Aggregate Reports in Pharmcovigilance

Taking emerging adverse events in its ambit, Aggregate reports (PSURs/PBRERs/DSURs) aim to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of the risk benefit balance of the product. They periodically create the golden opportunity for an overall safety re-evaluation thus providing an insight into any investigations or any changes which need to be made to the product information. Several sources contribute to the formation of the aggregate reports viz. Spontaneous reports, observational studies, and data from clinical and non-clinical studies to mention a few. In light of the complexity of the document and the exacting and inflexible regulations, preparation of aggregate reports of the highest quality and timely submission is a major challenge globally.

Pharmacovigilance is the science which deals with the activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of ADRs. The scope of Pharmacovigilance has evolved. We now recognize the significance of a systematic approach to monitoring and improving the safe use of medicines. Aggregate reporting is the process that examines the collective safety information from a broad range of sources systematically and gives the conclusions to regulators worldwide. 

The aggregate safety records are presented to regulators as soon as the medicine is marketed all-around and facilitates understanding of the product’s risk and benefit profile over time. These reports focus not on individual cases, but preferably on overview, assessment of the safety profile and benefit-risk-evaluation of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) and the Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and pregnancy reports.

Why is aggregate reporting critical in Pharmacovigilance?

Though the Original case safety reports were tendered on an expedited basis to regulatory authorities, detailed analysis and evaluation of a drug’s benefit/risk ratio are not possible at this level. Therefore, periodically reviewing safety reports received cumulatively worldwide becomes highly significant to analyze the product’s benefit/risk balance. These reports need exceptional diligence and attention to detail, including an overview and a sense of what is essential, on the other hand.

At the individual case safety reports level, marketing authorization holders (MAH) can’t evaluate the benefit/risk ratio profile and understand a medicinal product’s detailed safety feature.  In addition to presenting individual case safety reports, MAH also evaluates regular reviews of collective safety information obtained from various sources and presents the conclusions of aggregate reports to drug regulators. 

Types of aggregate reports:

Pre-marketing report:

  • Clinical study reports (CSR)
  • Development Safety Update Report (DSUR)

Post-marketing report: 

  • Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR)/Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report (PBRER)
  • Periodic Adverse Drug Experience Report (PADER). 
  • NDA and ANDA annual reports

Aggregate reporting is an indispensable tool to analyze a medicinal product’s benefit/risk balance throughout its life cycle.
