Contenuto del corso

Recently, some of the most common critical findings in regulatory pharmacovigilance inspections are being given for signal detection and management, so the need to identify potential signals and risks in patients has increasing importance. The protection of patients through robust and clear methodologies for signal detection amidst the ever-increasing regulations requires companies to have trained and competent staff to perform such activities. This course will provide a detailed overview of all aspects of safety reviews and signal detection within a company and will cover signal evaluation for both innovator and generic products as required by regulations.

Cosa saprai fare dopo il corso?

  • Apply the concepts and principles of signal management in PV and implement or improve this process in their own organisation
  • Understand different approaches to signal management that are followed by various organisations
  • Understand different approaches to signal detection for different medicines
  • Understand the concept of signal detection algorithm (SDA), signal of disproportionate reporting (SDR) and its use in EVDAS
  • Learn how to use and implement EVDAS into signal management process
  • Understand the role of signal detection in the assessment of emerging safety profiles of medicine
  • Understand the regulatory expectations in different geographic regions
