Pertuzumab is widely used for the treatment of HER2 + breast cancer. But its safety in the real world should be continuously monitored. So, we evaluated the safety of pertuzumab by pharmacovigilance analyze based on related adverse events (AEs) from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and find whether potential or uncertain adverse events were present.In disproportionality analysis, four algorithms were employed to detect the signals of pertuzumab from the FAERS between 2012 and 2022. In addition, we also used MYSQL 8.0, Navicat Premium 15, and Microsoft EXCEL 2019 to analyze the potential and high-ROR (reporting odds ratio) signals of pertuzumab. We also collected the onset times of pertuzumab-associated AEs.From January 2012 to December 2022, there are 39,190,598 AEs reported from the FAERS database, of which 14,707 AEs listed pertuzumab as the 'primary suspected (PS)' drug. A total of 115 (46 potential) significant disproportionality preferred terms (PTs) conforming to the four algorithms were retained. Finally, we detected that the pertuzumab-induced AEs occurred in 12 organ systems. For pertuzumab, unexpected and significant PTs of AEs were found, including but not limited to below PTs: haematotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, cardiomyopathy, mitral valve incompetence, tachycardia, intestinal perforation, hemorrhoids, erysipelas, dehydration, pneumonitis, skin toxicity, onychomadesis, cyanosis, and circulatory collapse. We found there were 9 strong signals (5 potential safety signals) and 68 medium intensity signals (21 potential safety signals) according to IC025 (information component). The potential strong signals (IC025 > 3.0) were myelosuppression, cardiotoxicity, cardiac dysfunction, ejection fraction decreased, interstitial lung disease, and onychomadesis. Excluding unreported or unreasonable onset time reports, a total of 2016 AEs reported onset time and the median onset time was 117 days (4, 96), as median (Q1, Q3). Notably, most of the all AEs (n = 1133, 56%) and cardiac-related events (n = 405, 53%) all occurred within one month after pertuzumab therapy.Analysis of FAERS data identified pertuzumab-associated AEs, and our findings supported continuous clinical monitoring, pharmacovigilance, and further studies of pertuzumab. A significant association was detected between pertuzumab and some potential adverse events which should be regarded with some care. We have to pay attention to the first month after pertuzumab therapy and prepare emergency measures, especially for the elderly and patients with cardiovascular diseases.© 2023. The Author(s).
