More studies needed to determine risk of ILD with CDK4/6 inhibitors

Posted on

Due to increases in reports of interstitial lung disease (ILD) with CDK4/6 inhibitors as a class, CDK4/6 inhibitors should be included with other drugs that may induce ILD, according to a study.

This observational, retrospective pharmacovigilance analysis used data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). There was a total of 161 reports of ILD. ILD accounted for approximately 2% and 0.3% of all reports for abemaciclib and palbocilcib/ribociclib, respectively, in the FAERS database.

An increase in reporting was noted for CDK4/6 inhibitors and abemaciclib when compared to other drugs and other anticancer agents, respectively.

There was a strong and consistent disproportionality for abemaciclib, according to sensitivity analyses. After removing reports from Japan, there were higher-than-expected instances for palbociclib and ribociclib.
