The primary objective is to assess the quality, completeness, and timeliness of Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs) in accordance with GVP Module VII requirements.
By ensuring thorough and accurate PSURs, the checklist helps in the ongoing evaluation of a product's benefit-risk profile, facilitating timely detection and communication of important safety information.
Audits should involve pharmacovigilance auditors, PSUR writers, safety physicians, regulatory affairs professionals, and data analysts responsible for PSUR preparation and submission.
The checklist covers areas such as data collection and analysis, benefit-risk evaluation, signal detection, literature review, safety communication, and adherence to PSUR submission timelines.
PSUR process audits should be conducted periodically, typically annually, or more frequently if significant changes occur in the pharmacovigilance system or regulatory requirements for PSURs.
