Disproportionality analysis of adverse events in advanced lung cancer treated with atezolizumab plus platinum-based combination chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer has a poor prognosis, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus platinum-based combination chemotherapy is the first-line treatment. Atezolizumab, an ICI, has three regimens: atezolizumab + carboplatin (CBDCA) + paclitaxel + bevacizumab [ABCP], atezolizumab + CBDCA + nab-paclitaxel (nab-PTX) [A + CnP], and atezolizumab + CBDCA + pemetrexed [A + CbP]. However, clinical trials directly comparing these regimens have not been reported, and the differences in adverse events have not been fully clarified.

Methods

We calculated the reporting odds ratio (ROR), a measure of adverse drug reaction (ADR) signals, using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to compare the major ADRs of ABCP, A + CnP, and A + CbP regi
