: The present investigation provides a thorough analysis of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported in the Database of the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System (FEDRA) for biologic medications primarily indicated for severe refractory asthma, including omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab, and tezepelumab. Our main objective was to identify ADRs not documented in the drugs' Technical Sheets (summary of product characteristics, SmPC), potentially indicating unrecognized risks meriting pharmacovigilance attention. : Data spanning from each drug's market introduction until 22 January 2024, were analyzed, sourced from direct submissions to the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System, industry communications, and literature reviews. We evaluated notifications impartially to ensure a comprehensive review of all the ADRs associated with these medications. : This investigation underlines the critical role of post-marketing surveillance in enhancing patient safety. It emphasizes the necessity for healthcare professionals to report ADRs comprehensively to foster a robust pharmacovigilance system. Furthermore, the study highlights gaps between the reported ADRs and the information provided in SmPCs, signaling potential areas for improvement in drug safety monitoring and regulatory oversight. : Finally, these findings may contribute to informed decision making in clinical practice and regulatory policy, ultimately advancing patient care and safety in the management of severe uncontrolled asthma.
本研究对西班牙药物警戒系统数据库(FEDRA)中报告的主要用于治疗重度难治性哮喘的生物药物的药物不良反应(ADR)进行了全面分析,这些生物药物包括奥马珠单抗、美泊利单抗、瑞利珠单抗、贝那利珠单抗、度普利尤单抗和tezepelumab。我们的主要目标是识别药物技术文件(产品特性摘要,SmPC)中未记录的ADR,这些ADR可能表明存在未被认识到的风险,值得药物警戒关注。
分析了从每种药物上市到2024年1月22日的数据,数据来源包括直接提交给西班牙药物警戒系统的报告、行业通信和文献综述。我们对报告进行了公正评估,以确保全面审查与这些药物相关的所有ADR。
本研究强调了上市后监测在提高患者安全性方面的关键作用。它强调了医疗保健专业人员全面报告ADR以建立强大的药物警戒系统的必要性。此外,该研究突出了报告的ADR与SmPC中提供的信息之间的差距,这表明在药物安全监测和监管监督方面可能存在改进的领域。
最后,这些发现可能有助于临床实践和监管政策中的明智决策,最终在重度未控制哮喘的管理中推进患者护理和安全。
