13^th International Conference and Exhibition on Pharmacovigilance & Drug Safety July 27-28, 2020 Zurich | Switzerland

Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management comprises set of pharmacovigilance activities and interventions designed to identify, characterise, prevent or minimise risks relating to medicinal and therapeutic products including the assessment of the effectiveness of their clinical interventions and combination therapies. Drug industry need to promote companies in pharmacovigilance practice to use information technology and to review softwares used in pharmacovigilance and clinical trials. Monitoring unlicensed, off labels and orphan drugs is major task in risk management. Many experts from different pharmacovigilance CRO’s pharmacovigilance service providers and industrial delegates are participating in this conference to share their knowledge and discuss about the new updates.

The clinical trial industry is constantly evolving with diversified clinical research technologies and new clinical studies are being launched at an ever-growing pace. Clinical trials have always been a vital part of the medicine development process, as they provide clinical data on the best ways for treating pathological disorders and diseases. The importance of diversity in industrial clinical trials and clinical research is to ensure that industrial clinical trials are doing due diligence and being as strategic as possible in their results. This diversity makes us to better understand the unmet medical needs of patients.

Market Analysis:

The global clinical trials market size was valued at USD 40.0 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period. According to BioOutsource, the demand for Biosimilars testing is expected to increase in the U.S. This is attributed to the fact that the FDA finally started addressing the lack of clear guidance with regards to biosimilars, specifically how the developers should prove that their drugs are similar to that of the originator product. In January 2015, Hospira submitted one of the biosimilar versions of Epogen (Epoetin Alfa) and the result of the review in the U.S. is anticipated from the FDA within a year.

Good data quality management in pharmacovigilance can be relied only on information gathered from the collection of individual case safety reports and other pharmacoepidemiological data. Quality management consists of quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvements. The pharmacovigilance data processing cycle starts with data collection and, in computerised systems, data entry; the next step is data storage and maintenance; followed by data selection, retrieval and manipulation. The resulting data output is analysed and assessed. Finally, conclusions are drawn and decisions are made. The quality of a pharmacovigilance data system can be defined as a measure of excellence or a state of being free from defects, deficiencies and significant variations and the data quality management includes all the activities that organizations use to direct, control and coordinate the quality of data.

Market Analysis:

The global pharmacovigilance (PV) market size was estimated at USD 3.40 billion in 2016 and is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 13.1% over the forecast period. Increasing incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) is expected to accelerate the demand for pharmacovigilance services over the forecast period. 

Growing prevalence of chronic diseases is another major contributor for the PV growth. Treatment of these chronic diseases require uptake of combination of drugs resulting in ADR. To curb this problem, PV services are used. According to statistics published in Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), in 2014, ADR is one of the leading causes of mortality in the U.S. resulting in more than 100,000 deaths every year

Case Report in Clinical Trials plays a key role in Clinical Research. Case reports may be on unexpected association between diseases, disorders or symptoms. An unexpected event in the course of observing, treating a patient, possibilities of pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect. Unique or rare salient features of a disease or therapeutic approaches or a notable variation of the anatomical structures.

Market Analysis:

Clinical trials are research studies which are performed to explore new medical treatments to implement them in people. There are 4-Phases in clinical trials. The final phase includes a documentation process which is called as a CASE REPORT. A case report is a detailed report of signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment & adverse/side effects (if any) in the form of a document. Among which Indonesia tops the list in spending less towards health care it rarely spent about 3.3% of GDP in 2013 whereas other Asian countries like Malaysia spent about 4.4% of GDP in 2013 likewise Philippines with about 4.6% of GDP in 2013 and Singapore around 3.9% of GDP. It’s expected to rise around 8.9% in Singapore by 2018, 4.5% in Malaysia by 2018, 4.5% in Philippines by 2018 whereas in Indonesia it is expected to reduce to 2.8% by 2018.

Drug Safety heavily focuses on adverse drug reactions which are defined as any response to a drug which is noxious and unintended, including lack of efficacy. Medication errors such as overdose, and misuse and abuse of a drug as well as drug exposure during pregnancy and breastfeeding, are also of interest, even without an adverse event, because they may result in an adverse drug reaction. Information received from patients and healthcare providers via pharmacovigilance agreements (PVAs), as well as other sources such as the medical literature, plays a critical role in providing the data necessary for pharmacovigilance to take place. Ultimately, drug safety is concerned with identifying the hazards associated with pharmaceutical products and with minimizing the risk of any harm that may come to patients. Companies must conduct a comprehensive drug safety and pharmacovigilance audit to assess their compliance with worldwide laws, regulations, and guidance.

Market Analysis:

The global pharmacovigilance and drug safety software market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2014-2019, and is expected to reach a value of $154.1 Million in 2019. As of 2014, North America holds the largest share of the global pharmacovigilance and drug safety software market, followed by Europe. However, Asian and Latin American countries represent high growth markets, owing to a rise in research outsourcing by pharmaceutical giants and growing public and private investments in pharmaceutical R&D in these emerging nations

There is an advantage in centralising all safety data, clinical data, analysis and reporting with one provider. Pharmacovigilance Software tool provides comprehensive analysis of adverse events arising from the use of Pharmaceutical products (Medicinal Product, Medical Device, Vaccines, Non-Drug Therapy and Veterinary Medicinal Product). The drug safety database allows the risk- benefit analysis of medicinal products taking into account new and emerging information, in the context of cumulative information. Pharmacovigilance since beginning has been a compliance driven activity, wherein your regulatory compliance determines company’s risk assessment scores. A drug safety database offers scheduling of alerts for expedited cases, follow-up cases and PSUR/PADER reports submission to meet regulatory timeline compliance.

Market Analysis:

The global clinical trial IT market is expected to grow from $2.63 billion in 2016 to $4.29 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 13.0%.
