Abstract: Objective To explore active monitoring methods of capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome. Methods Retrospective risk signal mining was performed on patients who had been hospitalized in Beijing Hospital and taken capecitabine between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021 using the PASS ADR. Manual causality evaluation and screening were performed on suspected cases of capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome, and the clinical characteristics, therapeutic drugs, treatments and outcomes of the positive cases of capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome were analyzed. Results A total of 257 inpatients were treated with capecitabine in the course of monitoring, 35 of whom had risk signals of hand-foot syndrome detected through PASS ADR. Through manual screening and causality evaluation, 14 patients with capecitabine-related drug-induced hand-foot syndrome were finally obtained. The incidence of capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome was 5.45%, and the correct rate of identification by the active monitoring system was 40.0%. Conclusion Active monitoring can effectively improve the sensitivity of ADR monitoring and early detection of mild adverse reactions.
