ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the adverse reaction (ADR) signals of five anaplastic lymphoma kinase-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs), crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, and lorlatinib, based on the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) to provide a reference for safe clinical medication.

METHODS: The ADR reports of the five ALK-TKIs collected in the FAERS database from their inception on 31 December 2022 were analyzed using the proportional reporting ratio (PRR) and Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) methods, and valid signals were systematically categorized using the thesaurus of the International Medical Dictionary of Terms (MedDRA).

RESULTS: Multiple organs and systems were involved in the ADRs of five kinds of ALK-TKIs, including 324 signals involved in 9754 reports of crizotinib, 208 signals involved in 2195 reports of ceritinib, 207 signals affected in 4353 reports of alectinib, 178 signals involved in 2213 reports of brigatinib and 202 signals involved in 2383 reports of lorlatinib. Forty-seven signals were not listed in the specification and label statement.

CONCLUSION: There are both commonalities and variations among the ADRs of the five types of ALK-TKIs. To ensure patient safety, individual monitoring should be performed according to the patients' condition.

INTRODUCTION

The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene is one of the common driver genes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and 3% to 7% of NSCLC patients carry an ALK fusion, with the EML4-ALK fusion subtype being the most common. The EML4-ALK fusion subtype is the most common.[1],[2] ALK fusion is the second most important pathway in NSCLC after EGFR mutation. For ALK fusion-positive patients with advanced NSCLC, both national and international guidelines recommend ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-targeted therapy.

Six ALK-TKIs are currently approved for marketing, namely, the first-generation ALK-TKI crizotinib, the second-generation ALK-TKIs ceritinib, alectinib, buxtinib, and enzacitinib, and the third-generation ALK-TKI lorlatinib. The efficacy of ALK-TKIs in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC is remarkable, and the rational sequential use of ALK-TKIs can enable long-term survival in most patients. With the extensive and long-term clinical use of ALK-TKIs, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have gradually been brought to light. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), a spontaneous reporting system for recording post-marketing adverse events, is widely used for ADR signal mining studies due to its large amount of data and open access to the public.[3] In this study, based on the FAERS database, we examined and analyzed the ADR information of five foreign-marketed ALK-TKIs, namely, crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, buxtitinib, and loratinib, with the aim of providing references for the rational use of medicines in clinics.


INFORMATION AND METHODOLOGY

Sources and searches

Data for this study were obtained from the FAERS database, and all ADR reports for crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, braglatinib, and lorlatinib (Crizotinib 26 August 2011, Ceritinib 29 April 2014, Aleitinib 11 December 2015, Bugatinib 28 April 2017, Loratinib 2 November 2018) since their launch until 31 December 2022 were obtained from the OpenVigil 2.1 public data platform. The drug search names were "crizotinib", "ceritinib", "alectinib", "brigatinib", and lorlatinib". The corresponding "Raw_data" and "Frequentist_methods" data files were downloaded and encoded in "csv" format. The corresponding files "Raw_data" and "Frequentist_methods" were downloaded and saved in "csv" format.

Data cleansing and processing

Nontarget drugs, duplicates, and unidentifiable and blank ADRs were excluded from the reports, and data cleaning was performed to obtain ADR data for target drugs. The screened reports were coded using the Preferred Term (PT) in MedDRA 25.0 and grouped into their respective System Organ Class (SOC) as per MedDRA 25.0. MedDRA is divided into five tiers: system organ class, high-level group terms, high level terms, preferred terms, and lowest level terms.

ADR Signal Mining

The ADR signals of the five ALK-TKls were analyzed using the proportional reporting ratio (PRR) and Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) methods in the proportional imbalance method. The calculation of the PRR and ROR was based on the proportional imbalance measurement method four-cell table [Table 1], and the specific algorithms are shown in Table 2. ADRs that met the signal requirements of both PRR and ROR were included in the present study. The higher the PRR and ROR values are, the higher the signal strength of the ADR and the the greater the association between the target drug and the target ADR in this study.

