- 5. Audit and inspection
Requirements for information provided to Member States
and EMA about pharmacovigilance system(s) of marketing
authorisation holders (MAHs) change in several ways:
• Summary information only on EU qualified person for pharmacovigilance
(QPPV) and location of a pharmacovigilance system master file (PSMF)
will be contained in marketing authorisations
• Full descriptive information about pharmacovigilance systems will have
to be contained in PSMF, available to Competent Authorities on request)
• Detailed requirements for PSMF concern its availability, structure,
content and maintenance
• PSMF will encompass pharmacovigilance system and may relate to one
or more products; content changes not automatically notifiable to
Competent Authorities
• Differs from current Detailed Description of the Pharmacovigilance
system (DDPS), which will be phased out from July 2012–15

- 6. ADR reporting and signal management
• Patients included as valid reporters of ADRs
• Definition of ADR extended to include harm from “noxious
and unintended” reaction: ie, error, misuse, abuse, off-label
• Centralised reporting to Eudravigilance (likely 2015)
• EU-wide list of products subject to additional monitoring (to
include biosimilars and biologicals); phasing out of UK Black
Triangle Scheme
• PSURs: cumulative benefit-risk evaluation of signals
• Rationalisation via: modular structure; waivers; risk-based

- 7. Risk minimisation
• Focus: forward-planning; dynamic; proportionate;
transparent; auditable
• Risk management plans required for all new marketing
authorisations (MAs) from July 2012 (modular structure)
• Post-authorisation safety/efficacy studies may be a new
obligation (condition) on or after granting an MA

- 8. Committees and referrals
• There will be a new EU committee: the Pharmacovigilance
Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) to advise current CHMP
and CMDh committees
• New oversight in relation to risk minimisation via assessment
of PSURs, RMP, PASS
• Role also in referrals; transitional arrangements will outline
how legislation affects trigger date
Slide 8

- 9. Communications and transparency
• Role of MAHs: timely and objective notifications
• National web portals to host range of transparency
documents:
- SPCs and PILs
- Summaries of Risk Management Plans
- Public Assessment Reports (including conditions)
- Products under additional monitoring
- ADR reporting forms
• EMA web portal expected to host further information relating
to:
- PASS abstracts, protocols and study reports
- Committee details
• There will be EU public hearings on drug safety
