Pharmacovigilance

Signal Management and Benefit-Risk Assessment

Proactive signal detection, benefit-risk analysis and periodic safety reports (PBRER / DSUR).

Finding Risks Early

Signal management is the process of detecting, validating, analysing and acting on new information about the risks of a medicinal product, as described in GVP Module IX. It feeds directly into the benefit-risk evaluation of every product.

URAS PV performs regular signal detection, documents each step, and prepares periodic safety reports such as PBRERs (ICH E2C(R2)) and DSURs (ICH E2F).

Our services include:

  • Signal detection from safety databases and literature
  • Signal validation, prioritisation and assessment
  • Signal tracking and documentation
  • Benefit-risk analysis
  • PBRER / PSUR preparation
  • DSUR preparation for products in clinical development

How We Work

Detection

Safety data are reviewed regularly to identify potential signals.

02

Evaluation

Signals are validated, analysed and their impact on the benefit-risk balance assessed.

03

Action

Outcomes are documented and communicated, including updates to product information when needed.
