Summary EVDAS Release of EVDAS to NCAs Functionalities included Training of NCAs Next steps
EVDAS (I) The EudraVigilance Data Analysis System is a database for: Answering pharmacovigilance queries Collecting and integrating data from a variety of Source Systems Containing cleaned and consolidated data Preserving historical data
EVDAS (II) ETL Data Analysis EudraVigilance Data Warehouse Adverse Reactions (ICSRs) EudraVigilance Data Warehouse Medicinal Products (EVMPD) ETL User and Organisations MedDRA and Standard Terminology Data Collection – Source systems
Release of EVDAS to NCAs The system has been released in July 2007 to: EMEA internal users National Competent Authorities (NCAs)
EVDAS functionalities Administrative queries Number of ICSRs transmitted Expedited reporting timelines
EVDAS functionalities Pharmacovigilance queries Drug/Reaction Reports Static PRR Reports Dynamic PRR Reports Reaction Monitoring Reports Clinical Trials Reports Patient Age/Sex Reports MedDRA Dictionary Reports Product Dictionary Reports
Number of ICSRs transmitted Safety report received monthly by EMEA (PM top – CT bottom)
Expedited reporting timelines - NCAs Reference period 1 April 2007 - 30 September 2007
Expedited reporting timelines - MAHs Reference period 1 April 2007 - 30 September 2007
Drug-reaction report This report is used to check the frequency of drug/reaction combinations in EVDAS
Static PRR reports Signal highlighted for: PRR 95% LB >1 & COUNT>=3 Signal highlighted for: PRR>2 & CHI^2>4 & COUNT>=3
Static PRR report (graph) Signal highlighted if the box is all included in the area marked in yellow
Static PRR report (MedDRA) Calculation of PRR performed jointly at all levels of the MedDRA hierarchy Signal highlighted for: PRR 95% LB>1 & COUNT>=3
PRR Dynamic Signal highlighted if the lower line (PRR 95% LB) enters in area marked in yellow
Reaction monitoring report Today New Start Monitoring A reaction is displayed in the report only if a new ICSR is received in the monitoring period (“New”)
Clinical Trial Monitoring It is possible to drill to the list of reactions in the trials Monitoring of clinical trials ongoing by EUDRACT Number
Patient Age/Sex Reports Number of cases (y – axis) by age (x – axis) grouped by sex
MedDRA Dictionary Reports It works as a MedDRA browser in EVDAS, it also allows to browse the Standard MedDRA Queries (SMQs)
Training of NCAs Users need to receive appropriate training before accessing EVDAS Training of NCAs is ongoing: 4 training courses have been organised (status 1st October 2007) 55 NCA users have been trained
Next Training Dates Next training dates available for NCAs: 8 – 10 October 22 – 24 October Training dates for Marketing Authorisation Holders will be planned once the Access Policy in EudraVigilance has been approved and implemented in EVDAS
Next steps Access to MAHs/Healthcare Professionals/General public Additional Analyses Stratification Analysis for PRR Medicinal product interactions Integration of Risk Management Plans Integration of Signal Tracking Tool
