Abstract: Objective To comprehensively and systematically explore the possible adverse drug reactions (ADR) of ibrutinib, and provide references for clinicians’ safe medication. Methods The ADR signals of ibrutinib were mined on the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database using Information Component (IC) method. Results A total of 20 120 ADR reports of ibrutinib were included in FAERS database from the construction of the library to Jun 1, 2021, and 446 positive signals were detected, including two strong ADR signals with IC025>5, which were Richter syndrome (IC025 =5.67) and cerebral aspergillosis (IC025 =5.05). The top 3 ADR were atrial fibrillation (n=982, IC025=3.33, IC=3.44), fatigue (n=958, IC025=0.36, IC=0.47), diarrhea (n=931, IC025=0.64, IC=0.75), the reports of which also exceed 900. Conclusion Ibrutinib has more widespread ADR in multiple systems. Clinicians should pay full attention to its ADR, and take corresponding measures in time to ensure the safety of patients’ medication.
