Aggregate Reporting?

• To provide a concise summary of safety information, and an evaluation of the benefit-risk profile of the medicinal product to identify safety information that would require:

– Further investigation of the product

– Changes to the medicinal product label

• Aggregate safety reports play a key role in the safety assessment of medicinal product

• The exact type of report that is required varies by country and regulatory authorities


Sciences

Sources of safety information

• Spontaneous reports

• Clinical trials

• Literature

• Related to Investigational uses or marketing experience by the MAH, sponsors clinical trials or competent authorities– A significant influence on the benefit-risk profile of the approved

medicinal product– An impact on the conduct of a specific clinical trialsReasons for each action should be provided, if known, and

additional relevant information should be provided when appropriate.


Sciences

Actions related to investigational drugs:• Suspension or early termination of an ongoing clinical trial

because of any safety findings or lack of efficacy• Recall of investigational drug or comparator• Failure to obtain marketing approval for a tested indication• Protocol modifications due to safety or efficacy concerns• Changes to the informed consent document relating to safety

concerns• Restrictions in study population or indications


Sciences

Actions related to marketed drugs• Failure to obtain or apply for a marketing approval renewal• Withdrawal or suspension of a marketing approval• Suspension of supply by the MAH• Significant safety related changes in the labeling documents,

including restrictions on use or population treated• Communication to healthcare professionals• New post-marketing study requirements if imposed by

regulators05/02/2023Katalyst HealthCares & Life

Sciences

Section 4: Changes to reference safety information

• Information on significant changes made to the reference information during the reporting interval– Contraindications– Warnings and precautions– Adverse drug reactions– Interactions– Pregnancy and lactation– Overdose


Sciences

Section 5: Estimated exposure and use patterns

• This section should provide estimates of the size and nature of the population exposed to the medicinal product

• Brief descriptions of the methods used to estimate the patient exposure

• Consistent methods for calculating patient exposure should be used across PBRERs

• If a change in the method is appropriate, the same need to provided with a justification


Sciences

Section 5.1: Cumulative subject exposure in clinical trials• Cumulative numbers of subjects from ongoing and completed

clinical trials exposed to the investigational medicinal product, placebo, and/or active comparator(s) since the DIBD

• It is recognized that for older products, precise data might not be available.

• If available, more detailed cumulative subject exposure in clinical trials– Age– Sex– Racial/ethnic group


Sciences

Section 5.2: Cumulative and interval patient exposure from marketing experience

• 5.2.1 – Cumulative and interval exposure– Separate estimations should be provided for interval exposure

– Current reporting interval exposure– Previous reporting interval exposure– Cumulative exposure– Daily defined dose concept will be used to calculate the exposure– Data should be presented by indication, sex, age, dose, formulation,

and region where applicable

Patient exposure = Total exposure in mg/DDD*treatment days/years

Section 7: Summaries of significant safety findings from clinical trials during the reporting interval

• This section of the PBRER should provide a brief summary of clinically important emerging efficacy/effectiveness and safety findings obtained from the MAH’s sponsored clinical trials that became available during the reporting interval of the report

• The safety signals arising from clinical trial sources should be tabulated in Section 15 of the PBRER

• New information in relation to any previously known potential or identified risks and not considered to constitute a newly identified signal should be evaluated and characterized in Sections 16.3 and 16.4, respectively

• Findings from clinical trials not sponsored by the MAH should be described in the relevant sections of the PBRER.


Sciences

• The following information should be presented for each trial:– Study ID (e.g., protocol number or other identifier)– Study title (abbreviated study title, if applicable); – Study type (e.g., randomized clinical trial, cohort study, case-control

study); – Population studied (including country and other relevant population

trials of investigational drugs, particularly advanced therapy products


Sciences

• Section 7.4: Other therapeutic use of medicinal product– Includes clinically important safety information from other programmes

conducted by the MAH that follow a specific protocol– E.g. : Compassionate use programmes

development as a component of a fixed combination product or a multi-drug regimen, this section should summarize important safety findings from use of the combination therapy.

– If this PBRER is for a fixed combination product, this section should summarize important safety information arising from the individual components.

Section 8: Findings from non-interventional studies

• This section should summarise relevant safety information or information with potential impact on the benefit or risk evaluations, from MAH-sponsored non-interventional studies that became available during the reporting interval– Observational studies – Epidemiological studies,– Patient registries programmes


Sciences
