Our services include drafting, reviewing and providing full support for the management of the Pharmacovigilance System Master File PSMF, ensuring complete adherence to regulatory requirements. Our template is a dynamic document, systematically updated and managed proactively and in interaction with the Client.
Our Risk Management experts may help you drafting, reviewing and submit an RMP classifying important, identified and potential risks. Additionally, we help our Clients in establishing appropriate RMMs to maximise the use of your products and increase the safety of your products.
We take care of all aspects of Eudravigilance registration and maintenance, providing you qualified and trained users to manage all modules embedded within the European database.
We consider pharmacovigilance a cross-cutting element of your organization by implementing a Quality System that clearly describes internal and external communication processes to ensure that safety information is exchanged effectively within the Pharmacovigilance system.
This starts with the drafting of an ad-hoc quality manual
From PSURs to “Signal Detection” or signal search through RMPs and ACOs, our service includes planning, reviewing and submitting aggregate reports. A constant update of the risk/benefit ratio as well as the efficacy and safety of products is ensured by our team of technical and medical experts. Analysis and monitoring activities are performed throughout the drug lifecycle, from the clinical development phase to commercialization.
The service is highly customisable according to requirements. In addition to the systematic global literature review service, we undertake medical analysis of specialised databases and local literature analysis.
With an average of 20,000 ICSRs handled each year, our service ranges from case collection to the evaluation of individual procedural steps, from the rental of the Security Database to the regulatory submission of ICSRs.
Our experience combined with our procedures and resources enables us to deliver these services efficiently and in a highly customisable manner:
- Data entry
- Medical evaluations
- ICSR Submissions
- Quality Control
- ICSR validation
- Safety database
Our safety database is implemented and validated based on the GAMP5 guidelines.
Each customer has its own specific site within the software, managed with a certified process. Our database has Oracle software that ensures adherence to EMA and FDA requirements. All ICSRs are tracked in the database to produce CIOMS, Line listings, reports and summary tabulations, such as Signal Detection, Data Reconciliation and General Reports.
The management of third parties, including business partners, vendors and providers is a key process within the pharmacovigilance system. We take care of your partners and vendors, activating pharmacovigilance and SDEA Safety Data Exchange Agreements and ensuring that pharmacovigilance activities are conducted in compliance with them.
Through timely and appropriate submission of ICSRs, we ensure the highest level of adherence to regulatory requirements and third-party expectations. We achieve these results through our established procedures and dedicated staff.
In collaboration with our Clinical Research Department, we ensure that all pharmacovigilance data from clinical studies are timely and properly managed, guaranteeing patient safety throughout the entire study duration.
We support sponsors in managing the full scope of Safety Data Management activities, including:
Safety Data Management Plan (SDMP) development and implementation
Handling of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs)
Preparation and submission of Development Safety Update Reports (DSURs)
