Drug Safety Data: How to Analyze, Summarize and Interpret to Determine Risk provides pharmaceutical scientists, researchers and technicians with an accessible, practical framework for the analysis, summary and interpretation of drug safety data. The only guide of its kind, Drug Safety Data: How to Analyze, Summarize and Interpret to Determine Risk is an invaluable reference for premarketing risk assessment. This unique resource enhances the ability of pharmaceutical professionalsùthose with and without clinical trainingùto determine the risk of a drug or biologic­ ahead of its release, thereby reducing unnecessary jeopardy to the patient. Authors Dr. Michael Klepper and Dr. Barton Cobert, who together bring decades of pharmaceutical research and drug safety expertise, discuss how quality planning, safety training and data standardization result in significant cost, time and resource savings. Through illustrative, step-by-step instruction, Drug Safety Data: How to Analyze, Summarize and Interpret to Determine Risk provides the definitive guide to drug safety data analysis and reporting. Key features include: Step-by-step instruction on how to analyze, summarize and interpret safety data for mandatory governmental safety reports Pragmatic tipsàand mistakes to avoid Simple explanations of what safety data are collected, and what the data mean Practical approaches to determining a drug effect and understanding its clinical significance Guidance for determining risk throughout the lifecycle of a drug, biologic or nutraceutical Examples of user-friendly data displays that enhance safety signal identification Ways to improve data quality and reduce the time, resources and costs involved in mandatory safety reporting Relevant material for the required training of drug safety/pharmacovigilance professionals SPECIAL FEATURE: Actual examples of an Integrated Analysis of Safety (IAS) -used in the preparation of the Integrated Summary of Safety (ISS) and the Summary of Clinical Safety (SCS) reports -, and the Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR)

The Practical Drug Safety from A to Z is an alphabetical guide to drug safety monitoring (pharmacovigilance), covering literally, the "A to Z" of maintaining drug safety. Written by experts in the field, this book is a perfect to companion to the Manual of Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance and an essential reference for pharmacists, pharmacologists, hospital administrators, medical liability lawyers, and others.

This practical guide presents a road map for safety assessment as an integral part of the development of new drugs and therapeutics. Helps readers solve scientific, technical, and regulatory issues in preclinical safety assessment and early clinical drug development Explains scientific and philosophical bases for evaluation of specific concerns – including local tissue tolerance, target organ toxicity and carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, immunogenicity, and immunotoxicity Covers the development of new small and large molecules, generics, 505(b)(2) route NDAs, and biosimilars Revises material to reflect new drug products (small synthetic, large proteins and cells, and tissues), harmonized global and national regulations, and new technologies for safety evaluation Adds almost 20% new and thoroughly updates existing content from the last edition

This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

Drug Safety in Developing Countries: Achievements and Challenges provides comprehensive information on drug safety issues in developing countries. Drug safety practice in developing countries varies substantially from country to country. This can lead to a rise in adverse reactions and a lack of reporting can exasperate the situation and lead to negative medical outcomes. This book documents the history and development of drug safety systems, pharmacovigilance centers and activities in developing countries, describing their current situation and achievements of drug safety practice. Further, using extensive case studies, the book addresses the challenges of drug safety in developing countries. Provides a single resource for educators, professionals, researchers, policymakers, organizations and other readers with comprehensive information and a guide on drug safety related issues Describes current achievements of drug safety practice in developing countries Addresses the challenges of drug safety in developing countries Provides recommendations, including practical ways to implement strategies and overcome challenges surrounding drug safety
