Drug Safety Medicine

Expert training  in medical and scientific aspects of Drug Safety & Pharmacovigilance

Adequate safety is a prerequisite for any medicinal product.  To manage safety well requires a broad range of medical/clinical and scientific/statistical skills. On-going learning and education is essential to navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of clinical development and in-marketing safety. Let drug safety medicine be you lighthouse, protecting you from hidden perils to bring you safely to your harbor.

Providing subject-matter Mentoring & Tutoring, Workshops & Seminars, On-line learning:  access to specialized actionable knowledge, as you need it, when you need it and how you need it.

An invaluable resource for managing safety smartly and safely to  shorten time to market, reduce development cost, increase long-term market-share, and manage safety obligations wisely.

Safety Matters more & more. Are you ready?

get ready, to be ready, to stay ready

Safety matters to stakeholders. With an increasing number of bio-pharmaceuticals to choose from comes distinction. Differences in perceived safety impact product uptake. Managing safety well is a business-critical investment.

Tailored medicine is here today. Patients and healthcare providers are expecting information to customize therapies, also in terms of safety. Companies are challenged to support personalized risk assessments.

Society has become risk averse. Hesitancy toward vaccination during the pandemic is illustrative. Actively shaping the clinical safety profile and communicating it reassuringly are essential to a product's success.

Medical and scientific topics have moved up the list of inspectorate priorities. Inspectors are asking for detailed discussions of the medical safety evaluation. Sound reflected medical reasoning is expected.

Well-managed clinical trial safety carries forward into the entire life cycle. Choosing exclusion criteria wisely, being selective in safety assessments and monitoring safety diligently, protects patients and products. Clinical acumen is essential.

Demands on the medical safety information provided in marketing authorization applications (MAA) - i.e. Section 2.7.4 of the CTD  are not waning. Building a compelling evidence-based case is non-negotiable.

Regulators expect proactive management of risks. Risk Minimization Measures (RMM) /  Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) require reflected and robust expert clinical input.

Are you ready as medical expertise and scientific acumen are gaining greater prominence in Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance (PV)?
