Abstract
AIM Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have been commercialized in France for type 2 diabetes since April 2020 and later for heart and renal diseases. Given the recent developments in treating diabetes and the widening of SGLT-2i indications, we aimed to study changes in the use of glucose-lowering drugs in France and to characterize SGLT-2i new users. METHODS We performed a nationwide utilization study using the French health insurance database. Trends in incidence and prevalence of glucose-lowering drug use were assessed by a repeated cross-sectional study in 2019 and 2021. A cohort study of incident SGLT-2i users was then conducted to describe patient characteristics and the strategy for treating diabetes. RESULTS The prevalence of SGLT-2i use gradually reached 0.1% in the third quarter of 2021 and increased more significantly to 0.2% thereafter. SGLT-2i became the second most prescribed glucose-lowering drug class after metformin at the end of 2021 (0.1%). Among the cohort of 125 387 SGLT-2i new users (mean age 65.0 years; 60.1% of men), 87.6% presented a diabetic comorbidity. The patient profile changed over the study period with an increasing proportion of patients with cardiovascular (28.7% in 2020 vs. 40.2% in 2021) or renal (7.7% in 2020 vs. 11.8% in 2021) comorbidities at initiation. The main combinations used at SGLT-2i initiation were metformin (12.5%) and metformin plus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (8.1%). One-year probability of SGLT-2i persistence was estimated to be 55%. CONCLUSION The expansion of indications for SGLT-2i and the broadening of the target population make it essential to assess the reasons for discontinuation and review their safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced hyperglycemia and diabetes have negative and potentially serious health consequences but can often be unnoticed. METHODS We reviewed the literature searching Medline database for articles addressing drug-induced hyperglycemia and diabetes up to January 31, 2023. We also selected drugs that could induce hyperglycemia or diabetes according official data from drug information databases Thériaque and Micromedex. For each selected drug or pharmacotherapeutic class, the mechanisms of action potentially involved were investigated. For drugs considered to be at risk of hyperglycemia or diabetes, disproportionality analyses were performed using data from the international pharmacovigilance database VigiBase. In order to detect new pharmacovigilance signals, additional disproportionality analyses were carried out for drug classes with more than 100 cases reported in VigiBase, but not found in the literature or official documents. RESULTS The main drug classes found to cause hyperglycemia are glucocorticoids, HMG-coA reductase inhibitors, thiazide diuretics, beta-blockers, antipsychotics, fluoroquinolones, antiretrovirals, antineoplastic agents and immunosuppressants. The main mechanisms involved are alterations in insulin secretion and sensitivity, direct cytotoxic effects on pancreatic cells and increases in glucose production. Pharmacovigilance signal were found for a majority of drugs or pharmacological classes identified as being at risk of diabetes or hyperglycemia. We identified new pharmacovigilance signals with drugs not known to be at risk according to the literature or official data: phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists, sodium oxybate, biphosphonates including alendronic acid, digoxin, sartans, linosipril, diltiazem, verapamil, and darbepoetin alpha. Further studies will be needed to confirm these signals. CONCLUSIONS The risks of induced hyperglycemia vary from one drug to another, and the underlying mechanisms are multiple and potentially complex. Clinicians need to be vigilant when using at-risk drugs in order to detect and manage these adverse drug reactions. However, it is to emphasize that the benefits of appropriately prescribed treatments most often outweigh their metabolic risks.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Artificial intelligence (AI) based tools offer new opportunities for pharmacovigilance (PV) activities. Nevertheless, their contribution to PV needs to be tailored to preserve and strengthen medical and pharmacological expertise in drug safety. AREAS COVERED This work aims to describe PV tasks in which the contribution of AI and intelligent automation (IA) tools is required, in the context of a continuous increase of spontaneous reporting cases and regulatory tasks. A narrative review with expert selection of pertinent references was performed through Medline. Two areas were covered, management of spontaneous reporting cases and signal detection. PERSPECTIVE The use of AI and IA tools will assist a large spectrum of PV activities, both in public and private PV systems, in particular for tasks of low added value (e.g. initial quality check, verification of essential regulatory information, search for duplicates). Testing, validating, and integrating these tools in the PV routine are the actual challenges for modern PV systems, to guarantee high-quality standards in terms of case management and signal detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have transformed cancer treatment over the last decade. Alongside this therapeutic improvement, a new variety of side effects has emerged, called immune-related adverse events (irAEs), potentially affecting any organ. Among these irAEs, myocarditis is rare but life-threatening. METHODS We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional retrospective study with the aim of better characterizing ICI-related myocarditis. Myocarditis diagnosis was based on the recent consensus statement of the International Cardio-Oncology Society. