Pharmacovigilance Assessment of Reporting of Cardiovascular Adverse Events With Antineoplastic Agents (PARCA) (PARCA)

The aim of this observational study is to explore and analyze reports of cardiac or vascular adverse events linked to the administration of antineoplastic agents among patients diagnosed with tumors represented by advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study leverages pharmacovigilance databases such as the World Health Organization (WHO) database (VigiBase), FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), and others to gather individual safety case reports for analysis.

Detailed Description

Concomitant antineoplastic drug therapy may produce serious adverse cardiac or vascular system events. In this study, reports of cardiovascular adverse drug events following treatment with antineoplastic drugs were investigated using the World Health Organization (WHO) personal safety case report database (VigiBase) and FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cardio-vascular toxicity of antineoplastic agents
Time Frame: Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
Identification and report of the cardio-vascular toxicity of antineoplastic agents. The research includes the report with MedDRA terms: SOC Cardiac Disorders, SOC Vascular Disorders, Cardiac and vascular investigations (excl enzyme tests) (HLGT), Skeletal and cardiac muscle analyses (HLT), Sudden death (PT). Drugs investigated are antineoplastic agents.
Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Causality assessment of reported cardiovascular events according to pharmacovigilance databases
Time Frame: Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
Disproportionality individual case data analysis between cardiovascular events and antineoplastic agents.
Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
Assessment of the association between cardiovascular toxicity due to antineoplastic agents and risk factors.
Time Frame: Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
Cardiovascular events are identified using MedDRA terms. Each cardiovascular event and risk factor will be assessed for potential over-reporting by calculating odds ratios. Factors evaluated will include, but are not limited to, cancer type and patient baseline characteristics (gender, age, country of reporting, etc.). Additionally, the year of reporting and other relevant variables will be considered.
Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
Assess cardiovascular toxicity differences among antineoplastic agent classes and within the same class.
Time Frame: Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
The data were classified into different drug classes based on the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system. This included small molecule kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies. The occurrence of major adverse events was identified using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) terminology. The differences in cardiovascular toxicity between drug classes were evaluated using disproportionality analysis (single drug vs. full database). To assess toxicity differences between drugs in the same class, for example, a comparison could be made between the cardiovascular toxicity of drugs such as erlotinib, afatinib, and osimertinib, which all belong to the category of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Disproportionality analyses (single drug vs. other drugs in the same class) were employed in this regard.

Assessment of the severity of cardiovascular toxicity associated with antineoplastic agents
Time Frame: Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
Reports with fatal outcomes will be compared with reports without fatal outcomes. Odds ratio will be calculated to compare covariates that may be associated with an increased risk of death, including type of adverse cardiovascular event, type of cancer reported, age of the patient, gender, comorbidities, and antitumor monotherapy or combination therapy.

Time Frame: Case reported in VigiBase, FAERS and other pharmacovigilance databases of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2024
The analysis includes analyzing the relationship between the duration of treatment and the occurrence of toxicity, taking into account the cumulative dose of the administered medication.
