AIM: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of published clinical trials to determine incidence rate and overall risk of hypertension with vandetanib in cancer patients. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search for studies published up to March 2012 was performed. Summary incidence rates, relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated employing fixed- or random-effects models depending on the heterogeneity of the included trials. RESULTS: A total of 11 trials with 3154 patients were included for the meta-analysis. The summary incidences of all-grade and high-grade hypertension in patients with cancer were 24.2% [95% confidence interval (CI), 18.1-30.2%] and 6.4% (95% CI, 3.3-9.5%), respectively. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the pooled incidences of all-grade and high-grade hypertension were 21.8% [95% CI, 15-30.5%] and 7.6% (95% CI, 2.8-18.8%), respectively, among non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and 32.1% (95% CI: 27.3-37.3%) and 8.8% (5.9%-12.9%), respectively, among MTC patients, and 15.4 (95% CI: 3.2-33.7%) and 3.4% (95% CI: 1%-11.1%) respectively, among non-MTC/NSCLC tumors patients. Furthermore, vandetanib was associated with a significant increased risk of all-grade hypertension (RR 5.1, 95% CI: 3.76-6.92, P = 0.000) and high-grade hypertension (RR 8.06, 95% CI: 3.41-19.04, P = 0.000) in comparison with controls. CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant risk of developing hypertension in cancer patients receiving vandetanib. Appropriate monitoring and treatment is strongly recommended to prevent cardiovascular complications.
