Abstract:
Objective:To explore the adverse cardiac event risk signals in arsenical for injection, improve the clinical understanding of the cardiac toxicity of arsenical.Methods:The risk signals of adverse cardiac events associated with arsenical for injection were mined using 3 methods, including reporting odds ratio (ROR) method, proportional reporting ratio (PRR) method, and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) comprehensive standard method based on data in Shandong Provincial Center of Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring (Shandong data) in China from the first quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2022 and the data in US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the fourth quarter of 2003 to the third quarter of 2023. The definition of risk signal in ROR and PRR method was the number of adverse event reports ≥3 and the lower limit of 95% confidence interval ( CI) of ROR and PRR >1. The definition of risk signals in MHRA comprehensive standard method was the number of adverse event reports ≥3, PRR>2, and χ2>4. Results:There were a total of 358 reports on arsenical for injection in Shandong data, of which 275 (76.8%) were related to arsenious acid and sodium chloride injection, and 83 (23.2%) were related to arsenic trioxide for injection. Among the 358 reports, adverse cardiac reactions were reported in 25 reports (7.0%), and severe cases accounted for 28.0% (7/25). There were a total of 1 294 reports on ATO in FAERS, and adverse cardiac events were reported in 418 reports (32.3%), of which severe cases accounted for 62.2% (260/418). The signal mining results form 275 reports on arsenious acid and sodium chloride injection in Shandong data showed that QT interval prolonged, chest tightness, cardiopalmus, and palpitations were risk signals. Among them, the signal strength of QT interval prolonged was the strongest. A total of 35 adverse cardiac event signals were mined in FAERS data, of which the signal strength of QT interval prolonged and long QT syndrome were the strongest. In addition, the strength of 6 arrhythmia signals (bradyarrhythmia, supraventricular premature contraction, ventricular premature contraction, torsade de pointes, ventricular tachycardia, and atrioventricular block) and 6 cardiac organic lesion signals (pericarditis, endocarditis, pericardial effusion, myocarditis, mitral regurgitation, and cardiac enlargement) also ranked high.Conclusions:Arsenical for injection is strongly associated with cardiotoxicity, and the proportion of severe cases is relatively high. The cardiotoxicity mainly affects the QT interval, and can also manifest as various types of arrhythmias and some cardiac organic lesions.
