Abstract This current investigation was aimed to generate signals for adverse drug events of darunavir-containing agents by data mining using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). All adverse event (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), 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 10756 AE reports were identified commonly observed in cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, 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 associated with multiple adverse pregnancy conditions. This study highlighted some novel and severe AEs of darunavir which need to be monitored prospectively.

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.

BACKGROUND In the emergency situation of COVID-19, off-label therapies and newly developed vaccines may bring the patients adverse drug event (ADE) risks. Data mining based on spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) is a promising and efficient way to detect potential ADEs so as to help health professionals and patients get rid of these risks. OBJECTIVE This pharmacovigilance study aimed to investigate the ADEs of “Hot Drugs” in COVID-19 prevention and treatment based on the data of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adverse event reporting system (FAERS). METHODS FAERS ADE reports associated with COVID-19 from the 2nd quarter of 2020 to the 2nd quarter of 2021 were retrieved with “Hot Drugs” and frequent ADEs recognized. A combination of support, proportional reporting ratio (PRR) and Chi-square (2) test was applied to detect significant “Hot Drug” & ADE signals by Python programming language on Jupyter notebook. RESULTS 13,178 COVID-19 cases were retrieved with 18 “Hot Drugs” and 312 frequent ADEs on “Preferred Term” (PT) level. 18  312 = 5,616 “Drug & ADE” candidates were formed for further data mining. The algorithm finally produced 219 significant ADE signals associated with 17 “Hot Drugs”and 124 ADEs.Some unexpected ADE signals were observed for chloroquine, ritonavir, tocilizumab, Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine and Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. CONCLUSIONS Data mining is a promising and efficient way to assist pharmacovigilance work and the result of this paper could help timely recognize ADEs in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Several studies have suggested the risk of thrombocytopenia with tedizolid, a second-in-class oxazolidinone antibiotic (approved June 2014), is less than that observed with linezolid (first-in-class oxazolidinone). Using data from the Food and Drug Administration adverse event reporting system (July 2014 through December 2016), we observed significantly increased risks of thrombocytopenia of similar magnitudes with both antibiotics: linezolid reporting odds ratio [ROR], 37.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 20.78 to 69.17); tedizolid ROR, 34.0 (95% CI, 4.67 to 247.30).

Background: Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are assumed to have little abuse potential. However, reports of quetiapine abuse have emerged as prescribing has increased in recent years. The US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) provides postmarketing information regarding adverse drug events (ADEs). This is the first study to analyze quetiapine abuse-related ADEs reported to FAERS to determine whether a disproportionate rate of such events have been reported when compared with other commonly used SGAs. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of FAERS data from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017, was performed. The total number of all-cause and abuse-related ADEs reported to FAERS regarding quetiapine, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and risperidone were identified, along with demographic and mortality data. The proportional reporting ratio (PRR) was calculated to assess disproportionate reporting of abuse-related adverse drug reactions between quetiapine and each of three alternative SGA medications. Results: Abuse-related ADEs represented 11% (3144/27 962) of total ADEs reported for quetiapine, 8% for olanzapine (1548/19 228), 5% (1380/29 699) for aripiprazole, and 3% (1168/45 518) for risperidone. The PRRs (95% confidence interval) for quetiapine versus olanzapine, aripiprazole, and risperidone were 1.40 (1.32-1.48), 2.42 (2.28-2.57), and 4.38 (4.10-4.68), respectively, indicating that abuse-related events were significantly more likely to be reported with quetiapine than each comparator drug. In addition, more deaths were reported among the abuse-related events regarding quetiapine (673) than olanzapine (200), aripiprazole (88), and risperidone (143). Conclusion: This study corroborates recent evidence indicating that quetiapine might possess a significantly higher abuse potential than other commonly used SGAs. Although prospective studies are needed to better understand the abuse potential of quetiapine, increased vigilance in monitoring for signs of substance abuse might be warranted when prescribing quetiapine.

