Vismodegib and Sonidegib Are Associated With an Elevated Reporting Odds of Squamous Cell Carcinoma; a Comparative Pharmacovigilance Study of the <scp>FDA</scp> Adverse Events Reporting System ( <scp>FAERS</scp> )
Vismodegib has a significantly higher ROR for alopecia and taste symptoms, while sonidegib was associated with neutropenia, which is a novel finding. Both HIs are associated with an increased ROR for cSCC, which persists despite stringent controls and does not parallel total cSCC cases reported to FAERS. These data suggest that HIs increase the risk of cSCC above the baseline expected in this patient population.
