アブストラクト | With its increasing use in the treatment of thrombocytopenia, avatrombopag's associated adverse events (AEs) pose a major challenge to its clinical application. This study aims to comprehensively study AEs associated with avatrombopag by using real-world evidence. We curated AE reports for avatrombopag from the first quarter of 2018 to the fourth quarter of 2023 in the US Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. AEs were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities of Preferred Terms and System Organ Classes. The reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, Bayesian confidence propagation neural network, and multi-item Gamma-Poisson Shrinker were used to investigate the relationship between avatrombopag and AE reports. Among 9,060,312 reported cases in the FAERS database, 1211 reports listed avatrombopag as "primary suspected" drug. Disproportionality analysis identified 44 preferred terms across 17 organ systems met the criteria for at least one of the four algorithms. The most commonly reported AEs were platelet count decreased (20.2%), headache (16.7%), platelet count increased (11.9%), platelet count abnormal (6.3%), contusion (2.7%), pulmonary embolism (2.3%), and deep vein thrombosis (2.1%). Unexpected AEs such as seasonal allergy, rhinorrhea, antiphospholipid syndrome, ear discomfort, and photopsia were also observed. Excluding the other serious outcomes, hospitalization (34.6%) was the most frequently reported serious outcome, followed by death (15.4%). Most reported AEs occurred within the first 2 days of initiating avatrombopag therapy, and the median onset time was 60 days. We identified new and unexpected AEs with clinical use of avatrombopag, and our results may provide valuable information for clinical monitoring and identifying risks associated with avatrombopag. |
