs were thrombocytopenia （109 cases）and febrile neutropenia （198 cases）， separately，which were consistent with the drug instructions. According to the signal strength ，the spider nevus of ado-trastuzumab emtansine（report odds ratio of 451.46）and the noninfectious endocarditis of brentuximab vedotin （report odds ratio of 304.35） ranked first ，both of which were not reported in the drug instructions. It is suggested that attention should be paid not only to the most common ADR s of blood and lymphatic system caused by both drugs ，but also to the ADRs not reported in the drug instructions such as spider nevus of ado-trastuzumab emtansine and noninfective endocarditis of brentuximab vedotin.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To prov ide referen ce for clinical safe and rational use of belimumab by mining the risk signals of adverse drug event （ADE）. METHODS ：ADE reports related to belimumab were collected from FDA adverse event reporting system（FAERS）from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2021. The reporting odds ratio （ROR）method and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency （MHRA）method were adopted to mine the ADE risk signals related to belimumab，setting the threshold as the number of reports ＞3 and the lower limit of 95％ CI ＞1（ROR method ）and the proportional reporting ratio （PRR）＞2，and χ2 ＞4（MHRA method ）. ADEs were counted and classified by using the preferred system organ class （SOC）and preferred term （PT）of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities （MedDRA）. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS：A total of 3 529 ADE reports with belimumab as the primary suspicious drug were screened ，in which female patients（90.31％）were much more than male patients （6.15％）；age distribution was concentrated in 18-59 years old （41.80％）. There were 1 234 cases（34.97％）of severe ADE reports ，mainly involving hospital or prolonged hospital stay. Most of the reporters were consumers or other non-medical professionals （81.84％）. North America reported the most （70.39％）and the main reporting country was the United States （2 029 reports）. A total of 180 PTs were mined from 3 529 reports，in addition to PTs associated with primary disease （systemic lupus erythematosus ，pain，arthralgia，pyrexia，weight decreased ，swelling，oropharyngeal pain ， etc.），PTs related to medication error （product dose omission ，inappropriate schedule of product administration ，underdose， product availability issue ，etc.）and PTs related to infection （influenza，urinary tract infection ，infection，sinusitis，etc.）were reported in a large number of cases. Twenty-six SOCs were involved ，the top 10 SOC in ADE reports were all kinds of injuries ， poisoning and surgical complications （2 225 reports），infections and infectious diseases （1 247 reports），general disorders and administration site conditions （1 196 reports），musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders （1 195 reports），surgical and medical procedures（515 reports），etc. PTs in SOC in the first place （all kinds of injuries ，poisoning and surgical complications ）of ADE reports were all related to medication error ；herpes zoster ，kidney infection and cellulitis in SOC in the second place （infections and infectious diseases ）of ADE reports were not included in the drug instruction of belimumab ；most PTs in SOCs such as various nervous system diseases ，immune system diseases ，mental diseases ，benign，malignant and unknown tumors （including cystic and polypoid）which were taken attention in clinic were not included in the drug instruction of belimumab. It is suggested to avoid medication errors as far as possible in clinical use of belimumab ，and to guard against adverse reactions such as herpes zoster ， kidney infection ，cellulitis and various nervous system diseases ，immune system diseases and mental diseases. In addition ，the patients with malignant tumor or related history should use belizumab carefully.
