2 Day Signal Detection and Regulatory Expectations Training Course: Understand the EudraVigilance Quantitative Signal Tool Utilising the EVDAS Functionalities and Outputs (April 17-18, 2023) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Signal Detection and Regulatory Expectations Training Course" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This course will provide a detailed overview of all aspects of safety reviews and signal detection within a company and will cover signal evaluation for both innovator and generic products under the updated Module IX (and addendum) signal management and the links to RMP/REMs; Benefit-Risk determinations and quantitative signal assessments.

Increasingly, the most common critical findings in regulatory inspections are being given for signal detection and signal management - so the need to identify potential signals and risks in patients has never been greater. The protection of patients through robust and clear methodologies for signal detection amidst the ever-increasing regulations requires companies to have trained and competent staff to perform such activities.

Practical examples and exercises are performed throughout the course.

Benefits of attending:

• Clarify the EU/FDA regulatory requirements for signal detection
• Data sources to be used in signal detection
• Learn to understand the EudraVigilance quantitative signal tool utilising the EVDAS functionalities and outputs
• Understand the safety review cycle and the safety review meeting and process
• Discuss safety communication - the CCSI/SCSI and labelling
• Processes for urgent safety restrictions
• Gain a better understanding of risk-benefit analysis - benefit-risk assessments and benefit-risk outcomes
• Understand the influence of signals on RMPs/REMs and PASS
• Practical examples and scenarios for delegates to consider and work on

Who Should Attend:

This course will be of interest to all those working in drug safety/pharmacovigilance as well as regulatory personnel responsible for amending the labelling for products and for the production of the CCSI/DCSI.