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients were identified, from six different referral centers. Most patients (55%) were treated using anti-programmed-death 1, rather than ICI combination (35%) or anti-programmed-death-ligand 1 (10%). Transthoracic echocardiography was abnormal in 52% of them, and cardiac magnetic resonance showed abnormal features in 14/24 patients (58%). Eleven patients (38%) were classified as severe. Compared with other patients, they had more frequently pre-existing systemic autoimmune disease (45% vs 6%, p=0.018), higher troponin level on admission (42-fold the upper limit vs 3.55-fold, p=0.001), and exhibited anti-acetylcholine receptor autoantibodies (p=0.001). Seven patients (24%) had myocarditis-related death, and eight more patients died from cancer progression during follow-up. Twenty-eight patients received glucocorticoids, 10 underwent plasma exchanges, 8 received intravenous immunoglobulins, and 5 other immunosuppressants. ICI rechallenge was performed in six patients, with only one myocarditis relapse. DISCUSSION The management of ICI-related myocarditis may be challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Prognostic features are herein described and may help to allow ICI rechallenge for some patients with smoldering presentation, after an accurate evaluation of benefit-risk balance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal condition characterized by hyperactivation of macrophages and cytotoxic lymphocytes, combining a series of non-specific clinical symptoms and laboratory disorders. Etiologies are multiple: infectious (mainly viral) but also oncologic, autoimmune or drug-induced. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are recent anti-tumor agents associated with a novel profile of adverse events triggered by immune system over-activation. Here, we sought to provide a comprehensive description and analysis of HLH cases reported with ICI since 2014. METHODS Disproportionality analyses were performed in order to further explore the association between ICI therapy and HLH. We selected 190 cases, 177 from the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database and 13 from the literature. Detailed clinical characteristics were retrieved from the literature and from the French pharmacovigilance database. RESULTS The cases of HLH reported with ICI concerned men in 65% of cases with a median age of 64 years. HLH occurred in an average of 102 days after the initiation of ICI treatment and mostly concerned nivolumab, pembrolizumab and nivolumab/ipilimumab combination. All cases were considered serious. Most cases presented a favorable outcome (58.4%); however, death was reported for 15.3% of patients. Disproportionality analyses showed that HLH was seven times more frequently reported with ICI therapy than with other drugs and three times more than with other antineoplastic agents. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians should be aware of the potential risk of ICI-related HLH to improve the early diagnosis of this rare immune-related adverse event.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether use of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA) is associated with increased risk of thyroid cancer. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A nested case-control analysis was performed with use of the French national health care insurance system (SNDS) database. Individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with second-line antidiabetes drugs between 2006 and 2018 were included in the cohort. All thyroid cancers were identified through hospital discharge diagnoses and medical procedures between 2014 and 2018. Exposure to GLP-1 RA was measured within the 6 years preceding a 6-month lag-time period and considered as current use and cumulative duration of use based on defined daily dose (≤1, 1 to 3, >3 years). Case subjects were matched with up to 20 control subjects on age, sex, and length of diabetes with the risk-set sampling procedure. Risk of thyroid cancer related to use of GLP-1 RA was estimated with a conditional logistic regression with adjustment for goiter, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, other antidiabetes drugs, and social deprivation index. RESULTS A total of 2,562 case subjects with thyroid cancers were included in the study and matched with 45,184 control subjects. Use of GLP-1 RA for 1-3 years was associated with increased risk of all thyroid cancer (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.58, 95% CI 1.27-1.95) and medullary thyroid cancer (adjusted HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.04-3.05). CONCLUSIONS In the current study we found increased risk of all thyroid cancer and medullary thyroid cancer with use of GLP-1 RA, in particular after 1-3 years of treatment.

Abstract
AIMS In the last French study in 2007, the incidence of hospital admissions (HAs) related to adverse drug reactions (ADRs) was 3.6%. The objective was to assess the current ADR-HA incidence in France and to describe both its characteristics and preventability. METHODS A prospective multicentre study was conducted among randomly selected French public hospital medical wards (April-July 2018). Patients admitted during a week period were included. ADR-HA cases were collected by the French Regional Pharmacovigilance Centres network. An independent committee validated potential cases and ADR preventability. RESULTS ADR-HA incidence was 8.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.6-9.4%), increasing with age (3.3% [95%CI: 1.8-5.5%] ≤16 y vs. 10.6% [95%CI: 9.3-12.0%] ≥65 y). The most common ADRs were haemorrhagic events (8.8%), haematological disorders (6.5%), acute renal failure (6.3%), fluid and electrolyte disorders (6.0%), and falls (5.2%). New drugs were involved: targeted therapies (22.8% of antineoplastics), direct oral anticoagulants (29.6% of antithrombotics) and incretin-based drugs (20.0% of antidiabetics). ADRs were preventable in 16.1% of cases because the drugs involved had not been used in accordance with monographies, package leaflets or other therapeutic guidelines. The main situations of noncompliance addressed either dose or duration of use (27.9%), warning (23.2%), use precaution (18.6%) and inappropriate self-medication or misuse by patients (11.6%). CONCLUSION In France, ADR-HA incidence dramatically increased over the last decade. A significant proportion was related to new pharmacological classes and considered as preventable. These findings should lead to in-depth thought on preventive actions on at-risk drug classes.

