摘　　要：Background:Taxanes are an essential class of antineoplastic agents used to treat various cancers and are a fundamental cause of hypersensitivity reactions.In addition,other adverse events,such as bone marrow toxicity and peripheral neuropathy,can lead to chemotherapy discontinuation.This study aimed to evaluate the safety of taxanes in the real world.Methods:Taxane-associated adverse events were identified by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities Preferred Terms and analyzed and compared by mining the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System pharmacovigilance database from January 2004 to December 2019.Reported adverse events,such as hypersensitivity reaction,bone marrow toxicity,and peripheral neuropathy,were analyzed with the following signal detection algorithms:reporting odds ratio(ROR),proportional reporting ratio(PRR),multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker(MGPS),Bayesian confidence propagation neural network(BCPNN),and logistic regression methods.Adverse outcome events and death outcome rates were compared between different taxane groups using Pearson'sχ^(2) test,whereas significance was determined at P<0.05 with a 95%confidence interval(CI).Results:A total of 966 reports of hypersensitivity reactions,1109 reports of bone marrow toxicity,and 1374 reports of peripheral neuropathy were analyzed.Compared with paclitaxel and docetaxel,bone marrow toxicity following the use of nab-paclitaxel had the highest ROR of 6.45(95%two-sided CI,6.05–6.88),PRR of 5.66,(χ^(2)=4342.98),information component of 2.50(95%one-sided CI=2.34),and empirical Bayes geometric mean of 5.64(95%one-sided CI=5.34).Peripheral neuropathy following the use of nab-paclitaxel showed a higher ROR of 12.78(95%two-sided CI,11.55–14.14),PRR of 12.16(χ^(2)=4060.88),information component of 3.59(95%one-sided CI=3.25),and empirical Bayes geometric mean of 12.07(95%one-sided CI=11.09).Conclusions:The results showed that bone marrow toxicity and peripheral neuropathy were the major adverse events induced by taxanes.Na
