PG - 1407-1417 LID - 10.2217/imt-2021-0068 [doi] AB - Objective: To analyze tumor- and treatment-related factors that might impact the development of certain adverse events (AEs) of potential immune etiology among patients receiving PD-L1 inhibitors. Methods: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was accessed, and AE reports related to the use of PD-L1 inhibitors were reviewed. Associations between treatment, tumor type and occurrence of AEs of special interest were analyzed through multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 80,304 AE reports were included in the current analysis. Diagnosis with lung cancer was associated with a higher probability of pneumonitis; diagnosis with melanoma was associated with a higher probability of hepatitis, hypophysitis/hypopituitarism and uveitis; and diagnosis with genitourinary cancers was associated with a higher probability of nephritis, adrenal insufficiency and myocarditis. Conclusion: Within this cohort limited to AEs reported to the FAERS, there is an association between different AEs of special interest, agent(s) used and tumor(s) treated.

It is suggested that there is a considerable variability in the way different individuals might develop those adverse events, and that the specific immunotherapy used and the specific cancer treated might affect the chance that an individual would develop a certain adverse event as a result of immunotherapy.
