Signal Detection & Trending in Veterinary Pharmacovigilance

Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Drug Safety,
  • Monday, September 15, 2014

This webinar focuses on the process of signal detection and trending. Signal detection and trending is a powerful tool used in the management of veterinary medicines. The process of signal
detection (Signal Generation, Signal Strengthening, Signal Assessment and Signal Follow-Up) can generate more signals than true signals. Consequently, methods for ranking signals for further evaluation are required.

There are many methods and tools that can be used and focus will be on those that can be done routinely (VeDDRA coding, case assessment, etc.). For this to be effective, it is essential that harmonized standards are used for the coding, management and analysis of pharmacovigilance data. Examples of signal detection using these tools will be included. Regulatory Agencies are also carrying out signal detection and the process used will be outlined.

Finally, the presenter will discuss how signal detection and trending fit into Benefit-Risk assessments and the management of veterinary medicines.
