The types of literature related to adverse reactions mainly include: case reports, case series, adverse reaction reviews, etc. In addition, clinical effectiveness and safety studies, meta-analysis, etc. may also involve adverse drug reactions. Individual adverse reactions from literature sources are mainly searched for adverse reaction case reports (description and discussion of the adverse reactions of a single patient, such as "a case of liver failure caused by XX drug") and adverse reaction case series (for multiple patients with the same nature of adverse reactions) The reaction is described and discussed, such as "Four cases of anaphylactic shock caused by XX drug"). Adverse reactions in other types of literature reports (such as clinical observational studies with the main purpose of observing curative effects) are generally not reported as individual cases.
Holders should formulate reasonable search strategies to ensure comprehensive search results and reduce missed inspections. For example, keywords can be searched using the international non-proprietary name (INN)/active ingredient of the drug, or the generic name of the drug approved by the drug regulatory authority , Product name and alias combination to search.
1.5 Internet and Social Media
Holders should regularly browse the websites initiated or managed by them to collect possible adverse reaction cases. The principle does not require the holder to search external websites, but if the holder learns of the adverse reaction in the external website, he should evaluate whether to report it.
Holders should use the company’s portal website to collect information on adverse reactions, such as establishing a special route for adverse drug reaction reports on the website, providing report methods, report forms and report content guidance, and publishing complete and up-to-date product instructions.
Print media, digital media, and social media/platforms initiated or managed by the holder are also one of the sources of cases of adverse drug reactions, such as the use of corporate WeChat official accounts, microblogs, and forums.
1.6 Post-market research and projects
Individual adverse reactions found in post-marketing studies initiated by companies (including studies carried out overseas) or organized data collection projects should be reported as required, such as clinical trials, non-interventional epidemiological studies, and key drug monitoring , Patient support projects, market research or other marketing projects, etc.
Adverse reactions discovered in post-marketing research or projects should in principle be reported by the holder to the regulatory authority, but the holder shall not interfere with the reporting behavior of the research or project partner for any reason or means.
1.7 Sources of regulatory authorities
The adverse drug reaction report reported by the domestic regulatory authority to the holder is mainly used for the holder’s safety analysis and evaluation of the product. The holder shall deal with the feedback reports, such as terminology regularization, evaluation of severity and expectation, and evaluation of relevance, etc., and report according to the scope and time limit of individual adverse drug reactions (see 3.2 and 5.2).
If the adverse drug reaction report reported by the overseas regulatory authority to the holder meets the requirements of overseas reporting, it shall be submitted to the regulatory authority of my country in accordance with the overseas report processing procedure.
2 records, transmission and verification of adverse drug reactions
2.1 Record
The first person of the holder or the entrusting party who is aware of the adverse reaction of an individual case is called the first recipient. The first recipient should obtain as much information as possible about adverse reactions, including patient conditions, reporter conditions, suspected and concurrent drugs, and adverse reactions. If it is difficult to obtain information comprehensively, try to obtain the four elements of information first (see 3.1).
There should be original records of adverse reaction information received through various channels, such as emails, letters, telephone calls, and doctor interviews. In addition to the reporter, the information of other relevant personnel who provided case report information should also be recorded to ensure that the information provider is identifiable (see 3.1). Records should be true, accurate and objective, and should be properly kept. The original records can be paper records, electronic documents, audio recordings, or website screenshots. Routine collection methods such as telephone records and doctor interviews should develop original record forms.
All original records should clearly indicate the date when the holder or its entrusting party obtained the adverse drug reaction this time, as well as the name and contact information of the first recipient. Document retrieval should record the retrieval date, personnel, retrieval strategy, etc., and save the relevant original documents obtained from the retrieval; if the relevant information is not retrieved, it should also be recorded.
For the data fed back by the supervisory authority, the holder shall ensure that the feedback data is downloaded in a timely manner, and record the download time, quantity, operating personnel and other information.
2.2 Delivery
When the original records of individual adverse drug reactions are transmitted from the first recipient to the pharmacovigilance department, the authenticity and integrity of the records shall be maintained, and no deletion or omission shall be allowed. To ensure the timeliness of the report, the delivery time limit should be required. All changes to the original data should be noted. The holder should formulate rules for handling missing information to ensure the consistency of handling. The pharmacovigilance department shall number all the individual adverse reaction reports received, and the numbering shall be continuous and traceable to the original record according to the number.
2.3 Verification
The holder shall evaluate the authenticity and accuracy of the information on individual adverse reactions. When the authenticity of the patient or reporter is doubted, or the accuracy of the information content is doubted, the information should be verified as much as possible. The report reported by the regulatory authority is authentic and accurate by default, but if the holder believes that the report may affect the overall safety assessment of the drug, it should be verified as much as possible.
If the adverse drug reaction comes from a partner other than the holder, such as an information collection unit entrusted by an enterprise, an institution entrusting a literature search, a research cooperation unit, etc., the agreement between the two parties should have binding provisions to ensure that the information collected by the partner is true and accurate. The holder is responsible for reviewing the adverse reaction information provided by the partner and is responsible for the report submitted to the regulatory authority.
Confirmation of 3 cases of adverse drug reaction reports
Individual adverse drug reactions collected through various channels should be confirmed. The content to be confirmed mainly includes: whether it is a valid report, whether it is within the scope of the report, whether it is a repeated report, etc. If it is confirmed that there is no need to submit an adverse drug reaction to the regulatory authority, the reason for non-submission shall be recorded and the original record shall be kept.
