Kinase inhibitors are a successful category of therapeutics used in treating diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity, and neurodegeneration. Despite their efficacy, these drugs often present clinically relevant adverse events that can limit their therapeutic utility or lead to their failure in clinical trials. The adverse event profile of a kinase inhibitor can be explained by its off- and on-target binding profile. Unfortunately, there are limited resources to couple inhibition of a specific kinase to clinical adverse events. Discerning which adverse events can be attributed to a specific kinase, and which are more generally caused by the kinase inhibitor drug class, is crucial for designing next-generation drugs that avoid toxicity and enhance clinical viability. By integrating adverse event incident data from the FDA Adverse Events Reporting Database with machine learning-predicted molecular binding profiles, we developed a statistical method that associates specific adverse events with potent inhibition of certain kinases. We also identify general adverse events inherent to the kinase inhibitor class. We validate our model through an extensive literature review of known kinase-adverse event pairs, comparison with the OnSIDES drug label side effect dataset, and prospective prediction of adverse events of recently approved kinase inhibitors. We show that our method can recapitulate well-established kinase-toxicity associations and identify previously unreported kinases associated with adverse events.

Author DeclarationsI confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained.
Yes
I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals.
Yes
I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance).
Yes
