Understand how drug safety is monitored throughout a medicine’s entire lifecycle — from first-in-human trials to post-market surveillance — and learn the global regulatory frameworks that govern safety reporting worldwide.
Pharmacovigilance (PV) is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects associated with medicines. Every drug on the market is subject to continuous safety monitoring — and regulators worldwide require pharmaceutical companies to maintain active, compliant PV systems at all times.
This module covers the complete PV workflow — from how Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) are received, processed, and submitted to regulatory authorities, to how medical coders use MedDRA to classify adverse events, to how pharmacovigilance teams generate aggregate safety reports like PSURs and PBRERs that summarise a drug’s global safety profile.
You will understand the ICH E2A to E2F safety guidelines that define global PV standards, the role of WHO-UMC and EudraVigilance in international safety data exchange, and how signal detection methodologies identify previously unknown safety patterns from large adverse event databases.
Every topic is delivered by an active pharmacovigilance professional with real CRO and pharma industry experience.