Abstract
Cases of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) have been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. Here we provide a comprehensive description and analysis of all cases of AOSD reported in the literature and in pharmacovigilance databases through April 2022. Disproportionality analyses of pharmacovigilance data were performed in order to further explore the association between vaccination and AOSD. We included 159 patients, 144 from the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database and 15 from the literature. Detailed clinical characteristics were described for the cases from the literature and from the French pharmacovigilance database (n = 9). The cases of AOSD after COVID-19 vaccination concerned women in 52.2% of cases. The median age was 43.4 years. More than 80% of AOSD reports occurred during the first three weeks and concerned mostly the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. We identified 14.5% of disease flare with a median time-to-onset of AOSD flare-up significantly shorter than for the new onset form. More than 90% patients received steroids. Although all cases were considered serious and required hospitalization, most cases presented a favorable outcome (67.1%) with a good response to corticosteroid therapy with a mean time to recovery of 7.2 days. Disproportionality analyses suggested that AOSD was associated with COVID-19 vaccines as well as other vaccines. AOSD was nearly five times more frequently reported with COVID-19 vaccines than with all other drugs. Clinicians should be informed about the potential risk of AOSD onset or flare following COVID vaccines and the importance of its early detection to optimize its management.

Abstract
Since pandemic start, patients may have faced difficulties in accessing to care and treatment. This study aimed at assessing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and its control measures on the use of drugs indicated in cardiovascular prevention and diabetes mellitus in France. From 09/17/2018 to 09/20/2020, a repeated cohort analysis was performed using the French nationwide health insurance databases. The pandemic impact was assessed using time-series analyses and unobserved components model for the weekly number of patients with (i) drug dispensing, (ii) ongoing treatment, (iii) treatment initiation, (iv) treatment disruption. Overall, 14,822,132 patients with cardiovascular drug dispensings and 3,231,618 with antidiabetic ones were identified. After a sharp spike in the amount of dispensings in the week the first national lockdown was announced, the period was marked by decreased levels and trends. Altogether, the estimated impact of the pandemic on dispensings appeared limited over the lockdown period (1–3% lack in dispensings). During lockdown, the weekly numbers of treatment disruptions remained stable whereas a significant decrease in treatment initiations was observed for almost all drug classes (e.g. β-blockers initiations: − 8.9%). Conversely, the post-lockdown period showed increases in treatment disruptions especially for antihypertensive and lipid lowering drugs (e.g. statins disruptions: + 4.9%). The pandemic and associated measures had a significant impact on cardiovascular and antidiabetic drugs use in France, mostly consisting in decreases of treatment initiations over lockdown and increases in treatment disruptions afterwards. Both could result in increased morbimortality that remains to be assessed.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors might increase the risk of intestinal obstruction, but real-world evidence for this severe adverse event is lacking. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine whether GLP-1 RAs and DPP-4 inhibitors are associated with an increased risk of intestinal obstruction compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. We used the United Kingdom Clinical Practice Research Datalink and linked databases to assemble two new-user, active comparator cohorts (2013-2019). The first included 25,617 and 67,261 GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2 inhibitor users, respectively. The second included 131,927 and 40,615 DPP-4 inhibitor and SGLT-2 inhibitor users, respectively. Propensity score fine stratification weighted Cox proportional hazards models were fit to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of intestinal obstruction requiring hospitalization. GLP-1 RAs were associated with an increased risk of intestinal obstruction compared with SGLT-2 inhibitors (1.9 vs. 1.1 per 1,000 person-years, respectively; HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.04-2.74). The highest HR was observed after 1.6 years of use (HR: 3.48, 95% CI: 1.79-6.79). DPP-4 inhibitors were also associated with an increased risk (2.7 vs. 1.0 per 1,000 person-years; HR: 2.59, 95% CI: 1.52-4.42), with the highest HR observed after 1.8 years of use (HR: 9.53, 95% CI: 4.47-20.30). The number needed to harm after 1 year of use was 1,223 and 603 for GLP-1 RAs and DPP-4 inhibitors, respectively. In this large real-world study, GLP-1 RAs and DPP-4 inhibitors were associated with an increased risk of intestinal obstruction.

