Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced nephrotic syndrome: a pharmacovigilance analysis of 404 FAERS cases and literature case series. (PubMed, Ren Fail)
Disproportionality signals were observed for six ICI monotherapies and one combination therapy: atezolizumab (ROR 6.84; 95% CI: 5.58-8.40), avelumab (ROR 5.54; 95% CI: 2.64-11.63), nivolumab (ROR 4.37; 95% CI: 3.64-5.25), pembrolizumab (ROR 3.44; 95% CI: 2.88-4.10), durvalumab (ROR 2.03; 95% CI: 1.12-3.66), ipilimumab (ROR 2.05; 95% CI: 1.07-3.94), and the combination therapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab (ROR 4.56; 95% CI: 3.56-5.83). Firth multivariate logistic regression analysis identified several independent risk factors, including advanced age (>65 years), malignant renal neoplasm, malignant mesothelioma, and the concomitant use of bevacizumab or lenvatinib...Additionally, a literature review of 18 cases provided supplementary information on the clinical features. This study provides vital pharmacovigilance insights regarding nephrotic syndrome related to ICIs, enhancing the understanding of its clinical implications.
