Reconciliation with Partners, Clinical Database
With the objective to ensure data consistency between Safety and Clinical Databases, our team designs reports, electronic tools and computerized processes to ensure a seamless reconciliation process. We help companies achieve speedy data lock at the close of a trial.
Global Literature Search & Review for Safety Relevant Publications
Soterius’ literature surveillance includes a thorough search of literature databases like Embase, PubMed, etc. through pre-defined search strategies.
A typical search strategy consists of drug terms combined with specific terms, using Boolean operators to optimize precision and recall of the literature output. We use our own or third party technology tools to further process literature abstracts, making summarized, coded, and processed results available to our clients.
Aggregate Reports Authoring – PSUR, ASR & PADER
We prepare aggregate reports as per applicable regulatory requirements. Our team has the expertise to support Clinical Trial Sponsors and Marketing Authorization Holders in presenting a comprehensive, thoughtful review and evaluation of pertinent safety information collected during the reporting period for the drug under investigation or approved in a region.
We help our clients actively manage reporting calendars, coordinate information gathering, when required, and produce submission ready aggregate reports.
Signal Detection & Signal Management
Soterius can support the sponsor in performing signal detection activities on various data sources such as case data captured in databases (Safety and/ or clinical), literature analysis, regulatory websites, other data sources. Our team also supports in presenting a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis of safety information as a structured Signal Detection Report that is discussed with various stakeholders and in the Safety review committee meetings. Any potential signals thus identified are validated by assessing the cumulative datasets and targeted data outputs.
RMP/REMS Authoring & Updates
Soterius can support sponsors in authoring and update of the Risk Management Plans (RMP) and Riks Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) to support the marketing authorization applications. The team can support in authoring and update of RMPs/ REMS across regions.QPPV Services
Soterius can provide sponsors with the services of QPPV, Responsible Person for Clinical Safety for the EU (RPEV) and Local Safety contact.
As part of the pharmacovigilance system, the marketing authorisation holder shall have permanently and continuously at its disposal an appropriately qualified person responsible for pharmacovigilance in the EU (QPPV). Soterius’s QPPVs have adequate theoretical and practical knowledge for the performance of pharmacovigilance activities. The QPPV shall be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the marketing authorisation holder’s pharmacovigilance system and therefore shall have sufficient authority to influence the performance of the quality system and the pharmacovigilance activities and to promote, maintain and improve compliance with the legal requirements.
The RPEV supports the sponsors in overseeing safety reporting requirements for the ongoing studies, performing registration of RP in EudraVigilance and managing user access for the sponsor in EudraVigilance database.
Regulatory Responses
We can support sponsors in providing responses to various regulatory agencies’ requests including queries on risk Management plans, signal assessments, aggregate reports, investigator brochures, marketing authorization applications, inspection queries etc. Our team can support the sponsors with the tracking of timelines, data collection, co-ordination with various stakeholders, as required. Our team can also perform the critical analysis of safety data, as per the regulatory requests and help with presenting a comprehensive, thoughtful review and evaluation of pertinent safety information, as per the regulatory agency query.
CCDS Authoring
We can support sponsors in authoring core company data sheets.
Regulatory Intelligence
The regulatory intelligence process at Soterius includes identifying relevant regulatory information from various sources and communicating the information to the key stakeholders for analysis with the overall intent of monitoring the existing and changing regulatory landscape for opportunities to create/modify processes and associated documents.
We can perform regulatory intelligence activities for our clients to obtain information regarding the current trends, regulatory updates, changes in the guidances, etc. This is done through a review of various regulatory websites, literature review, etc.
Product-specific regulatory/market intelligence can also be built into the process, as required by the client. The information obtained from such a search is assessed for its impact on existing processes, organizational strategy, training, or other procedures. After a thorough impact assessment, a decision may be taken regarding action items, deliverables, and timelines.
