Integrating Regulatory Drug Label Information to Facilitate Evaluation of Adverse Events in Pharmacovigilance.

Curr Drug Saf

Global Patient Safety Evaluation, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, MA 02139, United States.

Published: May 2021

Background: Efficiency and accuracy for signal detection and evaluation activities are integral components of routine Pharmacovigilance (PV) practices. However, an Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) may consist of a variety of confounders such as Concomitant Medications (CM), Past Medical History (PMH), and concurrent medical conditions that influence a safety officer's evaluation of a potential Adverse Event (AE). Limited pharmacovigilance systems are currently available as a tool designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of signal detection and management.

Objective: To introduce a systemic approach to make critical safety information readily available for users in order to discern possible interferences from CM and make informed decisions on the signal evaluation process - saving time while improving quality.

Methods: Oracle Empirica Signal software was utilized to extract cases with CM that are Known Implicating Medications (KIM) for each AE according to public regulatory information from drug labels - FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) or EMA Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). SAS Enterprise Guide was used to further process the data generated from Oracle Empirica Signal software.

Results: For any target drug being evaluated for safety purposes, a KIM reference table can be generated, which summarizes all potential causality contributions from CMs.

Conclusion: In addition to providing standalone KIM table as reference, adoption of this concept and automation may also be fully integrated into commercial signal detection and management software packages for easy use and accessibility and may even lead to reduced False Positive rate in signal detection within the PV space.

Sensitive and precise assay of prednisolone, a steroid hormone, has received great attention due to its significant role in the treatment of a series of diseases. In this study, we have developed a simple, quick, and accurate technique in this part to measure prednisolone. Cobalt 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (CoTPyP) as a mimic peroxidase catalyzes the chemiluminescence (CL) reaction of lucigenin for the first time.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major pathogen posing significant challenges to global public health, making early diagnosis critical for preventing severe liver diseases. We previously developed a fluorescent biosensor named PAM-dependent dsDNA Target-activated Cas12f1 Trans Reporter (PDTCTR). However, its reliance on specialized fluorescence equipment and lack of visual readout limited its application in resource-limited settings.

The Beigang pig was recently identified as one of the endangered breeds during a Chinese indigenous pig genetic resource survey. The Beigang breed is notable for its remarkable roughage tolerance and high reproductive capacity according to historical records. Morphologically, the Beigang pig resembles many indigenous pigs in eastern China, especially in its large ears.

Decentralized testing using multiplex lateral flow assays (mLFAs) to simultaneously detect multiple analytes can significantly enhance detection efficiency, reduce cost and time, and improve analytic accuracy. However, the challenges, including the monochromatic color of probe particles, interference between different test lines, and reduced specificity and sensitivity, severely hinder mLFAs from wide use. In this study, we prepared polydopamine (PDA)-coated dyed cellulose nanoparticles (dCNPs@P) with tunable colors as the probe for mLFAs.

Sensitive and rapid detection methods for rare earth elements (REEs), including lanthanides (Lns), will facilitate the mining and recovery of these elements. Here, we innovated a rapid, highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection method for Lns, based on Hans-Lanmodulin, a newly discovered protein with high selectivity and binding affinity for rare earth elements. By labelling the fluorescein moiety FITC onto Hans-Lanmodulin, named as FITC-Hans-LanM.
