Popis: Background: With the increasing prescription of reslizumab for severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype, a real-world pharmacovigilance analysis of reslizumab is urgently required to detect potential unreported adverse events (AEs) in clinical practice. Objectives: We aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of reslizumab-related AEs in the real world. Design: Disproportionality analysis based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods: Reslizumab-related AEs between the second quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2022 from the FAERS database were obtained. A disproportionality analysis was performed to evaluate the safety profile of reslizumab using the reporting odds ratio. Results: A total of 10,450,353 reports were collected from the FAERS database. Of the 403 reslizumab-related AEs, 42 distinct AEs were identified with positive signals. The most common AEs including dyspnea and oropharyngeal pain were identified, consistent with the instruction and clinical studies. Unexpected AEs of disproportionality such as bronchospasm and chest pain were also observed. Drug ineffective was identified as a noteworthy concern that accounted for 13.90% (56/403) of the overall reslizumab-related reports. Conclusion: While reslizumab offered a promising treatment option for severe eosinophilic asthma, more attention should be paid to the common AEs and new unexpected AEs. Based on the current findings of signal detection, further prospective studies are needed for the next signal validation and confirmation.
