Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrotic interstitial pneumonia, which is characterised by progressive worsening of dyspnoea and lung function. Nintedanib treatment is recommended to slow IPF disease progression. The aim of this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of nintedanib over 24 months in patients with IPF in a real-world setting in Japan.

We investigated future variations in financial toxicity and HRQoL of patients with gynecologic cancer, evaluated using the COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST) questionnaire.
Methods: This multicenter study enrolled patients with gynecologic cancer incurring co-payments for anti-cancer drug treatment for over 2 months.
Introduction: Nintedanib is approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), other forms of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). We present global post-marketing safety data for nintedanib in these fibrosing ILDs.
Methods: Data on adverse events in patients with fibrosing ILDs who were treated with nintedanib were collected via spontaneous reporting and solicited reporting in various studies (excluding clinical trials).
Immune check point inhibitors (ICIs) have durable antitumor effects. However, autoimmune toxicities, termed immune-related adverse events, occur in some patients. We report a case of severe immune aplastic anemia (AA) in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer who was receiving atezolizumab with bevacizumab/carboplatin/paclitaxel.