RESULTS

Basics of ADR Reporting

After cleaning and screening, a total of 9754 ADR reports of crizotinib, 2195 reports of ceritinib, 4353 reports of alectinib, 2213 reports of buxtitinib, and 2383 reports of loratinib were included in the present study, and the ADR reports of the five ALK-TKIs were predominantly from female patients, with the main age of the patients ranging from 50 to 75 years old, and the sources of the reports were from Europe and the United States. The role of ALK-TKI in the ADRs was most common in the "main suspected drug" category. The role of ALK-TKIs in ADRs was most frequently reported as the "main suspect", as shown in Table 3 and Figure 1.

Organ systems involved in ADR signaling

The ALK-TKI-associated ADR signals were counted and categorized, and each PT was attributed to one master SOC. Crizotinib received 324 signals, involving 24 systems; ceritinib received 208 signals, involving 20 systems; alectinib received 207 signals, involving 24 systems; buxtitinib received 178 signals, involving 23 systems; and loratinib received 202 signals, involving 21 systems. The ADR signals from ALK-TKIs were mainly focused on various types of investigated, including benign, malignant and tumors of unknown nature; respiratory and mediastinal diseases; various neurological diseases; gastrointestinal diseases; systemic diseases and various administration site reactions, the main SOCs involved in the five ALK-TKI-related ADRs were broadly the same, but there were some differences, such as a higher prevalence of loratinib in the psychiatric category and a higher prevalence of crizotinib in eye organ diseases, The detailed SOC distribution is shown in Figure 2.

ADR signal frequency and intensity ranking

A summary of the top 10 ADR signals in terms of frequency and top 10 ADR signals in terms of signal intensity due to the five ALK-TKIs showed that the ADRs with the highest frequency for crizotinib, alectinib, buxtitinib, and lorlatinib were all deaths, as shown in Table 4 and Table 5.

Detection results of overlapping ADRs in the top 50 frequency counts

As ALK-TKI-related ADRs involve a wide range of SOCs and a large number of PTs under each SOC, it is not possible to present the analysis one by one. In this paper, we intend to compare the ADR signals of the top 50 ADRs in the order of frequency count (DE) in five ALK-TKIs (excluding ADRs related to indications and tumour progression) in order to explore the commonalities and characteristics of various ALK-TKI-related ADRs. The top 50 ADRs in terms of frequency were compared with ADRs mentioned in the drug inserts, most of which were mentioned in the drug inserts, and 47 new signals were unearthed, including 5 for crizotinib, 11 for ceritinib, 12 for alectinib, 12 for buxtitinib, and 7 for loratinib in Table 6 (Please locate the Table at the end of the manuscript).


DISCUSSION

Demographic characteristics of ADR occurrence

In the ADR reports of the five ALK-TKIs included in this study, the sex of the reported patients was predominantly female, except for those whose sex was unknown, which is related to the demographic characteristics of patients with ALK gene rearrangements. Studies have shown that ALK gene rearrangements mostly occur in young and occasional or nonsmoking female patients with adenocarcinoma.[4] The age range of the patients was between 50 and 75 years, which is consistent with the mean age of ALK-positive patients of 63±13 years studied by Mori et al.[5] In terms of the countries from which the reports originated, ADR reports were mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States, while there were relatively few reports in Asia, which may be related to the source of the FAERS database and the countries where ALK-TKIs are marketed.

Visual toxicity

In addition to gastrointestinal reactions, hepatotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, cardiotoxicity, and other common adverse effects of targeted therapies, the results of these ADR signals showed that visual toxicity is also a common adverse effect of ALK-TKIs, especially crizotinib, whose ADR frequency ranks in the top 50 signals; impaired visual acuity, blurred vision, light flashes, vitreous mosquitoitis, photophobia, and a few signals are on the list. A phase II clinical trial of crizotinib showed that up to 65% of patients experienced visual disturbances,[6] with photophobia, light flashes, blurred vision, and vitreous mosquitoitis being the main symptoms.[7] Visual disturbances usually occur in the first week of crizotinib treatment, and symptoms tend to occur daily, last up to 1 minute, and usually have little impact on daily activities. The incidence of grade 4 visual field defects with loss of visual acuity is 0.2% in patients treated with crizotinib.[7] Other ALK-TKIs have similar visual toxicity, but the overall incidence is <15%.[8]

