Drug Safety and Br-exit



There have been talks about what would happen once UK leaves EU which has put lot of QPPV (Qualified Persons Responsible for Pharmacovigilance) in UK in dilemma as the regulations say that the QPPV should be a part of the EU, with the impact Brexit it will hit the pharmacovigilance system in UK as EU would not be obliged to carry out Post marketing surveillance in UK.


Currently June Raine who is chairing the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee ( part of the European Medical Agency, in which there are two members from each member state) is from the Medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (MHRA) of the UK.

There have been discussions about QPPV who still want to be a part of EU which might eventually lead to a negotiation between EMA and UK to collaborate pharmacovigilance activities together, as pharmacovigilance is above politics.

What is a ‘backward forward convertor’ ?

Did you know that ICH has a backward forward conversion (BFC) tool which was build using eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLTs) ? This language basically transforms a XML file of a given format into another XML file of a different format. The BFC tool requires a program that understands XSLT language to make conversion of E2B (R2) to E2B (R3) and vice versa. Now considering this, the European medical agency has improvised the BFC tool with additional fields as per the EU implementation guide. The EU version of the amended BFC tool has been published on the EMA website. The key files in the BFC package includes downgrade-icsr.xsl; which downgrades E2B (R3) file into E2B (R2) and upgrade-icsr.xsl; which upgrades E2B (R2) file into an E2B (R3) file. The acknowledgement convertors include downgrade-ack.xsl and upgrade-ack.xsl What are the technical limitations of BFC tools? However, the conversion using BFC has some major limitations. When converting I

MHRA’s Black Triangle Report

In United Kingdom, there are certain drugs in which although they were granted marketing approval by the Medicines and healthcare product regulatory agency (MHRA), they need to be closely monitored, since limited information were available about these drugs.  One of the key reasons attributed to this may be, less subjects being enrolled in the clinical trials, short therapy duration etc.…thus, in order to identify rare adverse reactions, effect of the drug in different populations or effect of the drug under different co-morbidities, such drugs are tagged with an inverted black triangle ( ▼ ) on their package insert, to ensure that these drugs are intensively monitored. The Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) and MHRA encourages expedited reporting within 15 calendar days of all such drugs with an inverted black triangle symbol if, found to have caused serious or non-serious adverse drug reaction. You may find the black triangle drugs at the Electronic
