Pharmacovigilance Europe Congress 2018 Follow Verify

Pharmacovigilance (PV or PhV), also known as drug safety, is the pharmacological science relating to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products.[1] The etymological roots for the word "pharmacovigilance" are: pharmakon (Greek for drug) and vigilare (Latin for to keep watch). As such, pharmacovigilance heavily focuses on adverse drug reactions, or ADRs, which are defined as any response to a drug which is noxious and unintended, including lack of efficacy (the condition that this definition only applies with the doses normally used for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease, or for the modification of physiological disorder function was excluded with the latest amendment of the applicable legislation[2]). 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.[3]

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. In fact, in order to market or to test a pharmaceutical product in most countries, adverse event data received by the license holder (usually a pharmaceutical company) must be submitted to the local drug regulatory authority. (See Adverse event reporting below.)

Ultimately, pharmacovigilance 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.[4] Pharmacovigilance Europe Congress 2018 is the 4th Annual International Conference and Exhibition in Pharmacovigilance, Clinical Trials, Regulatory Affairs and Risk Management. This event attracts attendees from pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostics, CRO and solution provider companies. Pharmacovigilance Europe congress represents a great opportunity to update with the expanding Global Pharmaceutical Industry and increase awareness on the increasingly more essential need of Global Pharmacovigilance. It is also an excellent chance for networking and knowledge sharing and experience.

Event topics

The rapid growth of pharmaceutical industries has resulted in innovations and increase in the number of drugs into the market, which has also resulted in the rise of adverse drug events. These events have led to a rise in public safety concerns, stringent regulatory policies, expectations and tough inspection regimes, providing the much-needed stimulation for the growth of pharmacovigilance market. The field of drug safety reporting has been extended to medical devices, traditional medicines and biologics. The Pharmacovigilance Europe 2018 conference will participants an opportunity and a platform to share experiences with the like-minded individuals in the field. The conference will bring together industry experts and regulators to discuss the new updates in EU legislation, operational challenges of an implication of these changes, the experience of implementing global risk management plans, the best and effective way forward, the impact of IT and social media on PV and harmonization of different regulatory bodies.
