Hematological toxicities in immune checkpoint inhibitors: A pharmacovigilance study from 2014 to 2019

: 1.11). Moreover, class-specific hematological AEs were also detected and differed in unique ICI regimens. Notably, disseminated intravascular coagulation had the highest proportion of death outcomes among the top 10 most frequently reported ICI-associated hematological AEs. Our study shows a high reporting frequency of hematological AEs induced by ICI monotherapy (especially by anti-CTLA-4 therapy) and reinforced by polytherapy. A spectrum of class-specific disproportionality signal was also detected; some were fatal and reported for the first time. The heterogeneous clinical spectrum of hematological toxicities, including the non-negligible proportion of death as reported outcome, are warranted to be reminded by clinicians. Early recognition and management of ICI-related hematological AEs are highly important and further studies are needed to confirm the results of our study.
