Abstract

Abstract Background This study was conducted to identify factors associated with the safety and effectiveness of pembrolizumab in Japanese patients with unresectable urothelial carcinoma and to confirm the real-world safety and effectiveness of pembrolizumab in Japanese patients. Methods This multicenter, observational, post-marketing surveillance was conducted over a 1-year observation period starting at pembrolizumab initiation (200-mg pembrolizumab every 3 weeks); data were collected from case report forms (3 months and 1 year). Safety measures included treatment-related adverse events and adverse events of special interest (AEOSI). Effectiveness assessments included tumor response, objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Results Overall, 1293 patients were evaluated for safety and 1136 for effectiveness. At 12 months, the treatment-related adverse event incidence was 53.8% (n = 696) and that of AEOSI was 25.0% (n = 323). The most frequent AEOSI of any grade were endocrinological disorder (10.4%, n = 134), interstitial lung disease (ILD) (7.2%, n = 93), and hepatic function disorder (4.9%, n = 64). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the risk of developing ILD was almost seven times greater (odds ratio 6.60) in patients with a comorbidity of ILD, and approximately twice as high in patients aged ≥ 65 years (odds ratio 2.24) and with smoking history (odds ratio 1.79). The ORR was 26.1% and the DCR was 50.7%. The ORR was 46.4% in patients with a Bellmunt risk score of 0 and decreased as the Bellmunt risk score increased. Conclusions This post-marketing surveillance confirmed the safety and effectiveness of pembrolizumab in Japanese patients with unresectable urothelial carcinoma in the real-world setting.
