Signal mining and analysis of influencing factors for adverse events of Nivolumab and Cetuximab in the treatment of head and neck cancer based on the US FAERS database
This study represents the first FAERS-based assessment of ADE risk differences between Nivolumab and Cetuximab in HNC, offering valuable evidence for clinical monitoring and drug selection. As signal detection reflects statistical correlation rather than causality, confirmatory clinical validation remains necessary. Integration of real-world evidence with prospective clinical trials will be essential to enhance drug safety evaluation systems.
