Pharmacovigilance systems for safety monitoring of herbal medicines: assessment of the national regulatory authority, manufacturers and marketing authorisation holders in Tanzania.
J Pharm Policy Pract

School of Pharmacy, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Background: The increase in the consumption of herbal medicines and their documented adverse reactions (ARs) necessitate countries to have good pharmacovigilance (PV) systems at all levels. PV systems should be frequently assessed in a systematic manner with available harmonised tools to monitor the implementation of efforts, strengthen the systems and identify areas for improvement.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the performance of pharmacovigilance and its quality systems for monitoring herbal medicine safety at the National PV Centre at the Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices Authority (TMDA), manufacturers and herbal medicine marketing authorisation holders (MAHs) to identify gaps, challenges and opportunities for improvement.
Challenges in multinational rare disease clinical studies during COVID-19: regulatory assessment of cipaglucosidase alfa plus miglustat in adults with late-onset Pompe disease.

PROPEL (ATB200-03; NCT03729362) compared the efficacy and safety of cipaglucosidase alfa plus miglustat (cipa + mig), a two-component therapy for late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD), versus alglucosidase alfa plus placebo (alg + pbo). The primary endpoint was change in 6-min walk distance (6MWD) from baseline to week 52. During PROPEL, COVID-19 interrupted some planned study visits and assessment windows, leading to delayed visits, make-up assessments for patients who missed ≥ 3 successive infusions before planned assessments at weeks 38 and 52, and some advanced visits (end-of-study/early-termination visits).

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple organ systems, with a prevalence of 1:6,760-1:13,520 live births in Germany. On the molecular level, TSC is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in either of the genes TSC1 or TSC2, encoding the Tuberin-Hamartin complex, which acts as a critical upstream suppressor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a key signaling pathway controlling cellular growth and metabolism. Despite the therapeutic success of mTOR inhibition in treating TSC-associated manifestations, studies with mTOR inhibitors in children with TSC above two years of age have failed to demonstrate beneficial effects on disease-related neuropsychological deficits.

In the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidance on General Principles for Planning and Design of Multi-Regional Clinical Trials (E17), it is important to evaluate the consistency of treatment effect across regions in a multi-regional clinical trial (MRCT). In this paper, we elaborated on some basic considerations to evaluate consistency. We first list the design considerations, and then provide consistency evaluation and interpretation on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy, safety, and benefit-risk.

Digital therapeutics (DTx) are an emerging medical therapy comprising evidence-based interventions that are regulatory approved for patient use, or are under development, for a variety of medical conditions, including hypertension, cancer, substance use disorders and mental disorders. DTx have significant potential to reduce the overall burden on healthcare systems and offer potential economic benefits. There is currently no specific legal regulation on DTx in the EU.