3.1 Effective report
First, confirm whether it is a valid report. An effective report should include the following four elements (four elements for short): identifiable patients, identifiable reporters, suspected drugs, and adverse reactions. If the four elements are incomplete, the report is deemed invalid and should be supplemented before reporting.
"Identifiable" refers to the ability to confirm the presence of the patient and reporter. The patient is considered identifiable when one or more of the following items are available: name or initials, gender, age (or age group, such as adolescent, adult, and elderly), date of birth, and other identification codes of the patient. The initial reporter who provided the case information or the relevant person contacted for obtaining the case information should be identifiable. For case reports from the Internet, the recognizability of the reporter depends on whether the existence of the patient and the reporter can be verified, such as providing a valid e-mail address or other contact information.
3.2 Report scope
When a patient uses a drug with a harmful reaction that is not related to the purpose of the drug, when the correlation between the reaction and the drug cannot be ruled out, it should be reported in accordance with the principle of "report if suspicious". The scope of the report includes the adverse reactions that occur under the normal usage and dosage of the drugs, as well as the harmful reactions that occur in the case of off-label use, such as over-indication medication, over-dose medication, contraindication medication, etc., and suspected drug quality problems caused Harmful reactions etc.
Information on drug overdose should be collected and analyzed in regular safety reports. Overdose of drugs that cause adverse reactions should be reported on a case-by-case basis.
Drugs exported overseas (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) and serious adverse reactions of imported drugs overseas, regardless of the patient's ethnicity, fall within the scope of individual case reports. Non-serious adverse reactions do not need to be submitted on a case-by-case basis, and should be summarized in the regular safety update report.
For adverse reactions from post-marketing research or organized data collection projects, if the reporter or holder judges that there is a possible causal relationship with the drug, it should be reported to the regulatory authority. Adverse reactions from other sources, including reports reported by the regulatory authorities, should be reported to the regulatory authorities regardless of whether the holder believes that there is a causal relationship.
For adverse reactions reported in the literature, if the suspicious drug is determined to be the holder’s product, it should be reported regardless of whether the holder believes that there is a causal relationship; if it is determined that it is not the holder’s product, there is no need to report it. If it is uncertain whether it is the holder's product, it should be discussed in the regular safety update report, and it may not be used as an individual adverse reaction report.
If multiple drugs are mentioned in the literature, the suspected drug should be reported and the holder of the suspected drug should report. Suspected drugs are determined by the authors of the literature, and the authors usually mention the causal relationship between suspected drugs and adverse reactions in the title or conclusion. If the reporter believes that the suspected drug is different from the suspected drug determined by the author of the literature, it can be stated in the remarks of the report.
3.3 Duplicate reports
In order to avoid duplicate reports due to different collection methods, the holder should check the duplicate reports and submit them after removing duplicate reports. Reports that cannot be determined whether they are repeated should be reported in time.
Evaluation of 4 cases of adverse drug reactions
After receiving an individual adverse drug reaction report (including the report fed back by the regulatory authority), the staff of the pharmacovigilance department should evaluate the report, including the determination of new adverse reactions and serious adverse reactions, and the development of the association between drugs and adverse reactions Sexual evaluation.
4.1 Determination of new adverse drug reactions
When the nature, severity, characteristics or results of an adverse reaction are inconsistent with the terms or descriptions in the owner's instructions, it shall be considered as a new adverse reaction (or unanticipated adverse reaction). The holder cannot be sure that the adverse reaction is new or known, and should be treated as new.
An adverse reaction leading to death should be considered a new adverse reaction, unless it is clear in the instructions that the adverse reaction may cause death.
The same type of drugs may have some or some of the same adverse reactions, which are called "like reactions." Class reactions can only be considered as known adverse reactions when they are clearly described in the instructions, for example: "Like other drugs of the same kind, drug XX will also have the following adverse reactions." or "Similar drugs, including drug XX will Cause..." If the drug XX has no record of the adverse reaction so far, the following description may appear in the instructions: "It has been reported that other drugs of the same kind will cause..." or "There have been reports that similar drugs will cause..., but no drug has been received so far. XX’s report.” In this case, it should not be considered that the adverse reaction is a known adverse reaction to drug XX.
4.2 Judgment of serious adverse drug reactions
One of the following adverse reactions should be judged as serious adverse drug reactions: (1) cause death; (2) life-threatening; (3) cause hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; (4) cause permanent or significant disability/ Loss of function; (5) Congenital abnormalities/birth defects; (6) Causes other important medical events, such as those listed above may occur without treatment.
For adverse reactions, "severity" and "severity"
Guidelines for the collection and reporting of individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs)
In order to standardize the collection and reporting of individual adverse reactions after the drug is marketed, and to guide marketing license holders to carry out work related to adverse drug reaction reports, in accordance with the "Regarding Deepening the Reform of the Review and Approval System of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council" "Opinions" (Ting Zi [2017] No. 42), "Administrative Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring" (Ministry of Health Order No. 81), "Announcement on Direct Reporting of Adverse Reactions by Drug Marketing Authorization Holders" (National Drug Administration Announcement No. 66 of 2018), with reference to the International Human Drug Registration Technical Coordination Committee "Post-marketing Safety Data Management: Definitions and Standards for Rapid Reporting" (ICH E2D) to formulate these guidelines.
This guideline applies to marketing authorization holders (including manufacturers holding drug approval documents, hereinafter referred to as holders) to collect and report individual adverse drug reactions.
