Effect of blood pressure control on the risk of proteinuria during bevacizumab treatment in patients with colorectal cancer: a single-center retrospective cohort study. J Pharm Health Care Sci 2024; 10:51.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pre-existing hypertension is reportedly a major risk factor for bevacizumab-induced proteinuria. However, few studies have focused on the effects of blood pressure (BP) control on proteinuria during bevacizumab treatment. We report a retrospective study of the association between poor BP control and the risk of developing proteinuria in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Data for CRC patients who received bevacizumab between April 2015 and March 2022 were retrospectively collected. Patients were categorized into two groups based on average systolic blood pressure (SBP) during treatment: normal SBP (< 140 mmHg) and high SBP (≥ 140 mmHg). To evaluate the association between average SBP and grade ≥ 2 proteinuria, we used a 3 month landmark analysis and a Cox regression model. RESULTS Of the 279 patients analyzed, 109 had high SBP and 170 had normal SBP. The cumulative incidence of grade ≥ 2 and severe proteinuria was significantly higher in the high compared to the normal SBP group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.028, respectively). Landmark analysis indicated significant differences in proteinuria between patients with and without high average SBP during the first 3 months of treatment (p = 0.002 and p = 0.015, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that average SBP ≥ 140 mmHg was a significant independent risk factor for proteinuria (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION Landmark analysis showed that BP status during the first 3 months of bevacizumab treatment influences the risk of subsequent proteinuria. Therefore, timely diagnosis and stricter BP control are recommended for at least the first 3 months to avoid severe proteinuria.

Abstract
Regorafenib is the first multikinase inhibitor for treating metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Proteinuria is a frequently encountered adverse effect, regardless of prior administration of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors. Herein, we aimed to assess the impact of baseline preexisting proteinuria on regorafenib-induced problematic proteinuria during real-world mCRC therapy. Patients with mCRC receiving regorafenib (n = 100) were retrospectively assessed and divided into control and preexisting proteinuria (baseline grade of 1-2) groups. The primary endpoint was the development of grade ≥ 2 (grade ≥ 3 in case of baseline grade 2 patients) proteinuria. Propensity score-matching was performed to confirm the robustness of primary analyses. Defined proteinuria occurred in 30.7 and 57.9% of patients in the control and preexisting proteinuria groups, respectively, with significant differences in the all-patient population (P = 0.01). The preexisting proteinuria group exhibited significant defined proteinuria development within 7 days of regorafenib initiation, grade ≥ 3 symptoms, and treatment suspension owing to proteinuria. Similar results were obtained in the propensity score-matched population. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, baseline proteinuria was a singular risk factor for defined proteinuria development (adjusted odds ratio; 3.76, 95% confidence interval; 1.45-9.75, P = 0.007). Collectively, our study revealed that patients with preexisting proteinuria develop regorafenib-induced proteinuria degradation.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RAS-I) have an advantage over calcium channel blockers (CCB) for suppression of proteinuria in hypertensive patients with gastric cancer receiving ramucirumab (RAM) treatment. Adult Japanese patients with gastric cancer who were outpatients at Asahikawa Medical University Hospital, National Hospital Organization Hokkaido Cancer Center, and Iwate Medical University Hospital between July 1, 2015, and March 31, 2021, were included in this study. Of these patients, those who had received first-time RAM treatment, and those treated with antihypertensive agents including RAS-I or a CCB at initial RAM administration were included. A total of 36 patients were analyzed in this study. Of these patients, 17 patients were classified into the RAS-I group and the remaining 19 into the CCB group. After 12 weeks of RAM administration, the prevalence of proteinuria in the RAS-I group was significantly lower than that in the CCB group. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative occurrence of proteinuria in the RAS-I group over 12 weeks following RAM administration was significantly lower than that in the CCB group. Furthermore, simulation of the time course of RAM blood concentrations based on the O'Brien model showed that there may not be differences in the RAM blood concentration profiles over 12 weeks between the two groups. RAS-I may have an advantage over CCB for suppressing proteinuria in hypertensive patients with gastric cancer treated with blood pressure antihypertensive agents. Our results provide useful information to healthcare professionals involved in the administration of RAM treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor–tyrosine kinase inhibitors are at a risk of developing proteinuria. Renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors exert renoprotective effects and might reduce proteinuria risk in these patients. We investigated the risk factors for and protective effect of RAS inhibitors against proteinuria in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) receiving axitinib. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with RCC receiving axitinib at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital between September 2012 and October 2020. Patients with proteinuria ≥ 2+ at baseline were excluded. The patients were categorized into RAS inhibitor user, non-RAS inhibitor user, and non-user groups. The severity of proteinuria was graded based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was employed to identify the risk factors for developing grade ≥ 2 proteinuria. Results Among 42 patients, 28 received antihypertensive drugs at baseline. Among these, 17 and 11 patients were in the RAS inhibitor and non-RAS inhibitor user groups, respectively. Twenty-three patients (54.8%) developed grade ≥ 2 proteinuria. The multivariate analysis revealed that the non-RAS inhibitor user group (P = 0.001) and patients with pre-existing grade 1 proteinuria (P = 0.022) were significantly associated with the development of grade ≥ 2 proteinuria, whereas the RAS inhibitor user group was not significantly associated with it. Conclusion In patients with RCC receiving axitinib, pre-existing proteinuria and non-RAS inhibitor use were significantly associated with grade ≥ 2 proteinuria development. Our preliminary data should be confirmed by further studies. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00280-022-04408-4.