Background: Rituximab and ocrelizumab are anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies that have shown a marked reduction in multiple sclerosis (MS) inflammatory activity. However, their real-world safety profile has not been adequately compared. Objective: To investigate the adverse event (AE) profile of rituximab and ocrelizumab reported to the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods: The FAERS database was filtered by indication (MS) and drug (rituximab or ocrelizumab). Disproportionality analyses including but not limited to reporting odds ratio (ROR) were conducted to identify drug–AE associations. A signal was detected if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of ROR (ROR025) exceeded 1. Results: There were 623 and 7948 reports for rituximab and ocrelizumab, respectively. The most frequent AEs with rituximab and ocrelizumab were infusion-related reaction (4.82%) and urinary tract infection (10.52%), respectively. The strongest drug–AE association for rituximab and ocrelizumab were ear pruritus (ROR025: 47.53) and oral herpes (ROR025: 38.99), respectively. Ocrelizumab was associated with an almost two times higher frequency of infections than rituximab (21.93% vs 11.05%, respectively). Conclusion: This study revealed differences in reporting AEs between rituximab and ocrelizumab. Infections were reported more frequently with ocrelizumab. Although speculative, a potentially different or more extensive B-cell depletion by ocrelizumab might explain these findings. Additional pharmacovigilance studies need to be performed to better characterize differences in the AE profile in B-cell-depleting therapies.

Abstract BackgroundSacubitril/valsartan was approved in Japan recently. Sacubitril is an inhibitor of organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and 1B3. In Japan, sacubitril/valsartan product labeling indicates that it should be cautiously co-administered with atorvastatin due to drug-drug interactions (DDIs). However, all statins are the substrates of OATP1B1 and/or 1B3. Therefore, we should be cautious about DDIs between sacubitril/valsartan and all other statins.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between rhabdomyolysis and concomitant association of sacubitril/valsartan with atorvastatin and all other statins.MethodsCase reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from 2015 to Q4/2020 were used. All FAERS reports on sacubitril/valsartan were captured through a structured analysis. We compared the proportion of cases reporting the adverse events associated with rhabdomyolysis and the concomitant use of sacubitril/valsartan and atorvastatin to those with sacubitril/valsartan and all other statins.ResultsAmong 10,940 case reports on sacubitril/valsartan, compared with all other drugs, statin users were associated with increased rhabdomyolysis (reporting odds ratio =4.54[2.62-7.87]). However, compared with all other statins, atorvastatin was not associated with increased rhabdomyolysis. ConclusionsWe suggest that the co-administration of sacubitril/valsartan with atorvastatin as well as other statins should be carefully managed as it may induce rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were widely used around the world. Studies suggested conflicting results between PPIs treatment and the risk of dementia. This study examined the association between six PPIs and dementia risk by mining the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2019. We employed reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) to detect the signals of dementia relevant to PPIs. We also analyzed characteristics of PPI reports, compared dementia events between short- and long- duration PPIs treatment. Finally, we identified 2104 dementia cases with PPIs treatment. We did not detect significant signals between PPIs and dementia, ROR = 0.99, 95%CI 0.94–1.03, PRR = 0.99, 95%CI 0.95–1.03, even in gastroesophageal reflux disease cases ROR = 0.65, 95%CI 0.58–0.73, PRR = 0.67, 95%CI 0.60–0.74. No significant differences of dementia events were detected between short- and long- duration groups, the OR (95%CI) of the 6 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years comparison were 0.85 (0.68–1.06), 0.92 (0.71–1.18), 0.81 (0.57–1.15) and 0.79 (0.52–1.22), respectively. Based on the current FAERS data mining, we discovered no association between PPIs use and the risk of dementia.

Objective: We conducted signal detection of adverse drug events reported in Health Canada adverse event reporting system database “MedEffect” for azithromycin, a macrolide derivative and the first azalide antimicrobial agent to review the cardiac disorders adverse drug events (ADEs) in pediatric population with the drug labels of selected countries including India, USA, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand.Methods: We extracted data between January 1965 and June 2016 from the Canada adverse event reporting system database “MedEffect”. Frequentist and Bayesian methods were used to calculate disproportionality distribution of drug-adverse event (AE) pairs. The AE which was detected by all the three indices of proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), and information component (IC) was identified as a potential signal. AE reports for azithromycin, among which 3651 reports were attributed to paediatrics.Results: The signal detected by PRR and ROR for tachycardia associated with azithromycin were found to be 1.3 and for cardiovascular disorder were 1.2. The IC for azithromycin by a Bayesian method was 0.3 for both, tachycardia and cardiovascular disorder. Both AEs of cardiovascular disorder and tachycardia were detected as potential signals of azithromycin for the paediatric population. Comparing drug labels of 7 countries in paediatric population, both adverse events were not listed on any of the labels of seven countries against the pediatric population.Conclusion: We detected 2 new potential signals of azithromycin which were not listed on the labels of 7 countries. Therefore, it should be accompanied by a signal evaluation including causal association, clinical significance, and preventability.
