Study summary

Although antibody-drug conjugate(ADC) has proved effective in treating many cancers, few patients receiving ADC may experience rare but life-threatening sepsis-related toxicities such as sepsis and septic shock. Today, data about sepsis/septic shock are scarce.

The objective was to investigate reports of sepsis/septic shock adverse events related to ADC, including Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, Trastuzumab Emtansine, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Enfortumab vedotin, Trastuzumab deruxtecan, Sacituzumab govitecan, Brentuximab Vedotin, Moxetumomab pasudotox, Polatuzumab Vedotin, Belantamab Mafodotin, loncastuximab tesirine and Tisotumab vedotin using international pharmacovigilance databases such as the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Read the detailed description

Here, investigators use international pharmacovigilance databases such as the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) of individual safety case reports, to identify cases of sepsis-related toxicities related to ADC.

Study population

Cancer patients treated with antibody-drug conjugate and experiencing sepsis-related toxicities.

Inclusion criteria

Case reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) or other international pharmacovigilance database of individual safety case reports to 12/31/2022 Adverse event reported were included the report with MedDRA terms: Sepsis(SMQ), agranulocytosis(SMQ), Opportunistic infections (SMQ).

Patients treated with ADC included: Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, Trastuzumab Emtansine, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Enfortumab vedotin, Trastuzumab deruxtecan, Sacituzumab govitecan, Brentuximab Vedotin, Moxetumomab pasudotox, Polatuzumab Vedotin, Belantamab Mafodotin, loncastuximab tesirine and Tisotumab vedotin. Other cancer patients received common drug therapies such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy would also be included as a comparator.

Groups and cohorts

  • Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC)

    Sepsis-related toxicities induced by antibody-drug conjugate(ADC). Case reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) of Sepsis-related toxicities of patient treated by ADC, with a chronology compatible with the drug toxicity Intervention: Drug: ADC

    Drug: Antibody-Drug Conjugate

  • Common cancer drug therapies other than ADC

    Sepsis-related toxicities induced by Common cancer drug therapies other than ADC. Case reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) of Sepsis-related toxicities of patient treated by Common cancer drug therapies other than ADC, with a chronology compatible with the drug toxicity Intervention: Drug: Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and so on.

    Drug: Antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents other than Antibody-Drug Conjugate

Interventions

  • DrugAntibody-Drug Conjugate

    Compared the case reporting of sepsis-related toxicities among ADC and other common cancer drug therapies. ADC:including Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, Trastuzumab Emtansine, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Enfortumab vedotin, Trastuzumab deruxtecan, Sacituzumab govitecan, Brentuximab Vedotin, Moxetumomab pasudotox, Polatuzumab Vedotin, Belantamab Mafodotin, loncastuximab tesirine and Tisotumab vedotin.

  • DrugAntineoplastic and immunomodulating agents other than Antibody-Drug Conjugate

    We would like to include other common cancer drug therapies such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and so on as a comparator group.
