Following the upgrade by the European Medicines Agency on 22 November 2017, ICSRs for all adverse reactions (serious and non-serious) experienced within the EU are required to be submitted to EudraVigilance.
ICSR format is precise and exacting and includes:
You also need to be sure that detailed Safety Data Exchange Agreements (SDEAs) exist regarding relevant information exchanges (including information from periodic Literature Searching) with any of your contractors. SDEAs must be formulated to ensure compliance with the interim and final arrangements.
Advice from our drug safety services consultants ensures that:
PrimeVigilance uses Argus Oracle Health Sciences leading safety database. With over 10 years dedicated to providing pharmacovigilance services, our employees have been processing Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSR) and drug safety data for many years. Our system server is secure, with appropriate backup and disaster recovery programs in place.
We offer a cost-effective solution for managing your legacy safety data as well as taking care of your company’s future needs for processing ICSRs. Our experienced pharmacovigilance physicians are involved in reviewing MedDRA coding and in the medical assessment of all cases. We carry out full quality control of each report.
We have submissions staff who are qualified users of EudraVigilance for electronic reporting. Case disposition is tracked and contributes to metrics for regulatory and quality compliance monitoring. Regulatory intelligence is a key part of appropriate pharmacovigilance and we have a team in place to ensure that we keep abreast of any changes in the regulations and update our core regulatory reporting requirements table accordingly.
We understand the need to respect the deadlines, making the right decisions about expedited reporting, and keeping the appropriate people in your company informed. If necessary, we can tailor our established standard practices to your specific requirements. The whole system is subject to internal audit and open to your scrutiny.
However, entering data into a safety database is only a small part of the requirements for pharmacovigilance. Regular management reports, routine signal detection, database searches for signal evaluation, periodic safety update reports, or responses to regulatory authority inquiries all attract the same attention to the quality and application of medical expertise. At PrimeVigilance, if services of a medic are required, they will be provided, but it need not cost you the earth.
