Literature Surveillance in Pharmacovigilance; Current Trends, Methods and Challenges
Please join Elizabeth E. Garrard, PharmD, founder and CEO of Garrard Safety Solutions, as she reviews key issues in literature surveillance for Pharmacovigilance.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory obligations, best sources and procedures for conducting literature surveillance.
• Appreciate some examples of when a safety signal was detected in the literature and its impact on the lifecycle of a drug.
• Understand when to start and where to look for emerging safety information.
• Setting up your search strategy, how to ensure your search strings are well balanced, recognizing the challenges between precision and sensitivity.
• What is the impact of the new literature monitoring by EMA of a number of substances in selected medical literature to identify suspected adverse reactions with medicines authorized in the European Union. Early insights into successes and issues.
• Discuss current methods that can increase the likelihood of early detection of a safety issue and minimize the issues surrounding.
• Realize the challenges we face including wide differences in quality, accuracy, and completeness in the scientific literature and how best to navigate these differences and maintain proper vigilance.
Literature screening for pharmacovigilance 190818Marnix Wieffer
Biomedical literature is an important source of drug adverse event reporting and Pharmacovigilance. However, due to the high volume of literature, sub-optimal search strategies and regulatory pressure, pharmaceutical companies are struggling to screen biomedical literature in a compliant and cost-effective manner.
This slide deck describes how, through outsourcing, automation and prioritization technology, we can significantly improve efficiency and compliance of literature screening.

Literature Management for Pharmacovigilance: Outsource or in-house solution? ...Ann-Marie Roche
Pharmaceutical companies are required to screen scientific literature on a regular basis and this comes with many challenges, such as handling large amounts of data, building search strings and integrating EMA MLM results. Out-sourcing literature screening to service providers reduces the workload for the PV-team, but how does it impact the literature management process overall? Maybe it results in decreased oversight and additional activities like audits and reconciliation? And what about building the search strategy?
During this webinar our PV expert, Dr. Joyce De Langen spoke about the following:
• The importance of literature management in Pharmacovigilance and the challenges.
• An evaluation of the benefits and risks of outsourcing literature management versus alternative solutions.
About the speaker:
Joyce de Langen, Ph.D has more than 10 years of experience in the domain of pharmacovigilance and drug safety. Through her work in the pharmaceutical industry, academia and regulatory authorities, Joyce has developed a broad perspective and knowledge in pharmacovigilance and drug safety.

Pharmacovigilance is the science which deals with the activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of ADRs. The scope of Pharmacovigilance has evolved.
Embase for pharmacovigilance: Search and validation March 22 2017Ann-Marie Roche
Scientific literature plays a critical role in Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety workflows. Monitoring literature for mentions of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is mandated by regulatory bodies, and marketing authorization holders (MAHs) that do not properly report ADRs can be subject to heavy fines. With an increasing volume of unstructured content to cover, along with rising labor costs, MAHs are looking for ways to make their literature monitoring more effective and efficient.
Abstract and indexing (A&I) databases play an important role in Literature Monitoring – due to the vast amount of scientific literature published daily – in order for MAH’s to locate specific articles or conference presentations that may be relevant for their products (for both benefit/risk analysis and ADR detection). Rather than reading all the literature, MAH’s create search strategies that identify the relevant records in A&I databases and execute the searches regularly. GVP module VI mandates that searches are done at least weekly, but many companies maintain a daily monitoring and review cycle.

Existing pharmacovigilance post-market surveillance system is based on reporting of adverse drug reactions to national databases in real-time and post-marketing safety studies.
Quantitative evaluation of incidence, prevalence trends, and patterns of use from reporting data is problematic due to under-reporting and missing data on exposure. This is especially true if drugs are used off-label, in populations they were not intended for, or in combination with other medications.
While the case study below emphasizes post-market surveillance of marketed drugs, the same principles apply to other areas within clinical research and drug development, outcomes research, monitoring, and evaluation of the quality of provided care and pharmaco-economic applications.

Summary
• Scientific and medical literature is a relevant source of safety information
• Literature screening for single adverse drug reactions may indeed:
– improve patient safety
– impact the life cycle of a drug
• MAHs are facing a number of challenges with regard to literature
management for pharmacovigilance
• Outsourcing pharmacovigilance and investment in software solution may
support pharmaceutical companies in handling the challenges with literature
management for pharmacovigilance.
• Using software solutions allow you to have oversight on your CRO and
outsource (part of) the workload

Preventing Adverse Drug Reactions
Improves Public Health
• 5 % of all hospital admission in EU are related to adverse drug reactions
• 28% of patients visit emergency department of hospital due to adverse
events
• Averse drug reactions are the 5th most common cause of death of
hospitalized patients.
• Nearly 197,000 death per year due to adverse drug reactions
• Costs 75 Billion US Dollars per year
- Lazarou J et al. Incidence of ADRs in hospitalized patients. JAMA 1998, 279 (15) 1200-1205

