Most patients included in the analysis received Oxford/AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 as the first 2 doses and Moderna mRNA1273 as the third dose. Overall, 79%, 50%, and 84% of the patients experienced at least 1 adverse event after the first, second, and third doses, respectively. Most reactions were minor and temporary. Compared with the first dose, the second dose was associated with a lower rate of adverse events and the third dose was associated with a higher rate of local injection site reactions but a lower rate of systemic effects. Further analysis indicated that characteristics associated with increased risk of adverse events included female sex (odds ratio [OR]: 2.82; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.90-4.18) and arteriovenous fistula access (OR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.05-2.84). Based on the results of this prospective observational study in HD patients, the authors concluded that COVID-19 vaccination was generally well tolerated.

Data were used from the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between January 2020 and November 2021. A total of 14 956 and 151 reports of hearing-related adverse events were identified related to the COVID and influenza vaccines, respectively. The incidence of hearing disorder following COVID vaccination was 6.66/100 000. Further analysis revealed that reports of COVID vaccine–related hearing impairment was higher for both mRNA (reporting odds ratio [ROR] = 2.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.20-2.55) and virus vector vaccines (ROR = 2.50, 95% CI = 2.28-2.73). Reports of hearing dysfunction associated with the influenza vaccine were lower (ROR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.30-0.42).

Previous therapy included ibrutinib (420 mg daily), which was discontinued due to the development of secondary systolic heart failure. Concurrent medications were not noted in the report. Initially, when venetoclax was started, the patient developed mild and self-limiting gastrointestinal side effects (eg, diarrhea and fatigue) that did not interfere with the continuation of therapy. After the development of vitiligo, venetoclax was suspected but therapy was continued; the patient was advised to use camouflage cosmetics and sunscreen. However, the vitiligo worsened, with new lesions developing 2 months later. Upon follow-up, the lesions have stabilized and the patient continues to respond to venetoclax therapy. The authors concluded that this patient developed vitiligo related to venetoclax therapy and noted that this is only the second published case report.

Eight types of ocular adverse events were included in the search: periorbital and eyelid, conjunctival, corneal, scleral, lacrimal, lens, retinal, and optic nerve disorders. Reporting odds ratios (RORs) were determined using these disorders. For periorbital and eyelid disorders, safety signals were detected only with imatinib mesilate (ROR = 4.61 [2.85-7.46]). For conjunctival disorders, safety signals were noted for imatinib mesilate (ROR = 3.14 [1.85-5.32]) and lapatinib tosilate hydrate (ROR = 6.13 [2.91-12.94]). Eight drugs were associated with increased RORs for corneal disorders, including S-1, erlotinib, capecitabine, cetuximab, gefitinib, vandetanib, trastuzumab emtansine, and lapatinib. No antineoplastics were associated with safety signals for scleral disorders. For lacrimal disorders, safety signals were detected with S-1 (ROR = 41.41 [34.62-49.53]) and pembrolizumab (ROR = 2.45 [1.44-4.16]). For lens disorders, several chemotherapy agents were associated with increased RORs, including lenalidomide, pomalidomide, elotuzumab, tamoxifen, bexarotene, and venetoclax. Further analysis revealed that some antineoplastics were associated with increased RORs based on sex and age. Based on the results of this retrospective analysis of data in the JADER database, the authors concluded that several anticancer drugs may be associated with increased safety signals for ocular adverse events, some of which were not readily recognized. The authors noted that these results may be helpful in predicting the occurrence of ocular adverse events by onclogists.

Women were more affected than men (48.7% vs. 41.8%). The highest reporting odds ratio (ROR) were reported with rabeprazole (ROR: 13.3, 95% CI = 7.2-24.9). The median time to SIADH onset was 22 (interquartile range: 6-692) days after PPI administration. PPI-associated SIADH was associated with a 2.95% fatality rate and a 79.7% hospitalization rate. The highest hospitalization death rate occurred in esomeprazole reports (91.2%).