Abstract
AIM Levamisole was initially prescribed for the treatment of intestinal worms. Because of immunomodulatory properties, levamisole has been used in inflammatory pathologies and in cancers in association with 5-fluorouracil. Levamisole is misused as a cocaine adulterant. Post-marketing reports have implicated levamisole in the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and its use is now limited in Europe and North America. In contrast, all other parts of the World continue to use single-dose as an anthelmintic. The aim of this study was to identify ADRs reported after levamisole exposure in VigiBase, the WHO's pharmacovigilance database, and analyze their frequency compared to other drugs and according to levamisole type of use. METHODS All levamisole-related ADRs were extracted from VigiBase®. Disproportionality analyses were conducted to investigate psychiatric, hepatobiliary, renal, vascular, nervous, blood, skin, cardiac, musculoskeletal and general ADRs associated with levamisole and other drugs exposure. In secondary analyses, we compared the frequency of ADRs between levamisole and mebendazole and between levamisole type of use. RESULTS Among the 1763 levamisole-related ADRs identified, psychiatric disorders (Reporting Odds-Ratio with 95% confidence intervals: 1.4 [1.2-2.6]), hepatobiliary disorders (2.4 [1.9-4.3]), vasculitis (6.5 [4.1-10.6]), encephalopathy (22.5 [17.4-39.9]), neuropathy (4.3 [2.9-7.1]), hematological disorders, mild rashes and musculoskeletal disorders were more frequently reported with levamisole than with other drug. The majority of levamisole-related ADRs occurred when the drug was administrated for a non-anti-infectious indication. CONCLUSION The great majority of the levamisole-related ADRs concerned its immunomodulatory indication and multiple doses regimen. Our results suggest that single-dose treatments for anthelmintic action have a good safety profile.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After a safety warning was issued for a risk of muscular injury associated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor use, especially when co-prescribed with statins, spontaneous reporting analyses provided conflicting results. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between DPP-4 inhibitor use and the risk of muscular injury in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus using statins or fibrates. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study amongst a cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes using statins or fibrates, identified from a nationwide French health insurance database (2009-2014). Cases of serious muscular injury were defined as subjects hospitalized for rhabdomyolysis or myopathy, or for whom testing for myoglobin or creatine phosphokinase followed by a change in statin or fibrate prescription (dose decrease, treatment switch, or stop) was identified. Up to ten controls were matched to each case according to sex, age, and type of lipid-lowering agent. Associations between DPP-4 inhibitor use and serious muscular injury were estimated using a multivariate conditional logistic regression model, providing odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for alcoholism, chronic renal failure, hypothyroidism, and number of concomitant drugs. RESULTS Within the 35,117 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus constituting the source cohort, 437 statin-user cases were identified who were matched to 4358 statin-user controls. Similarly, 54 fibrate-user cases were identified who were matched to 540 fibrate-user controls. The adjusted OR for DPP-4 inhibitor use and serious muscular injury was estimated at 1.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.7-1.2) in statin users and 0.8 (95% CI 0.4-1.9) in fibrate users. CONCLUSION In this study, DPP-4 inhibitor use was not associated with an increased risk of serious muscular injury among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using statins or fibrates.

Abstract
Diarrhoea is an adverse drug reaction of the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril + valsartan. It was also described with olmesartan and more recently with other angiotensin receptor blockers. The study was performed to compare diarrhoea reports in pharmacovigilance databases with sacubitril + valsartan and valsartan. The study used reports of diarrhoea with the ARNI sacubitril + valsartan registered: first in the French PharmacoVigilance Database (FPVD) and second in Vigibase®, the WHO Global Individual Case Safety Report database. After description of the main characteristics, disproportionality analyses were performed. Results are reported as reporting odds ratios (ROR) with 95% confidence interval. We found 29 reports of diarrhoea with sacubitril + valsartan in the FPVD and 686 in Vigibase®. With sacubitril + valsartan, diarrhoea occurred more frequently in males around 70 years with a median delay of 3 days. With valsartan, diarrhoea occurred more frequently in females around 68 years with a median delay of 0.5 days. In the FPVD, a significant association was found with sacubitril + valsartan in comparison with valsartan alone before (ROR = 8.78 [5.19-14.85]) and after (ROR = 11.19 [5.89-21.25]) exclusion of concomitant drugs known to be associated with diarrhoea. A significant association was also found in Vigibase® after adjustment on age, sex, reporter and its location (ROR = 1.31 [1.14-1.50]). Diarrhoea reported with sacubitril + valsartan has marked differences in gender, delay of occurrence and frequency of reporting in comparison with diarrhoea with valsartan. From a pharmacodynamic point of view, these results suggest a specific role of sacubitril in diarrhoea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ivermectin is known to cause severe encephalopathies in subjects infected with loiasis, an endemic parasite in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In addition, case reports have described ivermectin-related serious adverse drug reactions (sADRs) such as toxidermias, hepatic and renal disorders. The aim of this study was to identify suspected sADRs reported after ivermectin administration in VigiBase, the World Health Organization's global individual case safety reports database and analyze their frequency relative to the frequency of these events after other antinematodal drugs reported in SSA and other areas of the world (ROW). METHODS All antinematodal-related sADRs were extracted from VigiBase. Disproportionality analyses were conducted to investigate nervous, cutaneous, psychiatric, respiratory, renal, hepatic and cardiac suspected sADRs reported after ivermectin and benzimidazole drug administration across the world, in SSA and RoW. