Background/aim: Nintedanib may cause adverse events such as elevated liver enzyme levels, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. These adverse events should be managed appropriately as they affect the quality of life of patients. This study has aimed to analyze patient characteristics and time-to-onset of adverse events caused by nintedanib using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database.

Although there have been reports of the occurrence of stomatitis associated with anticancer agents in clinical trials, few Japanese participants have been enrolled in clinical trials and have not been sufficiently investigated. In addition, there has been little attention on research on anticancer drugs associated with stomatitis by patient stratification with different carcinogenic sites.

Recently, a subcutaneous formulation (SC) of daratumumab, which has fewer infusion reactions and shorter administration time, was approved. However, because SC has a fixed dose, overdosing is a concern for patients with low body weights.

In clinical trials, hematologic toxicity and infection have been observed as adverse events (AEs) of this drug. However, information on the time to onset of high risk AEs and subsequent outcomes, as well as differences in the frequency of AEs due to the route of administration is lacking.

Adverse event reports for the vaccine were collected from the Japan Adverse Drug Event Relief (JADER) database, similar to those for drugs. Reported odds ratios (RORs) and proportional reporting ratios (PRRs) are commonly used in disproportionality analysis to detect safety signals.

Clinical trials have reported hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal symptoms as class effects of PARP inhibitors. However, information on adverse events (AEs) in a Japanese clinical cohort is currently lacking.

However, comprehensive adverse event (AE) assessments for ixazomib are lacking.
Objectives: Herein, we aimed to determine the frequency and risk of AEs associated with ixazomib in Japanese patients using the Japanese Adverse Event Reporting Database (JADER).
Purpose: Patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors are at a risk of developing proteinuria. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors exert renoprotective effects and might reduce proteinuria risk in these patients. We investigated the risk factors for and protective effect of RAS inhibitors against proteinuria in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) receiving axitinib.
