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...

Pharmacovigilance system- Industry perspective, Market size and Operations

Monitoring adverse drug reaction is an essential component in patient safety. In the last decade we have seen how technology has influenced the entire healthcare system, leading to patient awareness, thus making the pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities to invest more time and resource in monitoring adverse events. Pharmacovigilance as per WHO is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem Pharmacovigilance is the study of adverse events taking into account all the plausible relationship or untoward medical occurrence which the patent experienced after taking the drug and then using standard set of coordinated activities which involves first collecting adverse event reports either via telephone, email, social network, lay press , media. After adverse event reports are filed we then process and assess these reports in database to determine if indee...

Artificial Intelligence Seeing through the lens of Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance as we know is a science with a set of pre defined functions to collect, analyse, monitor adverse event reports in understanding the safety profile of drug. The set pre defined functions would include case processing through data entry of adverse event forms into safety database, medical review, aggregate reporting, signal detection, risk evaluation and mitigation strategies. With patients awareness and regulatory compliance we may have seen a surge of adverse event data over last few years , resulting in the urgent need for the application of automation. Pharmacovigilance is the only discipline where in which timelines and quality data are evaluated on a benchmark of 100 % and a compromise in these two parameters are considered to be a zero tolerance. Automation of above pre defined function is possible through machine learning, which is an integral components of Artificial Intelligence. What is Artificial Intelligence ?     ...
