As ibrutinib has become a standard of care in B-cell malignancies in monotherapy or in combination with other agents, definition of its safety profile appears essential. The aim of this study was to further characterize the safety profile of ibrutinib through the identification of potential safety signals in a large-scale pharmacovigilance database. All serious individual case safety reports (ICSRs) in patients aged ≥18 years involving ibrutinib suspected in the occurrence of serious adverse drug reactions or drug interacting from November 13th, 2013 to December 31st, 2020 were extracted from VigiBase, the World Health Organization global safety database.

Methods: All adverse drug reactions involving at least one ICI reported up to December 31, 2019 were extracted from the French pharmacovigilance database. Patients were included if they experienced at least one grade ≥2 irAE resulting in ICI discontinuation, with subsequent ICI rechallenge.
In recent years, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) became an arising disease due to the important antiresorptive drug prescriptions to treat oncologic and osteoporotic patients, as well as the use of new antiangiogenic drugs such as VEGF antagonist. So far, MRONJ physiopathogenesis still remains unclear. Aiming to better understand MRONJ physiopathology, the first objective of this review would be to highlight major molecular mechanisms that are known to be involved in bone formation and remodeling.