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS 2041 post-ivermectin or post-benzimidazole suspected sADRs were identified including 667 after ivermectin exposure (208 in SSA and 459 in the RoW). We found an increased reporting for toxidermias, encephalopathies, confusional disorders after ivermectin compared to benzimidazole drug administration. Encephalopathies were not only reported from SSA but also from the RoW (adjusted reporting odds ratios [aROR] 6.30, 95% confidence interval: 2.68-14.8), highlighting the fact these types of sADR occur outside loiasis endemic regions. CONCLUSION We described for the first time suspected sADRs associated with ivermectin exposure according to geographical origin. While our results do not put in question ivermectin's excellent safety profile, they show that as for all drugs, appropriate pharmacovigilance for adverse reactions is indicated.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause numerous and complex immune-related adverse events whose management need a multidisciplinary approach. Herein, we investigated 114 requests, mostly concerning patients suffering from lung cancer, that were submitted to the « ToxImmun » multidisciplinary meeting in Eastern Occitania between December the 17th 2018 and January the 20th 2020. The leading reasons for the request concerned the putative causal link between immunotherapy and immune-toxicity and its management, followed by possible retreatment after temporary withdrawn because of adverse event, and finally the possibility to initiate ICIs in patients with pre-existing autoimmunity. Colitis, hepatitis and myocarditis were the most frequent immune-related adverse events (IRAEs), both all grade and grade 3-4. Sicca syndrome (with or without Sjogren criteria) was also frequent (26% of cases) and seems to be associated with severe toxicity and multi-toxicity. The mean time to first IRAE was 3.8 months, a time shortened with the use of anti-PD-L1 agents or ICI combination. A majority of requests came from initial evaluation by the internist confirming the early and main role of this specialty in the management of immunotoxicity. Expansion of this regional multidisciplinary meeting, coordinated by internists and medical oncologists, could improve management of immune-related adverse events for the patients' benefits.

Abstract
According to previous reports, diabetes seems to be a risk factor which worsens the serious clinical events caused by COVID-19. But is diabetes per se a risk factor that increases the probability of getting the virus? This paper will discuss this point. There are not many research data on antidiabetic drugs in this context. The potential influence of glucose-lowering agents on the severity of COVID-19 has not been described yet. Dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a cell surface protein ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and it is also a soluble molecule found in serum/plasma fluids. DPP-4 is involved in infection of cells by some viruses. This paper reviews data about the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and others diabetes drugs on COVID-19 patients. As such, no available evidence has yet suggested that glucose-lowering drugs - including those targeting DPP4-related pathways - produce any significant harm or benefit in the context of human infections. However, insulin must remain the first-choice agent in the management of critically ill-hospitalized patients, while it is recommended to suspend other agents in unstable patients. This paper provides related French and international recommendations for people with diabetes who got infected by COVID-19 and upholds that infections may alter glucose control and may require additional vigilance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several clusters of encephalopathy occurred after the market change from Holoxan® (ifosfamide lyophilized powder) to Ifosfamide EG® (liquid formulation) and justified a formal survey in 2015. In June 2016, the regulatory authority decided to apply a precautionary measure in reducing the shelf life of Ifosfamide EG® at 7 months. One-year study from spontaneous reports lead to suspect a potential residual risk. Due to the many limitations associated with spontaneous notifications, we performed a multicentric observational study, aiming to better explore this pharmacovigilance signal. METHODS We performed a case-control study in pediatric oncology Departments of 25 university hospitals between July 1st, 2016 and July 1st, 2018. All children (<18 y.o.) receiving liquid formulation or lyophilized powder formulation during the study period were included. Patients with at least one occurrence of encephalopathy were considered as cases. Logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratio of encephalopathy between exposure groups. RESULTS During the study period, 52 cases and 495 controls were included. A residual over-risk of encephalopathy was associated with ifosfamide 7-month shelf-life liquid formulation compared to lyophilized powder (adjusted OR 1.91, 95% CI: 1.03-3.53). CONCLUSIONS Observed difference does not seem to be related to the pathology treated, the doses used, the co-medications, a meningeal localization and/or an irradiation of the central nervous system. This study confirms data from spontaneous reports that led to the precautionary measure for the liquid formulation. Even if the risk of encephalopathy seems reduced, our study suggests the persistence of a residual risk of encephalopathy associated with liquid formulation compared to the lyophilized powder.

