EU Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV)

Within the EU, each Marketing Authorisation Holder of human, veterinary or herbal medicinal products should ensure to have at his disposal a single point of contact, with a deputy, who is available 24/7 to act as the Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV). The QPPV has the following prime responsibilities: 

Description of the Pharmacovigilance System in the PV System Master File (PSMF)

EU Directive 2001/83/EC requires that every Marketing Authorisation Application should include a summary of the Pharmacovigilance System Master File being employed by the pharmaceutical company that filed the application. This summary is intended to provide proof that there is a Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance at his disposal and that this QPPV is available. For applications submitted after 2 July 2012, a Risk Management Plan should also be submitted. Finally, the PSMF is intended to provide the competent authorities with proof that the applicant as a (future) Marketing Authorisation Holder is capable to deal with adverse events properly, including collecting and notifying the competent authorities. 

Safety reports processing from clinical trials and post-marketing sources

DADA is capable of receiving safety data on your behalf from the public, from health professionals, competent authorities, clinical trials and literature sources, amongst others. The experienced team at DADA will conduct triage of case reports to determine seriousness, enter the data into our pharmacovigilance database, code the medical information according to standardised MedDRA terminology and provide medical review and ongoing surveillance of case reports.

Local (QP)PV support Adverse Events/Medical Information/Product Complaints processing

DADA can provide you with local support staff to receive and process medical inquiries, adverse event reports (see our section on safety reports processing) and product complaints and forward these to the applicable departments within your company. We offer experienced staff to take on the role of local QPPV in those countries where this is required. Through our network of experienced consultants, we can offer this service throughout the EEA.

Expedited reporting of case reports to Competent Authorities, EudraVigilance, FDA, Ethics Committees, Institutional Review Boards and Investigators

One of the most common causes of critical findings in Pharmacovigilance Inspections is non-compliance with the expedited reporting (15 day) of spontaneous serious adverse drug reactions. DADA has a quality system implemented to ensure that expedited reports are reported in time to competent authorities. Reports may be submitted electronically or by hard copy as required by local regulations. DADA is registered with EudraVigilance to facilitate electronic reporting. EMA-trained staff ensure compliance with the rigorous requirements of such a system. For medical devices, we can ensure timely incident reporting per applicable guidelines.

XEVMPD population and maintenance

DADA is capable of processing the regulatory information contained in the Summary of Products Characteristics and submitting this information to the extended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary (XEVMPD) in line with Article 57(2) of the new pharmacovigilance legislation. The experienced team at DADA will conduct several quality checks during the creation of product report messages (XEVPRM) for submission to the XEVMPD and keep you informed of successful population. Maintenance of the XEVMPD will require close and clear communication to ensure timely updating of the submitted information, a trademark of the DADA team.

Periodic reporting, through Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs)/Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Reports (PBRERs), Addenda to the Clinical Overview, and Annual Safety Reports (ASRs)/Developmental Safety Update Reports (DSURs)

The major goal of pharmacovigilance is to ensure continuous monitoring of the safety profile of medicinal products. To verify that MAHs live up to these obligations, competent authorities require the submission of periodic safety reports wherein an overview of the safety findings is presented. For products in clinical trials, FDA requires submission of Investigational New Drug (IND) reports, whereas EMA requests annual Developmental Safety Update Reports (DSURs) and other regions may require Annual Safety Reports (ASRs). For products that have received marketing authorisation, Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs) are required, also referred to as Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Reports (PBRERs). As specified in the Good Vigilance Practices, the periodicity of these reports may be different depending on the age of the product, from 6 month-intervals to three years or more for generic products. Addenda to the Clinical Overview (AddCO) are generally submitted during a renewal, to present the competent authorities with a short overview of the information presented in the PSURs submitted during the marketing authorisation period including the period not yet covered by a PSUR.

Global and local literature screening and review

The MAH is required to regularly screen the published medical and scientific literature, to ensure that any mention of their products is duly noted and reported to competent authorities. DADA pharmacovigilance staff is experienced in carrying out this activity on your behalf and can comprehensively manage your literature screening requirements in a cost-effective manner in conjunction with writing periodic safety reports and signal evaluation documents for your products. Our weekly search is not only limited to identification of individual case safety reports, but also includes detection of potential safety issues. Per your requirements, we can also conduct local literature screening in our territories. In addition, we carry out ad hoc literature searches for purposes of signal evaluation or for identifying safety concerns for inclusion in PSURs.
