Detecting new safety issues in EU

Simplified reporting of ICSRs to EudraVigilance and re-routing to MS Improved quality and completeness of Individual Case Safety Report data – better searchability & efficiency Enhanced signal detection and data analysis tools to support signal detection by member states & MAHs Better detection of new or changing safety issues enabling rapid action to protect pubic health

Outcomes of signal assessment

PRAC Sep 2012 – Jun 2017

Product Information update [PERCENTAGE] Routine PhVig & monitor in PSUR 36% Ongoing within signal procedure 6% Ongoing within PSUSA/PSUR 1.6% Referral evaluation 4.3% Update of RMP 2.2% PASS 0.5%

What do I want to know?

How the medicine is being used What is drug exposure Outcomes of interest Background rates of events of interest What is drug attributable risk Has regulatory action minimised risk When will I get the answers

Answering regulatory questions - RMPs

In the first 5 years after approval, 20.7% of uncertainties identified at approval were resolved

Accessing decision-relevant data

Database studies

  • Eg risk characterisation, investigation of

targeted AEs, impact of regulatory action

Drug utilisation studies

  • Eg to assess patterns of use, effectiveness
  • f risk minimisation or help plan PASS

Registries (prospective cohorts)

  • Eg assess safety profile, health outcomes

in clinical use, consider comparator

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Strengths and limitations of registries

Limitations

  • Substantial set up & running costs
  • Time consuming to initiate
  • Medications commonly missing
  • ADRs not routinely recorded
  • Co-morbidities missing
  • Data ownership/governance
  • Data Quality
  • If no comparator will limit utility
  • Relevant clinical parameters
  • Natural history of disease
  • Standard of care
  • Patient stratification
  • RCTs
  • Open label studies possible
  • Capture off label use
  • Information on high risk groups
  • Patient reported outcomes

Strengths

Examples of some EU regulatory questions

How is Radium 223 used in non- symptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic prostate cancer? Are risk minimisation measures to reduce harm of exposure to valproate in pregnancy effective? Is Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine associated with increased risk of fatigue syndromes in adolescent girls?

Generating timely evidence

Example: Has prescribing of codeine in children changed following regulatory action in 2013?

Common protocol reduces variability due to misaligned definitions, analytical models Makes use of existing regulatory network  Access to high quality electronic health records  Effective allocation of existing resources  Sharing of expertise and data Greater part of EU population in same study Pilot study to gain experience Assessment of data by PRAC in 2018

Moving forward – how can we do better?

Agree on common goal – timely access to decision-relevant data to achieve measurable public health outcomes Scenario-specific planning for capability to link local or distributed data sources at global level, support rapid cycle analysis Multi-disciplinary teams including regulators, data providers, pharma and academia to work on common data format