Abstract
Importance Amyloid-β is a major component of retinal drusen, the primary lesions of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and autopsy and animal models suggested that anticholinergic drug (ACD) use increased brain amyloid-β deposition. Objective To investigate the association between exposure to ACDs and late AMD (features of neovascular AMD or geographic atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium in at least 1 eye). Design, Setting and Participants A multicenter case-control study in 4 French ophthalmologic centers comprising 200 cases with late AMD and 200 controls enrolled from July 2016 to June 2017. Exposures Exposure to at least 3 months of ACDs started before AMD diagnosis was recorded during a specific interview. A dose-effect association with cumulative exposure duration and Anticholinergic Burden Score was explored. The association between ACD exposure and AMD was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, family history of AMD, alcohol consumption, and use of anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory drugs. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals were estimated. Main Outcomes and Measures Association between exposure to ACDs and late AMD. Results Among case participants, the mean (SD) age was 74.8 (9.2) years, 129 (64.5%) were women, 192 (96%) were white, 65 (32.5%) had geographic atrophy, 135 (67.5%) had neovascular AMD, 116 (58%) had unilateral AMD, and 84 (42%) had bilateral AMD. Among control participants, the mean (SD) age was 75.5 (7.2) years, with 116 (58%) women and 187 (93.5%) white participants. Twenty-six cases (13%) and 10 controls (5%) were exposed to ACDs throughout life for at least 3 months before AMD onset. Risk of AMD was increased with ever exposure to ACDs (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.84; 95% CI, 1.33-6.06; P = .007), high Anticholinergic Burden Score (≥3) (aOR, 6.42; 95% CI, 1.38-29.92; P = .02), and longest cumulative exposure to ACD (≥15 years) (aOR, 5.88; 95% CI, 1.22-28.31; P = .03). Conclusions and Relevance Risk of late AMD may be increased with at least 3 months' use of ACDs. A dose-effect association was suggested by a greater association with prolonged use and high Anticholinergic Burden Score. Further studies, in particular those with longitudinal design, are needed to confirm this association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are associated with an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma in adults with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN Population based cohort study. SETTING General practices contributing data to the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink. PARTICIPANTS 154 162 adults newly treated with antidiabetic drugs between 1 January 2007 and 31 March 2017, followed until 31 March 2018. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists was modelled as a time varying variable and compared with use of other second or third line antidiabetic drugs. All exposures were lagged by one year to account for cancer latency and to minimise reverse causality. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of incident cholangiocarcinoma associated with use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, separately. A post hoc pharmacovigilance analysis was conducted using the World Health Organization's global individual case safety report database, VigiBase, to estimate reporting odds ratios of cholangiocarcinoma. RESULTS During 614 274 person years of follow-up, 105 incident cholangiocarcinoma events occurred (rate 17.1 per 100 000 person years). Use of DPP-4 inhibitors was associated with a 77% increased hazard of cholangiocarcinoma (hazard ratio 1.77, 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 3.01). Use of GLP-1 receptor agonists was associated with an increased hazard with a wide confidence interval (hazard ratio 1.97, 0.83 to 4.66). In the pharmacovigilance analysis, the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists were both associated with increased reporting odds ratios for cholangiocarcinoma, compared with use of sulfonylureas or thiazolidinediones (1.63, 1.00 to 2.66, 4.73, 2.95 to 7.58, respectively). CONCLUSION Compared with use of other second or third line antidiabetic drugs, use of DPP-4 inhibitors, and possibly GLP-1 receptor agonists, might be associated with an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Metformin is recommended as the first-line treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Despite its common use, few studies have been conducted to precisely measure the efficacy of metformin versus placebo as a first-line treatment. This study aims to assess the precise effects of metformin monotherapy on glycemic control and weight in drug-naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Medline® and Cochrane databases were searched until March 19, 2016 to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of placebo-controlled randomized trials evaluating metformin monotherapy in drug-naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Assessed outcomes include glycemic control (fasting plasma glucose, glycosated hemoglobin) and weight. RESULTS Overall, 16 studies (1140 patients) were selected. Compared to placebo, metformin monotherapy was associated with decreased glycosated hemoglobin by 0.95% at 3 months (95% CI: 0.50 to 1.39, I2=87%) and 1.32% at 6 months (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.62, I2=71%), and decreased fasting plasma glucose by 1.92mmol/L at 1 month (95% CI: 0.11 to 3.74, I2=88%), 1.79mmol/L at 3 months (95% CI: 0.92 to 2.66, I2=88%) and 2.14mmol/L at 6 months (95% CI: 1.17 to 3.12, I2=82%). No significant difference was demonstrated for the comparisons of weight due to relatively small number of studies retrieved from the literature resulting in insufficient statistical power. CONCLUSION This study provides the precise effects of metformin monotherapy regarding the decreases in fasting plasma glucose and glycosated hemoglobin that physician can expected in drug-naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. No evidence was found for the effects on weight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to develop and validate an adequate tool to evaluate the risk of bias of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews assessing drug adverse events. