The Future of Pharmacovigilance

Previously, I discussed how pharmacovigilance can work, when implemented correctly. In the final installment of this blog series, I look at the future of pharmacovigilance. How can you close the knowledge gap and move pharmacovigilance from a state of reactive to proactive? While the presented earlier is merely an example, it is based on real […]

Why Proactive Pharmacovigilance Can Work

My last two blogs compared a hypothetical example of reactive and proactive pharmacovigilance (PV). My next installment in this series outlines how PV can work. Rather than reacting to the data, in the second hypothetical scenario, Company A pivoted with ready-planned interventional pharmacovigilance practices at the level of the intake system and took a patient-centric […]

Proactive Pharmacovigilance: Another Real-World Example

My previous blog provided a hypothetical example of reactive pharmacovigilance. This blog will examine the opposite, proactive pharmacovigilance and the success it can bring. Company A launches a first-in-class drug/device combo biologic for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. The drug has a novel mechanism of action. In clinical trials, ACR response was 26 weeks. The […]

Reactive Pharmacovigilance: A Real-World Example

Previously, I examined the best ways to overcome challenges with a new pharmacovigilance system. I now want to provide a hypothetical example of reactive pharmacovigilance. Company A launches a first-in-class drug/device combo biologic for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. The drug has a novel mechanism of action. In clinical trials, the American College of Rheumatology […]

Overcoming Challenges with a Pharmacovigilance System

My last blog outlined the potential for increased return on investments when pharmacovigilance is implemented. The next blog in this series discusses the best ways to overcome any challenges with new systems. Looking at a pharmacovigilance system holistically, there are interconnected, interdependent parts. Understanding how those individual parts function independently, as well as their impact […]

Pharmacovigilance: The Return on Investment

Previously, I analyzed the history of pharmacovigilance (PV), AEs and clinical therapeutics. This post examines the potential for increased return on investments when pharmacovigilance is implemented. All AE data holds value; how that value is determined takes an astute scientific approach to surveillance. In 2001, the medical literature began to include the results of a […]

Historical Perspective of AEs, Pharmacovigilance, and Clinical Therapeutics

My last bog talked about mitigating data overload with proactive pharmacovigilance (PV). The next blog in this series analyzes the history of PV, AEs and clinical therapeutics. As early as the 1980s, it was recognized that prostaglandins were important in renal function, especially in hypertensive patients. Prostaglandins preserve and maintain renal blood flow and thus […]

[Guide] Mitigate Data Overload with Proactive Pharmacovigilance

Surveillance of pharmacovigilance (PV) and product quality-complaint (PQC) data is not a new activity. For years we have known that adverse events temporal to drugs occur. Moreover, they are consistently underreported, impacting analysis of the data in unknown ways. Nearly every regulatory authority across the world has guidance and requirements in place for marketing authorization […]

Questions Regarding Pharmacovigilance Reporting During COVID-19

With the shift to working from home, changing daily priorities, and resources during the COVD-19 pandemic, regulators have or are making transitions to ease the stress without losing valuable data that may contribute to the treatment of COVID-19 or interrupting clinical trials. The pace at which the information on COVID-19 itself appears is so fast; […]

Top Five Questions about PV Hawk and a Webinar Wrap-Up

Earlier in the month, we introduced an innovative solution for PV Safety Surveillance in a webinar. We even had 22 reasons to attend the webinar. If you found yourself answering yes to things like “I hate the flat reports we get that makes it impossible to interpret the data” then revisiting the webinar recording is […]

22 Reasons To Attend Thursday’s Pharmacovigilance Surveillance Webinar

The challenge with all pharmacovigilance and safety surveillance is that it’s quite complicated. There is a lot of data and very few technical solutions that make analyzing safety data relatively simple. That’s where Perficient comes in. Join me, Kari Blaho-Owens, Ph.D., Director of Pharmacovigilance and Safety, Perficient, on February 6, 2020, at 10 AM CT, […]
