The aim of Safety reports is describe the safety during the lifecycle of the medicinal product. These reports are necessary during development as well as during the authorization process or renewal. In addition, several of these reports may be required by Health Authorities in case of safety concerns.
This presentation contains a full overview about periodic safety update reports and all the information related with it.
“Regulatory writing department at Turacoz have the expertise to develop various regulatory documents such as Investigator Brochures (IBs), Protocols, Clinical Study Reports (CSRs), Common Technical Documents (CTDs) and pharmacovigilance documents such as Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs) and Risk Management Plans (RMPs). In these slides, we have presented an overview on Periodic safety update reports (PSURs) and also the guidelines such GVP modules and ICH E2c. We have also discussed the changes from old PSUR format to new Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report (PBRER) format.”

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 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 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.

Bayesian estimations of strong toxic signals [compatibility mode]Bhaswat Chakraborty
“Signals” of adverse drug reactions are, according to WHO, “reported information on a possible causal relationship between an adverse event and a drug, the relationship being unknown or incompletely documented previously. Usually more than a single report is required to detect a signal, depending on the seriousness of the event and the quality of the information.” Once a signal is detected, one can then analyze and confirm it. In detecting signals from large adverse drug reaction (ADR) databases, however, one has to use a procedure that is sensitive (low false negativity) and specific (high true positivity) for the purpose. A whole range of statistical methods have been applied for data mining and signal detection (SD) in pharmacovigilance (PV). My talk would be on Bayesian methods for SD.
The US FDA uses a Bayesian data mining approach developed by William DuMouchel called multi-item gamma poisson shrinker (MGPS). WHO also uses a Bayesian method (Andrew Bate) based on a Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN). These estimates provide shrinkage towards zero of the observed to expected number of ADRs, e.g., the empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM) or information component (IC). These Bayesian estimators are robust measures of ADR-drug association.
Bayesian approaches are intuitively appealing when very small numbers are involved and where there is a need of continuous reassessment of probability of association with the acquisition of new data over time. Bayesian estimates such as EBGM are close to null hypothesis of independence even when the data is scarce. For example, if the EBGM is 5 for a drug-renal toxicity combination, then this drug-event combination occurred, on an average, 5 times more frequently than expected in the data set. Several examples Bayesian SD will be given from current research projects.
What are some of the challenges in pharmacovigilance? This presentation offers you more information on signal detection, signal management and risk minimisation measures.

Safety & Regulatory Solutions for Small and Medium-sized Life Science Organiz...Covance
A key issue for small and medium-sized enterprises is the optimal utilization of their limited resources for moving their product pipeline through clinical development, and launching and marketing their approved product(s). This is further heightened as both clinical trials and post-marketing activities continue to grow in complexity and scope due to stringent regulatory pressures, patient involvement and globalization. Yet companies face overwhelming pressure to get their product to market as quickly as possible.
Risk-based Monitoring Strategies for Improved Clinical Trial PerformanceCognizant
To address draft regulatory guidance for risk-based clinical trial monitoring, sponsors should consider strategies that utilize social, mobile, analytics and cloud technologies to create responsive methodologies that satisfy both the spirit and the letter of these new guidelines.

The successful development of a biosimilar presents unique challenges compared to that of an innovator biologic. In particular, one must prove the biosimilar candidate's structural and functional differences do not have a meaningful impact on the clinical safety and efficacy profile already established for the innovator. Comprehensive and rigorous analytical testing to assess biosimilarity is thus the foundation upon which the successful development of a biosimilar begins.
TRI was founded as a subsidiary of Triumph Consultancy Services in 2013, following 12 years of consulting to the clinical trial industry. TRI has been evaluating the specific challenges facing the industry when implementing a risk-based monitoring strategy and the various approaches and products being utilized by organizations as they move into the RBM arena. This paper aims to summarize our findings and provide guidance as to how the main challenges can be overcome.