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING We developed a structured risk of bias checklist applicable to randomized trials, cohort, case-control and nested case-control studies, and systematic reviews focusing on drug safety. Face and content validity was judged by three experienced reviewers. Interrater and intrarater reliability were determined using 20 randomly selected studies, assessed by three other independent reviewers including one performing a 3-week retest. RESULTS The developed checklist examines eight domains: study design and objectives, selection bias, attrition, adverse events information bias, other information bias, statistical methods to control confounding, other statistical methods, and conflicts of interest. The total number of questions varied from 10 to 32 depending on the study design. Interrater and intrarater agreements were fair with Kendall's W of 0.70 and 0.74, respectively. Median time to complete the checklist was 8.5 minutes. CONCLUSION The developed checklist showed face and content validity and acceptable reliability to assess the risk of bias for studies analyzing drug adverse events. Hence, it might be considered as a novel useful tool for systematic reviews and meta-analyses focusing on drug safety.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The use of dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues-a group of drugs used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus-may be associated with an increased risk of bile duct and gallbladder disease. To date, no observational study has assessed this possible association. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues is associated with an increased risk of incident bile duct and gallbladder disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A population-based cohort study linked the United Kingdom Clinical Practice Research Datalink with the Hospital Episodes Statistics database, yielding a cohort of 71 369 patients, 18 years or older, initiating an antidiabetic drug (including oral and injectable agents) between January 1, 2007, and March 31, 2014. EXPOSURES Current use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues (alone or in combination therapy) compared with current use of at least 2 oral antidiabetic drugs. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Time-dependent Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs of incident bile duct or gallbladder events (cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, cholangitis) causing hospitalization, comparing current use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues with current use of at least 2 oral antidiabetic drugs. RESULTS During 227 994 person-years of follow-up, 853 of the 71 369 patients were hospitalized for bile duct and gallbladder disease (incidence rate per 1000 person-years, 3.7; 95% CI, 3.5-4.0). Current use of DPP-4 inhibitors was not associated with an increased risk of bile duct and gallbladder disease compared with current use of at least 2 oral antidiabetic drugs (3.6 vs 3.3 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.75-1.32). In contrast, the use of GLP-1 analogues was associated with an increased risk of bile duct and gallbladder disease compared with current use of at least 2 oral antidiabetic drugs (6.1 vs 3.3 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.21-2.67). In a secondary analysis, GLP-1 analogues were also associated with an increased risk of cholecystectomy (adjusted HR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.08-4.02). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The use of GLP-1 analogues was associated with an increased risk of bile duct and gallbladder disease. Physicians should be aware of this potential adverse event when prescribing these drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether the use of incretin based drugs, compared with sulfonylureas, is associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis. DESIGN Population based cohort study. SETTING 680 general practices in the United Kingdom contributing to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. PARTICIPANTS From 1 January 2007 to 31 March 2012, 20 748 new users of incretin based drugs were compared with 51 712 users of sulfonylureas and followed up until 31 March 2013. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for acute pancreatitis in users of incretin based drugs compared with users of sulfonylureas. Models were adjusted for tenths of high dimensional propensity score (hdPS). RESULTS The crude incidence rate for acute pancreatitis was 1.45 per 1000 patients per year (95% confidence interval 0.99 to 2.11) for incretin based drug users and 1.47 (1.23 to 1.76) for sulfonylurea users. The rate of acute pancreatitis associated with the use of incretin based drugs was not increased (hdPS adjusted hazard ratio: 1.00, 95% confidence interval 0.59 to 1.70) relative to sulfonylurea use. CONCLUSIONS Compared with use of sulfonylureas, the use of incretin based drugs is not associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis. While this study is reassuring, it does not preclude a modest increased risk, and thus additional studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
