Perfil de seguridad de nirmatrelvir-ritonavir: evidencia de eventos adversos por interacciones farmacológicas / Safety profile of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir: Evidence of adverse events due to drug-drug interactions

Objetivo: evaluar el perfil de seguridad de nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NMV-r) en la práctica clínica real y analizar la relevancia clínica de las interacciones farmacológicas en el desarrollo de eventos adversos. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, retrospectivo en el que se evaluaron los datos de seguridad de pacientes tratados con NMV-r entre abril y julio de 2022. Se recopilaron datos demográficos y analíticos antes de comenzar el tratamiento. La duración del seguimiento fue de 28 días y se evaluó el número reacciones adversas reportadas, así como si fueron manejadas de forma ambulatoria o precisaron de asistencia sanitaria especializada y la presencia de deterioro de la función renal y hepática. Se revisó el tratamiento concomitante, identificando interacciones farmacológicas teóricas (IFT) cuya gravedad fue definida mediante la clasificación Lexi-interact. Resultados: el estudio incluyó 146 pacientes, 82 (56,16 %) eran mujeres, cuya mediana de edad fue de 65 años (22-95). El número de IFT detectadas y mantenidas durante el tratamiento con NMV-r fue de 164, siendo el porcentaje de pacientes con al menos una interacción de 62,33%. La mediana de IFT por paciente fue de uno (0-5). En 18 pacientes (11,84%) se reportó al menos un evento adverso (EA). Once EA se relacionaron potencialmente con alguna IFT, 7 pacientes requirieron contacto con asistencia hospitalaria para el manejo del EA, 8 pacientes presentaron deterioro de la función renal y 2 de la función hepática a los 28 días. Los principales grupos de fármacos implicados en la aparición de algún EA fueron los anticoagulantes orales, así como los calcio-antagonistas. Conclusiones: nuestros resultados muestran un elevado número de IFT detectadas entre NMV-r y otros fármacos, aunque la frecuencia de EA asociados fue baja. Este estudio proporciona un mayor conocimiento de los fármacos implicados en dichas interacciones y su potencial relación con la aparición de EA.(AU)

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety profile of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NMV-r) in real clinical practice and to analyze the clinical relevance of drug-drug interactions in the development of adverse events. Methods: Observational, retrospective study in which safety data of patients treated with NMV-r between April and July 2022 in an outpatient setting were evaluated. The duration of follow-up was 28 days and the number of adverse reactions reported, as well as whether they were managed on an outpatient basis or required health care, and the presence of renal and hepatic function impairment were assessed. Concomitant treatment was reviewed, identifying theoretical drug-drug interactions (TDDIs) whose severity was defined using the Lexi-interact classification. Results: The study included 146 patients, 82 (56,16%) were women, whose median age was 65 years (22-95). The number of TDDIs detected and maintained during treatment with NMV-r was 164, with the percentage of patients with at least one interaction being 62,33%. The median number of TDDIs per patient was 1 (0-5). At least 1 adverse event (AE) was reported in 18 patients (11,84%). Eleven AEs were potentially related to any TDDI. Seven patients required contact with hospital assistance for AE management. Eight patients had impaired renal function and 2 had impaired liver function at 28 days. The main groups of drugs implicated in the occurrence of an AE were oral anticoagulants and calcium antagonists. Conclusions: Our results show a high number of TDDIs detected were detected between NMV-r and other drugs. This study provides greater knowledge of the drugs involved in such interactions and their potential relationship with the occurrence of adverse events.(AU)
