Safety, Pharmacovigilance and Benefit–Risk

  • Safety Monitoring & Risk Mitigation in Clinical Development
  • Signal detection & aggregate reporting; RMPs/REMS
  • Risk–benefit frameworks and patient-centric safety endpoints
  • Post-marketing safety, pregnancy registries, and special populations
  • Device/combination product vigilance

Drug safety doesn’t end with approval—it evolves continuously. Safety, Pharmacovigilance & Benefit–Risk explores the systems, science, and governance that protect patients throughout a medicine’s lifecycle. This session highlights how proactive surveillance, data integration, and regulatory alignment can detect signals earlier, respond faster, and communicate risks transparently. Attendees will gain a deep understanding of global pharmacovigilance frameworks—FDA FAERS, EMA EudraVigilance, MHRA Yellow Card, and WHO VigiBase—and how these databases inform modern signal detection strategies.

Key areas include aggregate reporting, RMPs/REMS planning, and benefit–risk modeling using Bayesian and causal inference approaches. The track emphasizes how AI and natural language processing are transforming case intake, coding, and literature monitoring. Participants will explore signal validation workflows, quantitative disproportionality analysis, and the creation of integrated safety datasets across clinical, post-marketing, and real-world evidence sources. The goal is to move from reactive to predictive safety management.

Case studies demonstrate how companies have applied integrated pharmacovigilance systems to manage emerging risks, such as immunogenicity, class-wide toxicities, or device malfunctions. The session also delves into risk communication—developing plain-language summaries, field safety notices, and regulatory submissions that balance transparency with accuracy. For professionals attending a Pharmaceutical Conference, this session provides a comprehensive review of evolving legislation, from EU GVP Module revisions to FDA’s Sentinel Initiative. The importance of quantitative benefit–risk assessment frameworks is also explored, showing how structured decision-making supports both regulators and sponsors.

With pharmacovigilance becoming increasingly data-driven, this session helps organizations design end-to-end safety architectures—spanning signal management, aggregate reporting, and periodic safety updates—supported by validated technology platforms and global compliance systems.
