Due to the start of the monkeypox epidemic in 2022, we retrospectively analyzed the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported in France after monkeypox vaccinations with the third-generation smallpox vaccine. Ninety-eight cases, representing 172 ADRs, were reported. ADRs were mostly expected reactogenicity reactions occurring within days after the first dose of vaccine and having a quick favorable outcome.

Aim: To describe the symptoms, patient demographics, and trends over time of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to weak opioid analgesics reported to the French vigilance networks.

Methods: Retrospective study of data from French Poison Control Centers and Pharmacovigilance Centers databases of weak opioid analgesics-related ADRs cases, with high causality score, in adults, in therapeutic analgesic use, without co-exposure, between 2011 and 2020.

Results: The number of cases was 388 in the Poisonings database and 155 in the Pharmacovigilance database; ratio of the number of these cases to all reported cases during the study period was 0.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) foster anti-cancer immune responses. Their efficacy comes at the cost of immune-related adverse events (IRAEs). The latter affects various organs, including kidneys, mostly as acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, the pathophysiology of which remains unclear.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), aiming to foster cancer-targeted immune response, proved to be effective in several advanced malignancies at the price of immune-related adverse events affecting various organs, notably the kidneys. Herein, a retrospective descriptive analysis was performed on all biopsy-confirmed cases of ICI-induced nephropathy notified to the French Pharmacovigilance database to date. Data were gathered about patients' characteristics, acute kidney injuries and histopathological features.

Article Synopsis
  • Anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibody treatments for melanoma can lead to autoimmune side effects, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), through increased production of certain cytokines.
  • A study at Saint Louis Hospital from 2014 to 2016 found 3 cases of T1D among 132 melanoma patients treated with anti-PD-1, while blood glucose levels remained stable but C-reactive protein (CRP) significantly rose.
  • Data from the French Pharmacovigilance Database also revealed 14 rapid and severe T1D cases during immunotherapy, suggesting that anti-PD-1 treatment is associated with increasing CRP levels, which may lead to insulin resistance without immediate impact on
