PG - 319-330 LID - 10.1007/s40261-018-0735-0 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)-either as single agents or in combination have become the standard of care for an increasing number of indications. Understanding both the ICI-associated adverse events (AEs) and the possible rank-order of these drugs in terms of susceptibility is essential if we are to improve the curative effect and reduce toxicity. METHODS: We detected signals of the AEs of ICIs by data mining using the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) AEs Reporting System (FAERS) database. The definition relied on the preferred terms (PTs) and the standardized MedDRA Queries (SMQs) provided by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Disproportionality analysis was performed by calculating the reporting odds ratios (ROR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: Adverse effects of CTLA-4 and PD-1 mAbs were most commonly observed in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine systems, liver, and lung, and they included rash, diarrhea, colitis, and thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid dysfunction, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and pneumonitis were more closely associated with the use of anti-PD-1, whereas colitis, diarrhea, hypophysitis, and adrenal insufficiency were more closely associated with anti-CTLA-4; rash and hepatitis occurred similarly in both. Disproportionality signals for less common AEs in other organ systems, including the renal, neurological, cardiac, ocular, musculoskeletal, and hematologic systems, were also detected. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab have very similar safety profiles, but the signal strength of AEs increased when combined with ipilimumab. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study are in agreement with clinical observations, suggesting the usefulness of pharmacovigilance in "real-world" safety monitoring.
