Why the study?
While VEGFR-TKIs are known to cause adverse events like cardiotoxicity and haematotoxicity, their impact on liver injury remains understudied.
Are VEGFR-TKIs associated with liver injury in patients reported in the FAERS database?
Population
FAERS database reports from 2006 to 2024
Comparison
Nine VEGFR-TKIs (Axitinib, Vandetanib, Cabozantinib, Lenvatinib, Pazopanib, Ponatinib, Regorafenib, Sunitinib, Sorafenib)
Design
Pharmacovigilance disproportionality and Bayesian analysis

FAERS signals link VEGFR-TKIs to liver injury; leaves open causality and optimal monitoring in prospective studies.
Are VEGFR-TKIs associated with liver injury in patients reported in the FAERS database?
VEGFR-TKIs are associated with significant liver injury, highlighting the need for close monitoring to mitigate risks of hospitalization and early mortality.
Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
