FAQs

The primary purpose is to assess the effectiveness and compliance of signal detection, evaluation, and management processes in accordance with GVP Module IX requirements.

By ensuring robust signal management processes, the checklist helps in early detection and evaluation of potential safety issues, leading to timely risk minimization actions and improved product safety.

Audits should involve pharmacovigilance auditors, signal management specialists, safety physicians, and data scientists responsible for signal detection and evaluation activities.

The checklist covers areas such as signal detection methodologies, signal validation processes, signal prioritization strategies, signal evaluation procedures, and documentation of signal-related activities.

Signal management audits should be conducted periodically, typically annually, or more frequently if significant changes occur in the signal management system or regulatory requirements.
