Clinical course: Solicited report by a consumer of a 69 year old female with events of small tumor on thyroid, blood clot on both legs, coughing and shortness of breath and non-serious lungs issue caused by methotrexate, after surgery shaking a bit, tired and cloudy weather caused to feel down a bit with HUMIRA 40MG/0.4ML (ADALIMUMAB). The patient had a relevant medical history of hiatal hernia and blood clots on both legs. On unknown dates, the patient experienced lungs issue caused by methotrexate, after surgery shaking a bit and cloudy weather caused to feel down a bit. In 2016, the patient experienced blood clot on both legs. In Sep2020, the patient experienced small tumor on thyroid. On 01Sep2020, the patient experienced coughing and shortness of breath. In Jan2021, the patient experienced tired. In Jan2021, the tired resolved. Methotrexate and covid-19 vaccine were also considered suspect. In Sep2020, the patient was admitted in hospital for cough, shortness of breath and was treated with unknown oral and intravenous antibiotics. While she was in the hospital, it was discovered that she had a tumor on her thyroid. She had stayed a week in hospital. She also had a lung issue. It was discovered lots of scar tissue on lungs and according to the physician it might be from patient's lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or methotrexate. The physician said that it was caused by the methotrexate not the Humira. Methotrexate was stopped for her. Patient denied to have pulmonary fibrosis and said that according to her doctor she did not have it and she did not know her diagnosis as it was not discussed with her doctors. For problems in lungs, patient was on oxygen. Patient was off of Humira for three weeks. She had surgery on thyroid biopsy. After the surgery she was shaking a bit. She thought it was because of the anesthesia but she was fine shortly after. The biopsy results were inconclusive which looked like it was not cancerous but physician could not really tell patient if it was or it was not. On unknown date in 2020, patient had restarted Humira again. On 04Dec2020, patient had thyroid tumor removed and was on oxygen until 11Jan2021. Sometimes the cloudy weather caused patient to feel down a bit. She did not have any paper work for the blood test. It was unknown if patient was enrolled in a covid-19 vaccine trial. In Jan2021, patient received 1st dose covid-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer. On 15Feb2021, patient received 2nd dose covid-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer. The reported events except for coughing were serious as medically significant. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included biopsy: inconclusive in Oct2020 and in Dec2020, biopsy of tumor: inconclusive in Sep2020, blood test: unknown results in 2020, computerised tomogram of chest: unknown results in Oct2020, COVID-19 TEST: negative in 2020 and in 2020.  The action taken in response to the events for bnt162b2 was not applicable, for methotrexate sodium was permanently withdrawn on an unspecified date, for adalimumab was dose not changed.   The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the events with the suspect products bnt162b2 and methotrexate sodium was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment.  Pfizer is a marketing authorization holder of methotrexate sodium in the country of incidence or the country where the product was purchased (if different). This may be a duplicate report if another marketing authorization holder of methotrexate sodium has submitted the same report to the regulatory authorities.  Information on Lot/Batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Considering temporal relationship, a possible contribution role of vaccination with BNT162B2 to the onset of events, cannot be completely excluded. The case will be reassessed should additional information become available.  The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics Committees and Investigators, as appropriate.
