アブストラクト | Anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have become first-line therapies for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with ALK rearrangements. This study investigates ALK-TKI-associated adverse events (AEs), focusing on identifying hepatotoxicity signals and previously undocumented safety concerns. Using disproportionality analysis of 56,864 reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, we systematically classified AEs via the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). At the System Organ Class (SOC) level, crizotinib exhibited a significantly stronger signal for eye disorders, ceritinib was uniquely linked to gastrointestinal disorders, and loratinib was predominantly associated with metabolism and nutrition disorders. Several AEs previously undocumented in drug labels were identified, including pericardial effusion, elevated C-reactive protein, hemolytic anemia, hemoptysis, and decreased hemoglobin. Furthermore, crizotinib, ceritinib, and alectinib were significantly associated with hepatotoxicity, marked by elevated alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and hepatic enzyme levels. These findings highlight the need for vigilant monitoring of unlabeled AEs and potential label updates, particularly for hepatotoxicity risks associated with crizotinib, ceritinib, and alectinib. |
