Clinical Features of Oxaliplatin-induced Hypersensitivity Reactions in Chinese Patients: A Retrospective Multicenter Analysis

摘要

Objective The characteristics of oxaliplatin-induced hypersensitivity reactions(HSRs)in Chinese patients were investigated to provide a reference for patients treated with oxaliplatin.Methods The study reviewed the records of patients who developed oxaliplatin-induced HSRs in 17 hospitals from May 2016 to May 2017.We collected and analyzed the basic information,history of oxaliplatin administration and premedication treatments,chemotherapy cycles,HSR symptoms,and the management and outcomes of these patients.Results Oxaliplatin-induced HSRs were recorded in 137 patients who had been treated with oxaliplatin-containing regimens.Five different chemotherapy regimens were applied.The median infusion cycle when oxaliplatin-induced HSRs occurred was 7,and HSRs occurred during or shortly after oxaliplatin infusion.Most of the patients experienced grade 1 or grade 2 HSRs with mild symptoms of pruritis(49.64%),flushing(46.72%),chest discomfort(26.28%),and urticaria(25.55%).The majority of the patients completely recovered from HSRs following treatment with antihistamines and dexamethasone.Seven patients completed chemotherapy with oxaliplatin after the symptoms resolved with proper management.Conclusion The results indicate that oxaliplatin-induced HSRs remain an important issue in safely and successfully fulfilling oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy.Further studies are needed to analyze the risk factors and establish prophylaxis for such reactions.
