Real World Safety of Shujin Jianyao Pills in 3 033 Cases Under Intensive Hospital Monitoring Based on Active Monitoring / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo further assess the safety of clinical application of Shujin Jianyao pills after marketing and find its potential risk factors as early as possible， to obtain the real world medication situation of Shujin Jianyao pills and its incidence of adverse reactions and clinical characteristics， and to explore the factors affecting the occurrence of adverse drug reactions （ADR）. MethodIn this study， prospective， large-sample， multi-center and intensive whole-hospital monitoring with continuous registration was carried out， combined with telephone follow-up visits 2-4 weeks after the end of medication， for whole treatment course monitoring among patients. In addition， the three-level quality control was strictly implemented in the monitoring process. The study used a proprietary electronic data management system for data management， and SAS 9.4 and R software were used for statistical analysis. ResultFrom May 2018 to July 2020， the study completed the safety monitoring of 3 033 patients taking Shujin Jianyao pills in 30 clinical departments of 25 hospitals in China. A total of 36 ADR cases （49 times） were confirmed by expert assessment on data and supervision quality and expert interpretation of ADR. ConclusionAccording to the World Health Organization （WHO）， the symptoms of adverse reactions were mainly classified into occasional adverse reactions （0.1%≤ADR<1%： abdominal distension， oral ulcer， dry mouth， constipation） and rare adverse reactions （0.01%≤ADR<0.1%： loss of appetite， rash， fatigue， increased ALT， increased creatinine， dizziness， stomachache， stomach distension， liver discomfort， pruritus， dysphoria， acid regurgitation， numbness in mouth， abdominal pain， sore throat， earache， tinnitus）. Moreover， through the synthetic minority oversampling technique （SOMTE） combined with logistic regression， the following factors might affect ADR： taking Shujin Jianyao pills for 1-14 days， aged 46-65， 66-80 and 81 and above as well as combined use of atorvastatin， cobamamide， calcitriol capsules， Gushukang capsules， glucosamine， nifedipine， methylcobalamin， metformin， Tenghuang Jiangu pills， Bugu tablets， and diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets. This study provided a real world basis for the safety and standardized use of Shujin Jianyao pills in clinical practice.

Intensive hospital monitoring of Shuxuening injection in 30 209 cases / 中国中药杂志

In order to obtain the characteristics and incidence of adverse reactions of Shuxuening injection (Xingxue), the design method of a multi-center, large sample intensive monitoring in the hospitals was adopted. The hospitalized patients with use of Shuxuening injection from 27 medical institutions were enrolled as the research subjects to monitor their entire process of treatment cycle. The main content of monitoring included the patients' general information, diagnostic information, medication information, and adverse event information. A total of 30 209 patients with Shuxuening injection were enrolled; adverse reactions occurred in 34 cases, with an incidence of 0.113%, which belonged to the rare adverse reactions. Adverse reactions were characterized by headache, dizziness, pruritus, palpitations, nausea, et al. All the above results showed that Xingxue Shuxuening injection had high safety in clinical application.

Core elements of safety monitoring report of medicines(Chinese patent medicines) / 中国中药杂志

Studies on post-marketing drug surveillance have become increasingly important in recent years. In particular, many researchers for traditional Chinese medicine have paid more attention to the safety of post-marketing Chinese patent medicines. Observational studies, like cohort study, registry study, and intensive hospital monitoring, were conducted to collect data on safety information. How to accurately report and assess these studies and let readers to completely understand relevant published reports and obtain transparent information about its methodology and findings remain unsolved. According to the reporting guidelines made by EQUATOR, our research team drafted a framework based on a four-year study by reference to relevant rules, guidelines and standards all over the world in the field of drug safety evaluation. Besides, we consulted relevant experts in this field and formed a framework on how to report post-marketing safety studies of Chinese patent medicines. There were seven core components, namely drug, population, setting, design, quality, adverse reaction and statistics, which could be abbreviated to DPSDQAS. We introduced the framework here to provide reference for future researchers.

Protocol of intensive hospital monitoring with long follow up and large sample: Diemailing Kudiezi injection as example / 中国中药杂志

This is a protocol of intensive hospital monitoring with long follow up and large sample of Diemailing Kudiezi injection, which aims to identify adverse drug reactions(ADRs) of Diemailing Kudiezi injection, including known incidence of adverse reactions, the incidence of new adverse reactions, the incidence of various ADR symptoms and the incidence of ADR among the sub populations; clarify the clinical features of ADRs of Diemailing Kudiezi injection; explore risk factors for ADRs; and analyze their usage in real world. After all, no existing experience about active surveillance on safety issues for postmarkeing traditional Chinese medicine injections could be used for us to learn. On the basis of references to related domestic policies and regulations as well as the design points for observational studies, we extensively solicited opinions from experts in the industry to develop this implementation protocol on monitoring research.

32 546 intensive hospital monitoring cases of Shuxuetong injection / 中国中药杂志

This study adopted multi-center and large sample design to understand the incidence, characteristics and other information about adverse reaction of Shuxuetong injection. In 54 medical institutions, use of Shuxuetong injection of entire treatment period was monitored, including patients' general information, diagnostic information, medication, adverse reaction/event information, etc. Sixty four cases of adverse reactions in 32 546 patients was monitored, adverse rate was 0.197%, mainly characterized by skin itching, rash, flu-like, dyspnea, palpitations, headache, chest tightness and other allergic reactions. Adverse reaction occurred mainly in elderly patients and medication was consistent with the instruction. Based on these results, safety of Shuxuetong injection in clinical application is excellent.
