Safety and hematological toxicities of PARP inhibitors in patients with cancer: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials and a pharmacovigilance analysis.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to estimate the toxicities of PARP inhibitors (PARPis), based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS: Four electronic databases were searched from inception to 16 April 2024, for RCTs of approved PARPis. The primary and secondary outcomes were grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) and grade 3-5 hematological AE, respectively. We conducted network meta-analyses to calculate the relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of outcomes. A disproportionality analysis was conducted to estimate the signals of hematological AEs associated with PARPis from the FAERS database. RESULTS: Overall, 27 RCTs involving 11,067 patients with cancer were included. Olaparib had the best safety profile for any grade 3-5 AEs and hematological AEs among four approved PARPis. Olaparib did not increase the risk of thrombocytopenia (RR: 1.48; 95%CI: 0.64-3.39), but other PARPis did. Furthermore 14,780 hematological AE reports associated with PARPis were identified in the FAERS database, and all PARPis were associated with strong hematological AE signals. Hematological AEs mainly occurred within the first 3 months (80.84%) after PARPi initiation. CONCLUSION: Olaparib had the best safety profile among five PARPis. PARPi-associated hematological AEs mainly occurred within the first 3 months. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42022385274).

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy has become a standard-of-care for several hematological and a promising treatment for solid malignancies or for selected non-malignant autoimmune disorders. Hematological complications following this treatment are very common with the majority of patients experiencing at least one cytopenia after CAR-T cell injections. The management of these adverse events is not standardized and represents an area of active research and unmet clinical needs. This harmonization workshop, gathering a group of experts who analyzed this topic, has been conceived for the optimization of the management of patients presenting with post-CAR-T cell hematological toxicities. Based on the data present in the literature, these practical recommendations were made to harmonize the practices of Francophone centers involved in the management of these patients.

Real-World Study on Hematological Toxicities of Cyclin-dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitors Based on FAERS Database / 医药导报

Objective To evaluate adverse events(AEs)of hematological toxicities in cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6(CDK4/6)inhibitors based on the FDA adverse event reporting system(FAERS)database,and to provide a reference for rational drug use in the clinic.Methods A total of 29 quarterly AEs were extracted from the FAERS database from January 2015 to March 2022.Reported odds ratio(ROR)and proportional reported ratio(PRR)were used for data mining of CDK4/6 inhibitor AEs.Results A total of 7 872 AEs related to CDK4/6 inhibitors were reported,and the proportion of hematological AEs of each inhibitor was palbociclib(80.31%),ribociclib(15.36%),and abemaciclib(4.33%).Neutropenia and anemia were common in hematological toxicities.Palbociclib(2 982/6 322,47.17%)and ribociclib(613/1 209,50.70%)caused more neutropenia than abemaciclib(117/341,34.31%).Hematological toxicities mainly occurred 60 days after drug initiation(1 630,61.86%).Palbociclib had the longest median onset time,and 32.9%of patients still had hematological toxicities after 90 days of treatment.The clinical features and intensity were different among CDK4/6 inhibitors.Conclusions Palbociclib,abemaciclib,and ribociclib all cause significant hematological toxicities,among which abemaciclib has fewest reports of hematological toxicities.Still,the risk of death after anemia caused by abemaciclib should be noted.Complete blood cell count should be closely monitored within the first two months after treatment to monitor the patient's neutrophils and hemoglobin.The occurrence of hematological AEs associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors should be noted in the clinic.
