Post-marketing safety profile of solriamfetol: A real-world disproportionality analysis using FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database.

Solriamfetol is a selective dopamine and noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor applied in adult patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the post-marketing safety profile of solriamfetol in large number of people was unrevealed. The purpose of our study is to unravel solriamfetol's adverse events (AEs) in real-world to refine medication safety using Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. We derived the data associated with solriamfetol from FAERS between 2019 and 2023, and removed the duplicated entries. We evaluated the disproportionality of solriamfetol's AEs by reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS). Among 8,846,085 AE reports, 1659 recorded solriamfetol as the 'primary suspected (PS)'. 74 significant disproportionality preferred terms (PTs) were retained across 27 organ systems. Moreover, 16 unexpected AEs not mentioned in the FDA label of solriamfetol were identified. Our findings provided the post-marketing safety profile of solriamfetol, highlighting potential solriamfetol's AEs. Further researches are significant to define the causality between solriamfetol and newly identified AEs.
