The ‘new’ EUDRAVIGILANCE

European Medical Agency would be releasing a new version of EudraVigilance system, which is expected to go live in November 2017, EMA in their report mentioned that they would be publishing a checklist of readiness for all the stakeholders to prepare them for the changes which will come along with the launch of the revised version of EudraVigilance, for which EMA also intends to provide eLearning modules, support webinars and face to face training.

The prototype of EudraVigilance test environment or XCOMP is already scheduled to be released June 2017 which will let all the National competent authorities to test Individual case safety reports in E2B R3 versions.

We at Think I are also driven to produce Pharmacovigilance safety  database solutions using cloud based technology which are not only cost effective and user friendly but also fully validated for quick, easy import, entry and electronic submissions of adverse event.

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...

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 ?     ...

What is an IDMP and its application in Pharmacovigilance?

In response to the demand for internationally harmonized detail of medicinal products, the IDMP which comprises of a set of five ISO norms provides the basis of identifying medicinal products. IDMP standard readily facilitates ICSR (Individual Case Safety Report) submission to regulatory agencies. The message specification in IDMP protects the integrity of medicinal product information when submitting cases to the regulatory agency. HL-7 transmissions are within the IDMP standards Health Level 7- is an international standard for facilitating data exchange between the safety/ clinical database and the regulatory agency. The five ISO norms comprise of ISO 11238 pertains to general characteristics of regulated medicinal products specifying where the product is an active pharmaceutical ingredient or an adjuvant. ISO 11238 also describes the grade of product used (purity, manufacturing information etc.…) ISO 11239 pertains to regulated information on packaging, dosage form, route ...
