INDIA- A need to develop our own In house safety database solution

In the recent times we have seen a growing prevalence of diseases and chronic disorders, in order to eradicate life threatening diseases and chronic conditions, we have made one leap forward towards developing an effective pharmacovigilance system, with the sole aim to provide robust patient safety, through monitoring adverse drug reactions, signal detection and risk management plan.

Collection, detection, assessment and monitoring of adverse event through icsr pharmacovigilance  requires specialized IT framework with the capabilities of Intelligent Automation for computing frequency of adverse events using complex algorithms and statistical disproportions, which will help us then to understand the benefit-risk profile of the drug, paving way for an effective risk management plan.

With PvPI facilitating drug safety activities in India, In the current scenario there is an strong need for collaboration of IT segment with PvPI to build an in house safety solution which will encompass all the capabilities for carrying out end to end pharmacovigilance process and at the same time it should be made available for patient/ healthcare professionals as a cloud based services or android/IOS service for direct reporting of adverse events.


This service could be linked to Aadhar card, where in which a patient or HCP when reporting an adverse event, by simply entering the telephone number or UID will get an OTP on their smartphone and then after providing the OTP, the end user would have complete access to his/her own database which would include the number of previous adverse event reports submitted, current status of reports, this would also enable auto filling of contact details in adverse event monitoring using machine learning.

What is a ‘backward forward convertor’ ?

Did you know that ICH has a backward forward conversion (BFC) tool which was build using eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLTs) ? This language basically transforms a XML file of a given format into another XML file of a different format. The BFC tool requires a program that understands XSLT language to make conversion of E2B (R2) to E2B (R3) and vice versa. Now considering this, the European medical agency has improvised the BFC tool with additional fields as per the EU implementation guide. The EU version of the amended BFC tool has been published on the EMA website. The key files in the BFC package includes downgrade-icsr.xsl; which downgrades E2B (R3) file into E2B (R2) and upgrade-icsr.xsl; which upgrades E2B (R2) file into an E2B (R3) file. The acknowledgement convertors include downgrade-ack.xsl and upgrade-ack.xsl What are the technical limitations of BFC tools? However, the conversion using BFC has some major limitations. When converting I

MHRA’s Black Triangle Report

In United Kingdom, there are certain drugs in which although they were granted marketing approval by the Medicines and healthcare product regulatory agency (MHRA), they need to be closely monitored, since limited information were available about these drugs.  One of the key reasons attributed to this may be, less subjects being enrolled in the clinical trials, short therapy duration etc.…thus, in order to identify rare adverse reactions, effect of the drug in different populations or effect of the drug under different co-morbidities, such drugs are tagged with an inverted black triangle ( ▼ ) on their package insert, to ensure that these drugs are intensively monitored. The Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) and MHRA encourages expedited reporting within 15 calendar days of all such drugs with an inverted black triangle symbol if, found to have caused serious or non-serious adverse drug reaction. You may find the black triangle drugs at the Electronic

Chat Bot- the first artificial intelligence bot in Pharmacovigilance

Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat bot. The MSD Salute chat bot is designed to aid physicians in providing product information and pathology.  The Physicians who are registered with MSD would use the Chat bot using facebook messenger.  Chat bot is derived from the social media and uses machine learning and implements feedback to develop interactions.  Currently MSD is monitoring and not filtering the communication between Chat bot and users, as they want to analyse the open ended exchanges between the AI and the users. Chat bot currently in the testing phase, is said augment patient safety through proactive pharmacovigilance .  We at Think I are also driven to produce Pharmacovigilance safety database solutions using cloud based technology which are not only cost effective and user friendly but also fully validated for quick, easy import, entry and electronic submissions of adve