Central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions

Among the top 50 signals related to ADR frequency for the five ALK-TKIs, lorlatinib had the highest number of signals and the highest frequency of neurologically related adverse reactions, including cognitive impairment, memory impairment, peripheral neuropathy, neurological disorders, speech disorders, aphasia, amnesia, carpal tunnel syndrome, cerebral edema, neurotoxicity in all types of neurological disorders, sleep disorders, hallucinations, psychosis in psychiatric categories, visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, psychotic disorders, depression, prosopagnosia, affective disorders, and aggression. Studies have shown that NSCLC patients with ALK rearrangements have a higher cumulative risk of developing brain metastases than ALK-negative patients, with cumulative incidence rates of 45.5% and 58.4% over 2 and 3 years, respectively.[9],[10] Loratinib, as a third-generation ALK-TKI, has strong potency to cross the blood‒brain barrier due to the multiple advantages of its small-molecule macrocyclic amide structure.[11],[12],[13] The results of the CROWN study showed that for patients with measurable brain metastases at baseline, first-line treatment with lorlatinib resulted in an intracranial objective remission rate (ORR) of 83.3%, compared with 23.3% in the control group, and an intracranial complete remission rate (CR) of 72.2%.[14] In the control group, it was only 7.7%. In patients without brain metastases, first-line treatment with lorlatinib significantly controlled brain metastases, with a 3-year rate of no intracranial progression of 99.1%. Effective control of brain metastases in lung cancer with lorlatinib is accompanied by a number of central nervous system adverse effects. Studies have shown that the incidence of CNS side effects with lorlatinib is 35%,[15] and the median time to first CNS reaction is 1.4 months.[11] CNS reactions mainly manifest as seizures, psychiatric effects, and changes in cognitive function, mood, language, mental status, and sleep status.[11],[16] This suggests that healthcare professionals and family members should pay attention to the patient's mood and behavioral changes.

New adverse reactions

The side effects of the five ALK-TKIs noted in the current study were essentially consistent with those in the specification and report,[8] further confirming the credibility of this study. Hepatotoxicity is a common side effect of ALK-TKIs and is also the main reason for discontinuation of the drug during the course of drug treatment. In addition to the reported increases in transaminases and bilirubin, a new ADR of hepatitis was noted in the top 50 signals of crizotinib, ceritinib, and alectinib in the present study, suggesting that ALK-TKIs can induce hepatitis, which should be considered in clinical practice. TKIs can cause hepatitis, which should be taken seriously in clinical practice. The "photosensitivity reaction" signal of buxtitinib was not included in the specification, but a study showed that photosensitivity reactions occurred in 3.7% of patients receiving buxtitinib, of which 0.7% were grade 3-4.[17] In addition, photosensitivity reactions have been reported in patients treated with ceritinib and alectinib. Patients are advised to protect themselves from sunlight while taking these drugs.

Limitations of this study

Analysis of spontaneous presentation systems is an effective method to identify possible ADR signals, and the FAERS database is one of the largest sources of data available, but there are still some limitations in this study. This study was based on the FAERS spontaneous presentation database, and the data came mainly from Europe and the United States, with fewer reports from Asia and possible racial differences from our population. In addition, FAERS is a spontaneous reporting system, and data may be duplicated, missing or misreported, which may introduce bias in statistical analyses and make it impossible to calculate the frequency of ADRs. In addition, the same report may involve multiple drugs or multiple clinical symptoms, which may not be accurately distinguished in the classification of statistics. This study could not reflect the severity of adverse effects or evaluate the differences in adverse effects between doses of the same drug.


CONCLUSION

This study investigated the adverse effects of ALK-TKIs in real-world trials using the FAERS pharmacovigilance system. The types of ADRs associated with ALK-TKIs are more numerous and affect a wider range of organ systems. The ADRs of the five drugs have both common features and their own individual characteristics. There is a greater risk of CNS toxicity with lorlatinib and visual toxicity with crizotinib, suggesting that patients should be individually monitored during daily treatment to improve drug safety. This study also revealed 47 new ADR signals from ALK-TKIs. The relevant manufacturing departments should strengthen post-marketing surveillance, improve and update the drug specification in a timely manner, and do a good job in related outreach and education to accompany the safe use of the drugs in the clinic.
