How automation will help to overcome the current challenges in pharmacovigilance (PV) operations

Pharmacovigilance (PV) is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem. There are many significant approaches were considered while developing the overall process of pharmacovigilance i.e. how these activities like detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention will be carried out in actual PV operations. The significant approach towards pharmacovigilance planning was initially developed by EMA via proposing the GVP module-VI (i.e. Guideline on...

PvD’code: A Smart EV triage solution

New Eudravigilance system was launched on November 22nd, 2017, and a prominent revision was made via transition of technical transmission of Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) from ICH E2B (R2) to ICH E2B (R3) format. ICH E2B (R3) format proposed a new opportunity to gain greater insights into ICSRs and the benefit-risk profile of medicines due to the improved visibility of the data and the quality of ICSRs. This upgrade, however, also introduced the industry to technical challenges which required detailed preparation and a lengthy planning to maintain regulatory compliance, as increasing...

Automated literature surveillance: A much needed enhancement for Marketing authorization holders and Service providers in pharmacovigilance (PV)

The medical literature monitoring (MLM) is a significant source of information for the monitoring of the safety profile and of the risk-benefit balance of medicinal products, particularly in relation to the detection of new safety signals or emerging safety issues. Hence, it is important to review suspected adverse reaction gathered from scientific journals, medical researcher, relevant published abstract and draft manuscripts. Need for medical literature monitoring (MLM) Marketing authorization holders (MAH) are therefore expected to maintain awareness...

Artificial intelligence and Machine learning in Pharmacovigilance (PV) operations

Much of the effort in PV is focused on identifying, collecting, evaluating, and transforming relevant data into usable information for regulators and companies to address safety concerns and inform the public and prescribers. The volume of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) increases yearly, but it is estimated that more than 90% of AEs go unreported. Also, there is an unprecedented rise in data volumes coming from journals, patents, articles, social media, and non-standardized data sources. The...
