| アブストラクト | The clinical use of nivolumab has significantly improved the prognosis for survival in patients with a wide range of advanced malignancies. Given the increased incidence of tumors, there is a need to gain insight into the true extent of adverse events (AEs) associated with the nivolumab drug in the middle-aged and elderly population. This pharmacovigilance study was based on an analysis of reports from the US Food and Drug Administration's adverse event reporting system for the period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2024, and compared AEs of the drug nivolumab in the middle-aged and elderly populations using proportional reporting ratio, reporting odds ratio, BCPN, and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker methods. The analyses showed the presence of AEs in a variety of systems, mainly involving several systems such as endocrine disorders, nervous system disorders, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders. The immune-related AEs listed in the package insert were validated by us and their clinical significance warrants careful consideration to further guide clinical dosing, adjust therapeutic decision-making, and develop age-adapted dosing algorithms for population pharmacokinetic development in order to minimize potential risks to patients. With the exception of reports of an unspecified nature, a greater proportion of the sample was male (65.7%) than female (32.5%), indicating significant variations. The highest percentage of reports was observed in patients aged between 65 and 85 years and in patients with a body mass index ranging from 50 to 100 kg/m2. The primary indication was non-small cell lung cancer. The top 3 AE signals reported with nivolumab were malignant neoplasm progression, death, and pyrexia, with the majority of AE cases occurring within the first month following nivolumab initiation. |
