Pharmacovigilance (PV) Literature Searches

Information obtained from medical and scientific literature is an important source of patient safety data and can contribute enormously to the safety profile of a medicinal product.  It is a regulatory requirement for the marketing authorisation holder (MAH) of a medicinal product to perform regular searches of the scientific literature, including any unpublished manuscripts and abstracts presented at medical or scientific conferences.

Within this whitepaper we will explore;

• The different types of literature searches
• Regulatory requirements
• Literature search strategy and how these should be constructed in such a way to ensure the optimum retrieval of the most appropriate articles
• The implications of inadequate literature searches
• When to start literature searches
• Examples of inspection findings
