AbstractThis current investigation was aimed to generate signals for adverse events (AEs) of darunavir-containing agents by data mining using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). All AE reports for darunavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or darunavir/cobicistat between July 2006 and December 2019 were identified. The reporting Odds Ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) were used to detect the risk signals. A suspicious signal was generated only if the results of the three algorithms were all positive. A total of 10,756 reports were identified commonly observed in hepatobiliary, endocrine, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, metabolic, and nutrition system. 40 suspicious signals were generated, and therein 20 signals were not included in the label. Severe high signals (i.e. progressive extraocular muscle paralysis, acute pancreatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, acquired lipodystrophy and mitochondrial toxicity) were identified. In pregnant women, umbilical cord abnormality, fetal growth restriction, low birth weight, stillbirth, premature rupture of membranes, premature birth and spontaneous abortion showed positive signals. Darunavir and its boosted agents induced AEs in various organs/tissues, and were shown to be possibly associated with multiple adverse pregnant conditions. This study highlighted some novel and severe AEs of darunavir which need to be monitored prospectively.

The Us

Background: Cardiovascular safety concerns for major cardiovascular events (MACE) were raised during the clinical trials of romosozumab. We aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular safety profile of romosozumab in a large pharmacovigilance database. Methods: All cases reported between January 2019 and December 2020 where romosozumab was reported were extracted from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). The outcome of interest was MACE (myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or cardiovascular death). A disproportionality analysis was conducted by estimating the reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95% confidence intervals. Disproportionality analyses were stratified by sex and reporting region (US, Japan, other). Results: Of the 1995 eligible cases with romosozumab, the majority (N = 1188; 59.5%) originated from Japan. Overall, 206 suspected MACE reports were identified, of which the majority (n = 164; 13.8%) were from Japan, and 41 (5.2%) were from the United States (US). Among Japanese reports, patients were older and more frequently male than reports from the US. Similarly, cases with a reported MACE were older and had higher reports of cardioprotective drugs than those without cardiovascular events. Elevated reports for MACE (ROR 4.07, 95% CI: 2.39–6.93) was identified overall, which was primarily driven by the significant disproportionality measures in the Japanese reports. Conclusions: The current pharmacovigilance study identified a potential signal for elevated MACE, particularly in Japan. The results support the current safety warnings from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to avoid use in high-risk patients.

We aimed to investigate the incidence of sugammadex-induced anaphylaxis in a large Korean population. We retrospectively investigated the incidence of sugammadex-induced anaphylaxis between 2013 and 2019 from the database of the Korea Institute of Drug Safety-Risk Management-Korea Adverse Event Reporting System (KIDS-KAERS). We estimated the incidence of sugammadex-induced anaphylaxis from the KIDS-KAERS database, assuming that the reporting efficiency was 10%, 50%, and 100%, respectively. We also investigated its annual sales volume in Korea and assumed that the exposure to sugammadex was 95% of the estimated sales volume. During the study period, 1,401,630 sugammadex vials were sold, and 19 cases of sugammadex-induced anaphylaxis were identified in the KIDS-KAERS database. The estimated incidence of sugammadex-induced anaphylaxis was 0.0143%, 0.00279%, and 0.0014%, assuming a reporting efficiency of 10%, 50%, and 100%, respectively. All patients, except for one with a missing record, fully recovered after anaphylaxis. The incidence of sugammadex-induced anaphylaxis identified in the national pharmacovigilance database was lower than previously reported rates in other countries. Therefore, its use in general anesthesia should not be hindered by concerns about the resulting risk of anaphylaxis in Korea.