Role of Literature in Pharmacovigilance
• Screening scientific & medical literature to
identify single adverse drug reactions or special
situations
• Systematic review of scientific & medical
literature for aggregated reporting (PSURs,
PBRERs, DSUR).
• Screening literature for signal detection and
assessment of validated signals.
6. 6
Literature is the 4th largest source of AE reporting
Adverse events reported in literature can have a high impact — major drug recalls
(e.g., Vioxx, Baycol) were initiated by published adverse reactions.
Often overlaps with reports from health professionals

Reported adverse events by report source,
Q2 & Q3 2013

What are your options?
Read all literature – Impossible
Use an A&I database
• Read all PubMed – Impossible
• Read all Embase – Impossible
Remaining option:
• Find and read only relevant records from literature databases
• Read the articles these records represent
24. 24
Searching for safety-relevant information
Optimize your search strategies by…
• Choosing the best source databases and search engines
• Creating the best possible search strategy and search terms
• Using the right search limits
• Using defined review criteria
25. 25
Choosing the best source database
• Search well recognized scientific and
medical journals
• Screening of well recognized medical
databases
– Embase
– Medline
– Cochrane Library
– CINAHL
– Other relevant databases
• Conference abstracts, draft manuscripts
• Local Language Journals
26. 26
Choice of source databases and Search Engines
• Databases differ in accessibility, coverage & overlap
• No single database has full sensitivity for literature screening
• Periodic literature search and review should be performed in
multiple, carefully selected databases
27. 27
Building an ideal search strategy
• Precision: How many of the records in the result set are relevant to my
need (and, as a consequence, how many are not relevant).
• Recall: From all records that are relevant to our need, how many are
present in the search result, and how many, if any, are relevant, but the
search formula failed to capture.
• In PV we want a Recall of 100%: NO RECORDS indicating that an
ADR is present in the article, are missed by the search formula
• Precision will impact productivity: Low values mean too much noise is
coming in: irrelevant records to review. But it can’t be increased at the
cost of Recall.
28. 28
Choice of search strategy
• In case of a very large number of results from the search strategy,
MAHs may prepare two different search strategies and run these
parallel on a weekly basis:
• One for ICSR detection
• One for PSUR detection
• Search strategy for ICSR detection can exclude records for
pharmaceutical forms or routes of administration that are not
approved for that MAH

Challenge: Inspections and Audit Preparedness
• Increased attention of regulators for literature screening since
introduction of GVP modules in 2012
• Proportion of major and minor findings related to literature screening
has increased since 2012
But it is not only about ‘not missing’ articles:
– List of journals & reference databases
– SOP(s)
– Search strategy
– Integration of EMA MLM results in your companies workflow
– Local language journals
– Oversight CRO/Service Providers
– Traceability

Monitoring Local Language Journals – most time-
consuming uncertainty in PV Literature Management
Customer’s Challenges
“Many local journals are not
included in international
databases, so we have to
monitor them separately”
“Without a database, I have to
read the articles one by one,
manually. I am always concerned
that there is a risk of missing
relevant content.”
“Time consuming”
Regulations
‘… monitor scientific and medical
publications in local journals in
countries where medicinal products
have a marketing authorization …’

Challenge: Monitoring Local Language Journals
List of Local Language Journals
• Do you know where to look to identify all relevant local language journals?
• Are you sure the company’s list of local language journals is exhaustive?

Challenge: EMA Medical Literature Monitoring
• EMA MLM Service: 300 active
substances, 100 herbals
• Since launch (July, 2015)
115,550 literature references
reviewed by EMA
• In total 1,464 Adverse Drug
Reactions were identified,
involving 756 individual
patients
http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Other/2015/05/WC500186732.pdf
37. 37
A significant workload remains for MAHs
• MAHs should still fulfill reporting requirements outside EU
• MAHs are still responsible for literature screening for aggregated
safety reporting
• MAHs are still responsible for monitoring scientific and medical
publications in local language journals
• MAHs need to integrate the dataflow resulting from the EMA MLM
Service into their existing workflow for literature management and
ICSR-management
39. 39
When does outsourcing help?
• In times of high workload, and no additional in-
house resources are available on short term
• When companies need to be flexible due to varying
workloads
• Outsourcing approach of ‘pay as you go’ allows you
to respond fully to regulatory obligations, without
the need of retaining a full pharmacovigilance team
on the payroll
• The benefits of outsourcing include reduced costs
because less effort is needed for staff recruitment,
management and training
• With stricter regulatory requirements, the hiring of
experienced safety personnel has become highly
competitive