Predictive factors for the development of proteinuria in cancer patients treated with bevacizumab, ramucirumab, and aflibercept: a single-institution retrospective analysis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2011. [PMID: 32029849 PMCID: PMC7005043 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58994-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Accepted: 01/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The development of proteinuria restricts the dose of anti-angiogenic agents, thereby reducing their efficacy. Thus, this retrospective study was undertaken to identify predictive factors of the development of angiogenesis inhibitor-induced proteinuria, and to elucidate if there is a difference in the likelihood of proteinuria among anti-angiogenic agents or cancer types, to help guide future strategies to improve the safety, efficacy, and quality of life of patients receiving chemotherapy. Between April 2014 and February 2019, 124 cancer patients at our outpatient chemotherapy center who were receiving chemotherapy with bevacizumab, ramucirumab, or aflibercept were enrolled. Variables related to the development of proteinuria were extracted from the patients' clinical records and used for regression analysis. The level of the proteinuria was evaluated based on CTCAE version 5. Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors for the development of proteinuria. The Wilcoxon/Kruskal-Wallis test was used to identify significant differences between groups. Significant factors identified included systolic blood pressure (SBP) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.031, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.005-1.058; P = 0.0197], number of cycles (OR = 1.049, 95% CI = 1.018-1.082; P = 0.0019), and calcium channel blocker use (OR = 2.589, 95% CI = 1.090-6.146; P = 0.0311). There was no difference among the three anti-angiogenic agents (P = 0.4969) or among cancer types (P = 0.2726) in the likelihood of proteinuria. In conclusion, SBP, number of cycles, and calcium channel blocker use were identified as significant predictors of the development of angiogenesis inhibitor-induced proteinuria. There was no difference among the three anti-angiogenic agents or among cancer types.

Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2019; 84:195-202. [PMID: 31119376 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-019-03876-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Occurrence of proteinuria could result in cessation of bevacizumab and ramucirumab treatments. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors exert a renoprotective effect by countering proteinuria. However, the association between renoprotective effect of RAS inhibitors and blood pressure control is unclear. This study assessed the risk factors for proteinuria induced by bevacizumab or ramucirumab and the relationship between renoprotective effect of RAS inhibitors and blood pressure control. METHODS A retrospective observational analysis was conducted at Tokyo Women's Medical University, Medical Center East from June 2015 to May 2018. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for proteinuria induced by treatment with bevacizumab and ramucirumab. Renoprotective effect was assessed by analyzing blood pressure data in association with the use of RAS inhibitors. RESULTS Out of 208 patients included in this study, proteinuria was observed in 50 (24%) patients. Body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2 (OR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.21-4.96, p = 0.01), colorectal cancer (OR = 1.95, 95% CI 1.00-3.80, p < 0.05), and use of RAS inhibitors (OR = 0.25 95% CI 0.07-0.92, p = 0.04) were associated with proteinuria induced by treatment with bevacizumab and ramucirumab. A change in systolic blood pressure at second visit was higher in patients with RAS inhibitors compared with those in patients without RAS inhibitors (25 mmHg vs - 5 mmHg, p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Although RAS inhibitors protected patients from proteinuria induced by bevacizumab or ramucirumab, RAS inhibitors could not adequately control their blood pressures in patients with proteinuria.
