Wild Ride
100

Periodic aggregate report used to assess the overall 

benefit-risk profile of marketed products


PERIODDIC BENEFIT-RISK EVALUATION REPORT

100

Acts as key support to GSO for SER development

PHARMACOVIGILANCE SCIENTIST (PVS)

100

PBRER and DSUR need the SER’s conclusion from here

SOLAR / Signal Management Tool

100

In order to have smooth, effective and quality KSD,

this is done rigorously

ROUTINE SAFETY SURVEILLANCE

100

In this PBRER section issues related to the use of the product are described, as well as patterns if any, and the root cause of the events are explained

PBRER MEDICATION ERRORS (9.2)

200

Describes assessment of a safety topic after a signal is validated

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT

200

Responsible for establishing, driving and communicating the safety strategy that governs the monitoring and surveillance of product risks and safety issues

GLOBAL SAFETY OFFICER (GSO)

200

PV associates need to have this type of mindset for the

PBRER Evaluation of risks and new information (16.3)

STRATEGIC

200

Routine safety surveillance is connected to these four

KSD covered in this learning journey

SER, HHE, PBRER, HASR response

200

This safety strategy of monitoring must be put in place by the GSO and must be available as soon as the new product is on the market

LIST OF SAFETY TOPICS

300

Defines and documents the safety monitoring strategy

through the development phases of the product

DEVELOPMENT RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN

300

Sends Rapid Quality Notification and HHE request

form to GPV mailbox

QUALITY INDUSTRIAL AFFAIRS

300

GSO and PVS need these  two to narrow down cases retrieved to only the relevant cases for SER assessment

CASE DEFINITION AND STRATEGY

300

This might need to be updated after a signal has been categorized as important risk

RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN (RMP)

300

This is a tool available to use when mapping PBRER sections related to signal and risk evaluation that could be impacted by new safety information

SIGNAL AND RISK FLOWCHART

400

The Reference Safety Information until the

product is marketed

INVESTIGATOR’S BROCHURE

400

Receives HASRs from  EMA and FDA

GLOBAL REGULATORY AFFAIRS (GRA)

400

This needs to be consistent in the BR section of the PBRER, and in other corresponding sections of KSD based on the available studies and safety evaluations

BR PROFILE/MESSAGE ON EFFICACY AND SAFETY

400

These two KSD have the following similar sections: ‘Safety Findings from Marketing Experience’, ‘Evaluation of Risks’, ‘Benefit-Risk Considerations’, ‘Summary of Important Risks’

DSUR AND PBRER

400

This safety governance body endorses, for example, the safety evaluation done by the GSO of a potentially life-threatening impact of a product defect in patients

SIGNAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (SMC)

500

Detailed report consisting of the methods and results of a clinical trial both for efficacy and safety data incorporating also the relevant safety narratives

CLINICAL STUDY REPORT

500

2 strong non-PV contributors in providing the insights for the anticipated efficacy & benefit of DSUR’s BR considerations section

(PRODUCT) CLINICAL AND  MEDICAL (LEAD)

500

Health authorities need these 2 pieces of information for the description of a pattern of a medication error on top of Description of error, Number of occurrences up to data lock point, Comments

ANALYSIS OF CAUSE, STEPS TAKEN TO PREVENT

THE ERROR

500

Two KSD recommended to be prepared in parallel during clinical development

IB AND DSUR

500

This result of an annual survey determines the product’s aggregate Signal Detection review periodicity
