Introduzione

The EU regulations and GVPs require MAHs to continuously monitor the benefits and risks of their medicines, whether authorised or under clinical investigation. The Benefit-Risk assessment is a process which involves various activities requiring pharmacovigilance experience and expertise.

Complying with the requirements for a critical integrated benefit risk evaluation can be a challenging exercise for any pharmacovigilance department. Furthermore, the perspective of different stakeholders (regulator, marketing authorisation holder, patient, or prescriber) may vary.

The objective of this course is to provide knowledge and understanding of the concepts and principles of Benefit-Risk assessment and lead to the critical analysis of data sources for the evaluation of risks. The course will show both qualitative and basic quantitative methods for Benefit-Risk assessment, including their practical application in decision making. Specific attention is given to the motivations and background of the different stakeholders, as well as the actions for minimising risks with medicines.

During the 2-module training, the following topics will be covered

  • Risk definition and measurement
  • Measures of association
  • Identification and evaluation of risk
    • Internal/external data sources
    • Evaluation of a signal
    • Prioritisation of risk
    • Causality assessment
  • Formal and informal benefit-risk decision tools
  • Example of Benefit-Risk Action Team (BRAT) methodology
  • Taking action
    • Minimising risks with medicines
    • Regulatory actions
    • Risk Management Plans
  • Practical implications and regulatory requirements
  • Benefit-risk assessment in Periodic Safety Update Reports

Pharmaceutical industry personnel from areas including pharmacovigilance, clinical research, medical affairs, regulatory affairs.