In the recent past, concerns have raised regarding the potential risk of acute pancreatitis among type 2 diabetic patients using incretin-based drugs such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between exposure to incretin-based drugs and the occurrence of pancreatitis reported in the French Pharmacovigilance Database. The case/non-case method was performed from serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs) involving antihyperglycemic agents (except insulin alone) reported to the French pharmacovigilance system between March 2008 (first marketing of an incretin-based drug in France) and March 2013. Cases were defined as reports of pancreatitis, and all other serious ADRs were considered non-cases. Disproportionality was assessed by calculating reporting odds ratios (ROR) adjusted for age, gender, history of pancreatitis, other antihyperglycemic drugs and other drugs associated with a higher risk of pancreatitis. Among 3,109 serious ADRs, 147 (4.7 %) reports of pancreatitis were identified as cases and 2,962 reports (95.3 %) of other ADRs as non-cases. Among the cases, 122 (83.0 %) involved incretin-based drugs. Disproportionality was found for all incretin-based drugs (adjusted ROR: 15.7 [95 % CI 9.8-24.9]), all GLP-1 analogs (29.4 [16.0-53.8]), exenatide (28.3 [12.8-62.3]), liraglutide (30.4 [15.4-60.0]), all DPP-4 inhibitors (12.1 [7.3-20.0]), sitagliptin (12.4 [7.3-21.0]), saxagliptin (15.1 [4.3-52.7]), and vildagliptin (7.4 [3.1-17.6]). Temporal analysis found disproportionality for incretin-based drugs since their first year of marketing in France. Compared with other antihyperglycemic agents, use of incretin-based drugs is associated with an increased risk of reported pancreatitis in France.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rare cases of acute hepatitis have been reported following injection, overdose, and even during the use of buprenorphine (BPN) at therapeutic doses, especially in carriers of hepatitis C virus (HCV). OBJECTIVES To report a case of acute hepatitis and renal failure related to intranasal BPN misuse in a HCV-negative patient and to analyze cases reported to the French postmarketing surveillance system (PMSS) of drugs and in the literature. METHODS All cases of hepatitis related to BPN reported to PMSS between January 1996 and December 2012 were analyzed. RESULTS A 42-year-old man with a history of intranasal BPN misuse (8 mg/d) for at least 10 years was admitted for flu-like symptoms and abdominal pain. At admission, the patient consumed alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco. Acute hepatitis and acute renal failure were diagnosed . Clinical signs and biological parameters resolved within 26 days. An objective causality assessment revealed that an adverse drug reaction (ADR) was possible. In the French PMSS database, 41 cases of suspected BPN-induced hepatitis are reported. In 36.6% of cases, BPN was misused by the intravenous route. In the literature, 16 cases of acute hepatitis related to BPN with or without renal failure are reported. In all cases, patients were HCV carriers. The primary mechanism of BPN-induced hepatitis is a mitochondrial dysfunction, exacerbated by cofactors (HCV, alcohol, and medications). CONCLUSION Intranasal misuse of BPN is increasingly frequent. We report here the first documented case of acute hepatitis and renal failure related to intranasal BPN misuse in a patient negative for HCV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data are available concerning the diversion and abuse of morphine sulfate. In France, morphine sulfate abuse is currently investigated by the health authorities. The aim of our study was to provide data on morphine sulfate abuse in France, collected during the period 1996-2011. METHODS The French monitoring system for psychoactive medication abuse collected data from several sources: spontaneous reporting of cases of abuse or dependence (NotS; 'Notifications Spontanées'), specific periodic surveys from specialized care centers (OPPIDUM; 'Observation des Produits Psychotropes Illicites ou Détournés de leur Utilisation Médicamenteuse'), and community pharmacists (OSIAP; 'Ordonnances Suspectes Indicateur d'Abus Possible'). RESULTS A total of 649 cases (75% men, median age: 34 years) were spontaneously reported: 578 cases of abuse and 71 cases of use as opiate maintenance treatment. The medication formulation was Skenan(®) (614 cases), and Moscontin(®) (35 cases). All surveys (NotS, OPPIDUM, and OSIAP) showed an overrepresentation of Skenan(®) (87.9-94.6% of cases) that was intravenously injected in 60.4-61.2% of the cases. Data analysis showed that patients abusing morphine sulfate have a long history of drug abuse and a history of polydrug use. CONCLUSION All the data presented in this study highlight the level of morphine sulfate abuse, specify the modalities of use (intravenous route), and show the risks associated with abuse (infectious diseases). This study outlines the usefulness of our epidemiological tools, and provides evidence supporting intensive surveillance.

Abstract
The aim is to compare the frequency of increased vibration perception threshold (VPT) with abnormal 10-g Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (SWF) testing in a non-selected diabetic population, and to assess the agreement between these two screening methods. VPT was measured using a neurothesiometer at the pulp of the hallux and 10-g SWF was applied on three plantar sites on each foot according to the guidelines of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot, in 400 consecutive diabetic patients. VPT was considered as abnormal if ≥25 V and SWF was considered as abnormal if the patient was unable to feel ≥2 applications at a single site. Both tests were normal in 240 patients (60%) and both abnormal in 78. In 21 patients, only SWF was abnormal whereas only VPT was abnormal in 61. As a whole, 160 patients (40%) were considered at risk for foot ulceration by VPT and/or SWF. Agreement between the two screening methods was only moderate with a kappa coefficient of 0·52 (95% CI: 0·43-0·60). Using VPT as a predictor for foot ulceration, the number of patients at risk is much higher than identified by SWF. This discrepancy might have potential effects on costs and prevention policies.
