Planning and strategizing in the face of evolving regulatory guidelines: Report from the DIA Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Strategies Conference (PVRMS19)

Planning and strategizing in the face of evolving regulatory guidelines: Report from the DIA Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Strategies Conference (PVRMS19)

The PVRMS19 was presented at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington DC, January 2019. During the packed three-day event, we learned that many aspect governing the development and subsequent safe and effective use of medicines are in a state of flux… and so they should be. As we learn by our actions (triumphs and failures) we make adjustments to enhance the future investigations and create medicinal agents that are effective and safe, or more precisely, have a benefit that outweighs the risks.

E2B R3: the countdown is over

E2B R3: the countdown is over

After many years of planning, on 22nd November 2017 the EMA’s EudraVigilance system started accepting ICSRs submissions in the E2B R3 format. This was one amongst many changes made to EudraVigilance on this date, but implementation of R3 is certainly one of the most significant milestones. The switch from R2 to R3 is not simply a technical format change, but has potential upstream and downstream effects on case processing and other PV activities. Although there will be expected challenges in transitioning to a new ICSR format, there may also be unexpected benefits. Continue reading “E2B R3: the countdown is over” →

AdisInsight is PRIMEd

AdisInsight is PRIMEd

Adis adds PRIME status to AdisInsight drug profiles.

In 2016, the European Medicines Agency launched PRIME – a program to enhance support for the development of medicines that target an unmet medical need. This voluntary program is based on enhanced interaction and early dialogue with developers of promising medicine, to optimise development plans and speed up evaluation so that these medicines can reach patients earlier.

The nature of medicinal products is in a rapidly shifting world, with therapeutic innovation becoming a major global trend that is here to stay. The precision medicine approach and use of targeted therapies such as biologicals, gene therapy and stem cell therapy is weaving its way into standard practice but questions still remain about monitoring the long-term safety and efficacy of such advanced therapies. The DIA Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Strategies Conference set out to discuss some of the challenges and to provide an opportunity for pharmacovigilance professionals to share their experiences in these areas.

Meeting report: 3rd Annual Risk Management and Pharmacovigilance Summit, Vienna

Colleagues from SpringerNature recently took part in the 3rd Annual Risk Management and Pharmacovigilance summit in Vienna, with the following meeting report provided by Daniela Ranzani, Adis Business Intelligence Product Manager.

Traditional topics as well as best practice and case-study presentations remain at the core of the meeting, allowing attendees to share knowledge and diverse experiences. Regulation revisions were also discussed, with a spotlight on the GVP Modules V and IX updates. Attention to patients with dedicated programs was highlighted, and a presentation on social media listening reminded us all of the great power represented by such tools when used for PV, which also brings great challenges in terms of carefully managing this type of information.
