| アブストラクト | Background/Objectives: Vedolizumab is a gut-selective anti-integrin monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While clinical trials have demonstrated a favorable safety profile, real-world studies are essential for identifying rare adverse events (AEs) and evaluating post-marketing safety. This study assessed vedolizumab's safety in a real-world cohort and supported the detection of potential safety signals. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on adult IBD patients treated with vedolizumab at a tertiary center in the Republic of Serbia between October 2021 and August 2022. Data included demographics, AEs, and newly reported extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). Exposure-adjusted incidence rates were calculated per 100 patient-years (PYs). Disproportionality analysis using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was performed to identify safety signals, employing reporting odds ratios (RORs) and proportional reporting ratios (PRRs) for AEs also observed in the cohort. Prior IBD therapies and reasons for discontinuation were evaluated. Results: A total of 107 patients (42.1% Crohn's disease, 57.9% ulcerative colitis) were included, with a median vedolizumab exposure of 605 days. There were 92 AEs (56.51/100 PYs), most frequently infections (23.95/100 PYs), gastrointestinal disorders (4.30/100 PYs), and skin disorders (4.30/100 PYs). The most frequently reported preferred terms (PTs) included COVID-19, COVID-19 pneumonia, nephrolithiasis, and nasopharyngitis. Arthralgia (12.90/100 PYs) was the most frequent newly reported EIM. No discontinuations due to vedolizumab AEs occurred. FAERS analysis revealed potential signals for events not listed in prescribing information but observed in the cohort: nephrolithiasis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, malaise, cholangitis, gastrointestinal infection, blood pressure decreased, weight decreased, female genital tract fistula, respiratory symptom, and appendicectomy. Most patients had received three prior therapies, often stopping one due to AEs. Conclusions: Vedolizumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the IBD cohort. However, FAERS-identified signals, such as nephrolithiasis, gastrointestinal infections, and decreased blood pressure, warrant further investigation in larger, more diverse populations. |
