Objective: Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening disease, and drug-induced AA is rare. Recently, studies on cases that possibly developed AA following osimertinib treatment have been conducted. This study evaluated the association of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including osimertinib, with AA and characterized such registered patients using a large spontaneous adverse event reporting database.

The prescribed dosage of omeprazole was discontinued or reduced in 47 of the 135 patients who received omeprazole alone in this survey, as recorded in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. The days to onset of omeprazole-related disorders were 3-4 d (median) and 16 d for intravenous 20-40 mg and oral 20 mg daily doses, respectively, in 34 patients for whom relevant data were available.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between PPI and rhabdomyolysis (RM), examining its time-to-onset profiles using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database.
Patients And Methods: Data spanning from April 2004 to March 2022 were used.
Fluvastatin is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitor that competitively inhibits human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2C9 in vitro. Drug interactions between a variety of P450 2C9 substrates/inhibitors and fluvastatin can increase the incidence of fluvastatin-related hepatic or skeletal muscle toxicity in vivo. In this survey, the prescribed dosage of fluvastatin was reduced or discontinued in 133 of 164 patients receiving fluvastatin alone, as recorded in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database of spontaneously reported events.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of antifungal triazoles with TdP/QTP by age group and the profile of the time of TdP/QTP onset by analyzing the spontaneous adverse event database for Japan.
Patients And Methods: Data registered in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database (JADER) from April 2004 to March 2022 were analyzed.
Atomoxetine is a cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6 probe substrate and an approved medicine for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In this humanized-liver mouse study, interactions between atomoxetine and the P450 2D6 probe drug paroxetine were observed. Human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models were established by scaling up humanized-liver mouse data obtained in the absence or presence of paroxetine.

In this survey, the prescribed dosage was reduced or discontinued in 150 and 56 patients, respectively, receiving celecoxib and diclofenac prescribed alone, as recorded in a Japanese database of adverse drug events. Among the factors underlying adverse events, intrinsic drug clearance rates may be a contributing factor.

However, in this survey, among 483 Japanese subjects administered atorvastatin alone, more than half (258) experienced statin intolerance and were unable to continue using the drug. Although many factors underly atorvastatin toxicity, the intrinsic clearance rate might be a contributing causal factor.

The aim of the present study was to examine the association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor use and the risk of fracture in older patients by analyzing data obtained from spontaneous adverse event reporting databases from the United States and Japan.
Materials And Methods: Data on older patients registered in the U.
Purpose: Everolimus-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) outcomes include everolimus-resistant tumors and poor hyperglycemia outcomes, which lead to various other negative clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of associations between concomitant drug treatment and time to DM event occurrence (onset or exacerbation) on the outcomes of everolimus-induced DM in patients with cancer.
Methods: Data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database (JADER) were used, and patient drug use, time of DM event occurrence, and DM outcomes were determined from patient records.
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) plays a minor role in degrading vasoactive peptides that cause angioedema when angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is present and fully functional. This study investigated the association between DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is) and angioedema, including cases where the concomitant use of ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) was absent. We obtained data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System and performed a disproportionality analysis, using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component (IC) for signal detection in patients aged ≥ 40 years, stratified by age group and sex.

Diabetes has been reported to be a risk factor for lowering androgen levels. Moreover, lowered androgen levels are more common in older men.

We surveyed registered cases from the JADER database between April 2004 and November 2019. The target drugs were five anti-influenza drugs, namely oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir, laninamivir, and baloxavir.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the time-to-onset and factors affecting clinical outcomes of IRIS in people living with HIV (PLWH) using data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database.
Methods: Data of PLWH who developed IRIS as an adverse event were extracted from the JADER database.
Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) analog formulations are the most commonly used drugs for glaucoma treatment. They are known to be superior to β-blockers for reducing intraocular pressure and can be effective all through the day. Because of the action, topical β-blockers are contraindicated for patients with bronchial asthma.

Some ophthalmic formulations with β-receptor blocking or α-receptor stimulating actions are reported to cause systemic adverse events such as a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure.

Because of imperfect receptor selectivity, beta-adrenergic drugs cause some adverse drug events by stimulating other adrenergic receptors. To examine the association between selective beta-adrenergic drugs and blood pressure elevation, we reviewed the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Reports (JADERs) submitted to the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency.

They were principally mated with<10 kg body weight at 7 months-old resulting in good handling. Cytochrome P450 (P450)-and flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO)-dependent drug oxidation activity of liver microsomes prepared from male Microminipigs (8 months-old) was compared with that for pooled dogs, monkeys, and humans.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDrug oxidation activities of 12 recombinant human cytochrome P450s (P450) coexpressed with human NADPH-P450 reductase (NPR) in bacterial membranes (P450/NPR membranes) were determined and compared with those of other recombinant systems and those of human liver microsomes. Addition of exogenous membrane-bound NPR to the P450/NPR membranes enhanced the catalytic activities of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5. Enhancement of activities of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1 in membranes was not observed after the addition of NPR (4 molar excess to each P450).
