アブストラクト | Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are approved for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2)-negative, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The cardiovascular toxicity of CDK4/6 inhibitors is not well understood. This study aims to profile the cardiac events associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors. Reports from 2015Q1 to 2024Q1 were obtained from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Reports identifying palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib as the primary suspect were examined for cardiovascular toxicity, including hypertension, cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and myocarditis. Signal detection was performed using the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), and information component (IC). A total of 69,139 reports were analyzed. The median time to adverse events was 69 days (interquartile range [IQR], 18-260 days). Of these, 2065 reports documented cardiac adverse events. Ribociclib and QT prolongation were re-confirmed as a signal (PRR 8.43, ROR 8.65, IC025 2.86). Hypertension and cardiac failure were the most frequently reported cardiovascular toxicities. This study demonstrates that the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors is associated with cardiovascular adverse events, such as heart failure and hypertension. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and risk factors contributing to the cardiovascular toxicity of CDK4/6 inhibitors. |
