Disseminated intravascular coagulation is an underestimated but fatal adverse event associated with blinatumomab therapy: A pharmacovigilance analysis of FAERS

Hematologic adverse events (AEs) are common and serious toxicities in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing blinatumomab therapy. However, restrictive selection criteria in pivotal clinical trials can lead to an underestimation of rare but fatal toxicities. In this study, we systematically analyzed hematologic AEs associated with blinatumomab using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from October 2014 to December 2023. Disproportionate analysis was performed to identify overreported AEs, with a reporting odds ratio (ROR), and a lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (ROR
