Post-marketing safety concerns with dolutegravir: a pharmacovigilance study based on the FDA adverse event reporting system database by Juan Su, Long He, Menglei Wang

“…Notably, subgroup analyses revealed that progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (n = 9) in males, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (n = 6) and deafness neurosensory (n = 3) in the 18–45 age group, and hepatic necrosis (n = 4) in the 46–65 age group were rated as high clinical priority. The overall onset time for all AEs exhibited an early failure pattern, with a median onset time of 74 days (IQR 19–310.5), whereas the median onset time for designated medical events (DMEs) was 59 days (IQR 12–186).ConclusionThe long-term safety of DTG requires reassessing its risk-benefit ratio. …”
