Assessing hemorrhagic risks in combination therapy: implications of angiogenesis inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors by Yuhui Yang, Yuhui Yang, Yuhui Yang, Pingping Long, Pingping Long, Ying Tuo, Ying Tuo, Xiaoxiao Wang

“…In the combination group, esophageal variceal hemorrhage (ROR 40.72, PRR 2344.72) and tumor hemorrhage (ROR 19.31, PRR 1056.63) exhibited significantly increased risks Additive and multiplicative models indicated that the excess risk (RDAB = 0.01025, P<0.001) and relative risk (RRAB = 1.99277, P<0.001) of combination therapy were significantly higher than those of monotherapy, suggesting a positive interaction between the drugs that further increases the risk of hemorrhage.ConclusionOur study demonstrates that the combination of AGIs and ICIs significantly raises the risk of hemorrhage, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced monitoring protocols in clinical practice to improve treatment efficacy and safety.…”
