| アブストラクト | PURPOSE: Randomized controlled trials with tirzepatide (TZP) displayed unprecedented glucose and body weight lowering efficacy in individuals with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity and a safety profile similar to that of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), mainly characterized by gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AE). Concerns on diabetic retinopathy, pancreato-biliary disorders, and medullary thyroid cancer were also addressed. We aimed to investigate whether the same safety issues emerged from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) post-marketing surveillance database. METHODS: OpenVigil 2.1-MedDRA-v24 and AERSMine (data 2004Q1-2023Q3) were used to query the FAERS database. Reports of GI AE, diabetic retinopathy, pancreato-biliary disorders, and medullary thyroid cancer were investigated. The analysis was then filtered for age, gender, and designation as primary suspect. AE occurrence with TZP was compared to insulin, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, metformin, and GLP-1RA. RESULTS: Disproportionate reporting of GI [i.e., nausea (ROR 4.01, 95% CI 3.85-4.19)] and pancreato-biliary disorders [i.e., pancreatitis (ROR 3.63, 95% CI 3.15-4.19)], diabetic retinopathy (ROR 4.14, 95% CI 2.34-7.30), and medullary thyroid cancer (ROR 13.67, 95% CI 4.35-42.96) was detected. TZP exhibited a similar risk of GI AE and medullary thyroid cancer and a lower risk of most pancreato-biliary AE and diabetic retinopathy vs. GLP-1RA. CONCLUSIONS: TZP was associated with an increased risk of specific AE. However, its safety profile was similar to that of GLP-1RA, without increased risk of pancreato-biliary AE, diabetic retinopathy, and medullary thyroid cancer. |
