Safety Profile of Ibrutinib: An Analysis of the WHO Pharmacovigilance Database
As ibrutinib has become a standard of care in B-cell malignancies in monotherapy or in combination with other agents, definition of its safety profile appears essential. The aim of this study was to further characterize the safety profile of ibrutinib through the identification of potential safety signals in a large-scale pharmacovigilance database. All serious individual case safety reports (ICSRs) in patients aged >/=18 years involving ibrutinib suspected in the occurrence of serious adverse drug reactions or drug interacting from November 13th, 2013 to December 31st, 2020 were extracted from VigiBase, the World Health Organization global safety database. Disproportionality reporting was assessed using the information component (IC) and the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), with all other anticancer drugs used as the reference group. To mitigate the confounding of age, two subgroups were considered: patients aged/=75 years. A signal of disproportionate reporting (SDR) was defined if both IC and PRR were significant. A total of 16,196 ICSRs were included. The median age of patients was 72.9 years, 42.6% of ICSRs concerned patients aged >/=75 years, and 64.2% male patients. More than half (56.2%) of ICSRs resulted in hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization. Among 713 SDRs, 36 potential safety signals emerged in ibrutinib-treated patients, mainly ischemic heart diseases, pericarditis, uveitis, retinal disorders and fractures. All potential safety signals having arisen in this analysis may support patient care and monitoring of ongoing clinical trials. However, owing to the mandatory limitations of this study, our results need further confirmation using population-based studies
Fundam Clin Pharmacol
BACKGROUND: Due to its psychoactive effects, ketamine has become a drug used for non-medical purpose. OBJECTIVES: To assess the latest trends in ketamine use among people with substance use disorder and to characterize its clinical complications using complementary health data sources of the French Addictovigilance Network. METHODS: First, we extracted all reports involving ketamine from 2012 to 2021 from the database of the OPPIDUM program (i.e., a multicentric program conducted in collaboration with hundreds of substance abuse treatment facilities that collects data on drugs used by subjects with substance use disorders). We described the reports globally and the changes from 2012 to 2021. Second, we extracted all cases involving ketamine from July 2020 to December 2022 from the French National Pharmacovigilance Database (BNPV). We identified the cases related to ketamine use among people with substance use disorder and described them. RESULTS: There was a 2.5-fold increase in the number of ketamine users with substance use disorder in the OPPIDUM program, from 35 (0.7%) subjects in 2012 to 89 (1.7%) subjects in 2021. There was an increase in the proportion of subjects who were daily users, had distress upon discontinuation, and presented addiction. There were 238 cases related to ketamine use among people with substance use disorder in the French National Pharmacovigilance Database from July 2020 to December 2022. Among them, 94 (39.5%) cases involved ketamine use disorder, 20 (8.4%) cases involved urinary tract and kidney symptoms, and 13 (5.5%) cases involved hepatobiliary symptoms. CONCLUSION: The trend observed over 10Â years reflects the growth in ketamine use among people with substance use disorder, although it does not allow to estimate the rates of non-medical use of ketamine in the general population. Ketamine-induced uropathy and cholangiopathy are reported in ketamine users with substance use disorder, especially in case of repeated and/or prolonged use of high doses
