Introduction

The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) is pleased to announce the holding of the “PMDA-ATC Pharmacovigilance Webinar 2021” for overseas regulatory authority officials who are engaged in pharmacovigilance activities.  The webinar will be offered by the Asia Training Center for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Regulatory Affairs (PMDA-ATC) on Cisco Webex.

The webinar is held as a workshop of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, Life Sciences Innovation Forum, Regulatory Harmonization Steering Committee (APEC-LSIF-RHSC) Center of Excellence; however, the webinar is open to non-APEC economies as well.

The webinar will cover wide range of topics on pharmacovigilance, including internationally recognized regulations, global safety data collection and evaluation of accumulated safety data, risk management based on the risk management plan including pharmacovigilance plan and risk minimization action plan including risk communication like labeling per safety specification. Group discussions among participants using case studies are planned as well.

The aims of the webinar are to provide chances for the participants to refer back to their work and to find any additional opportunity for enhancement of the regulatory system in participants’ economies for pharmacovigilance in the post-marketing phase. 
The webinar will be led not only by PMDA staff members from pharmacovigilance area but also by representatives from U.S.FDA, academia and the pharmaceutical industry, allowing participants to think and discuss from multiple perspectives on pharmacovigilance.

The webinar is not open to the industry or non-regulatory authorities.
Participation from many regulatory authorities is welcomed.

  • The risk management tools and benefit-risk analysis for pharmacovigilance and risk minimization action per safety specifications identified by signal detection and benefit-risk analysis,
  • The importance of collection and accumulation of adverse drug reaction reports and methodology of signal detection using such accumulated data, from the point of view of pharmacoepidemiology, and
  • The risk communication with stakeholders utilizing labeling and periodic reports such as Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Report (PBRER).
