RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective study was to demonstrate that irAEs, specifically gastrointestinal and pulmonary, examined through International Classification of Disease (ICD) data leads to underrepresentation of true irAEs and overrepresentation of false irAEs, thereby concluding that ICD claims data are a poor approach to electronic health record (EHR) data mining for irAEs in immunotherapy clinical research. METHODS: This retrospective analysis was conducted in 1,063 cancer patients who received ICIs between 2011 and 2017. We identified irAEs by manual review of medical records to determine the incidence of each of our endpoints, namely colitis, hepatitis, pneumonitis, other irAE, or no irAE. We then performed a secondary analysis utilizing ICD claims data alone using a broad range of symptom and disease-specific ICD codes representative of irAEs. RESULTS: 16% (n = 174/1,063) of the total study population was initially found to have either pneumonitis 3% (n = 37), colitis 7% (n = 81) or hepatitis 5% (n = 56) on manual review. Of these patients, 46% (n = 80/174) did not have ICD code evidence in the EHR reflecting their irAE. Of the total patients not found to have any irAEs during manual review, 61% (n = 459/748) of patients had ICD codes suggestive of possible irAE, yet were not identified as having an irAE during manual review. DISCUSSION: Examining gastrointestinal and pulmonary irAEs through the International Classification of Disease (ICD) data leads to underrepresentation of true irAEs and overrepresentation of false irAEs.

The induction of CYP2C9 by dabrafenib using S-warfarin as a probe and the effects of a CYP3A inhibitor (ketoconazole) and a CYP2C8 inhibitor (gemfibrozil) on dabrafenib pharmacokinetics were evaluated in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive tumors. Dabrafenib single- and repeat-dose pharmacokinetics were also evaluated. S-warfarin AUC(0- ∞) decreased 37% and Cmax increased 18% with dabrafenib. Dabrafenib AUC(0- τ) and C(max) increased 71% and 33%, respectively, with ketoconazole. Hydroxy- and desmethyl-dabrafenib AUC(0-τ) increased 82% and 68%, respectively, and AUC for carboxy-dabrafenib decreased 16%. Dabrafenib AUC(0-τ) increased 47%, with no change in C(max), after gemfibrozil co-administration. Gemfibrozil did not affect systemic exposure to dabrafenib metabolites. Single- and repeat-dose dabrafenib pharmacokinetics were consistent with previous reports. All cohorts used the commercial capsules. More-frequent monitoring of international normalized ratios is recommended in patients receiving warfarin during initiation or discontinuation of dabrafenib. Substitution of strong inhibitors or strong inducers of CYP3A or CYP2C8 is recommended during treatment with dabrafenib.
