Abstract
Background and objectives: Based on the Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data from the US FDA, this study mined the adverse drug reactions of obeticholic acid (OCA) in the real world and provided reference for clinical safe drug use.
Methods: Adverse event reports for OCA from the second quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2023 were extracted. The analysis for adverse reaction signal detection was conducted using reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, Bayesian confidence propagation neural network, and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker methods.
Results: A total of 5661 OCA-related adverse event reports were collected, and 105 OCA-related adverse reaction signals were obtained, involving 14 systems, among which 46 new signals were not previously mentioned in the product labeling. Severe adverse event of OCA accounted for a relatively high proportion (1445 cases, 25.53%), among which the number of hospitalization reports was the largest (1042 cases, 18.41%). The top five adverse events were pruritus, fatigue, constipation, elevated blood alkaline phosphatase, and abdominal distention. The top five adverse reaction signals intensity were abnormal blood alkaline phosphatase, abnormal ratio of albumin globulin, spider nevus, combined with abnormal bilirubin, and γ-abnormal glutamyl transferase.
Discussion: Based on the pharmacovigilance study of the FAERS database, it is necessary to strengthen the clinical medication monitoring of OCA, so as to provide reference for effective pharmaceutical monitoring and rational clinical medication.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety is to provide an international forum for the communication and evaluation of data, methods and opinion in the discipline of pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed reports of original research, invited reviews and a variety of guest editorials and commentaries embracing scientific, medical, statistical, legal and economic aspects of pharmacoepidemiology and post-marketing surveillance of drug safety. Appropriate material in these categories may also be considered for publication as a Brief Report.
Particular areas of interest include:
design, analysis, results, and interpretation of studies looking at the benefit or safety of specific pharmaceuticals, biologics, or medical devices, including studies in pharmacovigilance, postmarketing surveillance, pharmacoeconomics, patient safety, molecular pharmacoepidemiology, or any other study within the broad field of pharmacoepidemiology;
comparative effectiveness research relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices. Comparative effectiveness research is the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of alternative methods to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor a clinical condition, as these methods are truly used in the real world;
methodologic contributions of relevance to pharmacoepidemiology, whether original contributions, reviews of existing methods, or tutorials for how to apply the methods of pharmacoepidemiology;
assessments of harm versus benefit in drug therapy;
patterns of drug utilization;
relationships between pharmacoepidemiology and the formulation and interpretation of regulatory guidelines;
evaluations of risk management plans and programmes relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices.
