| アブストラクト | PURPOSE: The primary aim of this study was to closely monitor and identify adverse events (AEs) linked to lenvatinib, a pharmacotherapeutic agent employed for the management of renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The ultimate goal was to optimize patient safety and provide evidence-based guidance for the appropriate utilization of this medication. METHODS: A comprehensive collection and analysis of reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database was conducted, encompassing the period from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2023. Disproportionality analysis, employing robust algorithms including ROR, PRR, BCPNN, and EBGM was employed for effective data mining to quantify signals associated with lenvatinib-related AEs. RESULTS: Among the collected reports, a total of 15,193 cases were identified where lenvatinib was the "primary suspected (PS)" drug, resulting in 50,508 lenvatinib-induced AEs. An analysis was conducted to examine the occurrence of lenvatinib-induced adverse drug reactions (ADRs) across 26 organ systems. The findings revealed the presence of expected ADRs, including diarrhea, vomiting, stomatitis, hepatic encephalopathy, decreased appetite, dehydration, decreased weight, and electrolyte imbalances, which were consistent with the information provided in the drug labels. Furthermore, unexpected significant ADRs were observed at the preferred terms (PT) level, such as interstitial lung disease, pneumothorax, hypophysitis, failure to thrive, polycythemia, hypopituitarism, spontaneous pneumothorax, pulmonary cavitation, and limbic encephalitis. These findings indicated the potential occurrence of adverse effects that are currently not documented in the drug instructions. CONCLUSIONS: This study has successfully detected novel and unforeseen signals pertaining to ADRs associated with the administration of lenvatinib, thereby contributing significant insights into the intricate correlation between ADRs and the utilization of lenvatinib. The outcomes of this investigation underscore the utmost significance of continuous monitoring and vigilant surveillance in order to promptly identify and effectively manage AEs, consequently enhancing overall patient safety and well-being in the context of lenvatinib therapy. |
