アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Four new agents (elotuzumab, ixazomib, panobinostat, and daratumumab) were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015 for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Our objective was to compare the safety profiles of these new medications in real-world settings and their randomized controlled trial(s). MATERIAL AND METHODS: An analysis was conducted of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for each drug consisting of the quarter that the drug received its FDA approval and the eight subsequent quarters. Reporting odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were then calculated for each drug for each of the 10 most frequent adverse drug reactions. The randomized controlled trials that led to initial FDA approval for these medications were subsequently reviewed to assess the 10 most frequently reported adverse drug reactions in these trials. RESULTS: There were only two adverse drug reactions in the top 10 of both FAERS and its randomized controlled trials for elotuzumab (anaemia, diarrhoea) and for daratumumab (cough, back pain), five for ixazomib (diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue, nausea, peripheral neuropathy), and four panobinostat (diarrhoea, fatigue, nausea, constipation). Ixazomib had two adverse drug reactions with a significant reporting odds ratios greater than a 10-fold increased risk (plasma cell myeloma, peripheral neuropathy); elotuzumab had three adverse drug reactions (infusion site reaction, malignant neoplasm progression, deep vein thrombosis); daratumumab had three adverse drug reactions (infusion site reaction, bronchospasm, chills), while panobinostat had four (malignant neoplasm progression, decreased platelet count, diarrhoea, increased blood creatinine). CONCLUSION: This analysis helps to highlight the importance of conducting postmarketing pharmacovigilance studies to better understand the potential adverse reactions of these medications. |
