In this interactive two day online seminar, you will learn best practices in signal management based on PRAC case examples and discover how to use digital tools such as EudraVigilance, programmable data analysis and artificial intelligence effectively. The complementary perspectives of competent authority and marketing authorisation holder provide valuable insights for your daily practice.

Topics
  • GVP Module IX: content and practical implementation
  • The signal management process based on selected PRAC case examples
  • EudraVigilance and EVDAS
  • Data analysis with R tidyverse
  • Rule based automation and artificial intelligence


Who should attend
This online seminar is aimed at staff of pharmaceutical companies who need to understand, implement and carry out signal management in pharmacovigilance.
Aims and objectives
Signal management is a central component of pharmacovigilance and is among the most frequent critical findings during inspections. In this seminar, you will learn how to fulfil regulatory requirements reliably while designing your processes in an efficient and lean way.

On the first day, the focus is on the regulatory foundations and the signal management process. Step by step, the process is worked through and discussed based on practical case examples, including PRAC cases.

The second day is dedicated to more advanced topics such as communication with authorities, the use of EudraVigilance, data driven analyses, digital automation and artificial intelligence in signal management.

A particular highlight: the alternating perspectives of marketing authorisation holder and authority provide well founded insights from both sides, which is also a valuable addition for experienced professionals.
Your benefit

  • know how to detect, prioritise, validate and assess signals.
  • be able to apply efficient methods for data surveillance.
  • understand the impact of signals on RMPs, safety reports and regulatory actions.
