Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical applications of new monoclonal antibody antitumor drugs in a hospital and analyze the rationality and safety of related medications in order to provide data for regulation and safe use of novel anticancer drugs. Methods A total of 480 medical records of inpatients who had used novel monoclonal antibody antitumor drugs from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 were randomly chosen from a hospital and the rationality and safety of clinical applications were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 480 medical records, there were 125 cases of improper use of medicines, accounting for 26% of the total and involving off-label drug use(27.2%), wrong usage and dosage(41.6%), improper pretreatment drug use(20.0%), and imperfect solvent selection and dosage of solvents (11.2%).There were 362 cases of adverse drug reactions (ADR) found in these medical records. The top three organ-system ADRs were skin mucosal injury (20.8%), infusion related reactions (19.7%) and digestive system injury (14.7%). Conclusion The clinical use of new monoclonal antibody antitumor drugs is imperfect in this hospital. The hospital should regulate and rationally use new antitumor drugs according to the latest clinical guidelines, be alert to their adverse reactions, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug use.
