Pharmacoepidemiology and Post-Authorisation Safety Studies

Summary

This accredited course (ECTS 5), offered in collaboration with University of Copenhagen, covers the principles of pharmacoepidemiology, data sources, post-approval safety studies (PASS) and related international legislation and guidelines. The regulations, practices and processes related to PASS are also included, covering both the pharmaceutical industry and the role of the regulatory authorities (EMA, PRAC and CHMP, FDA).

At this five day course, you will acquire an understanding of the different types of evidence produced by pharmacoepidemiological studies of adverse drug effects, and of the strengths and weaknesses of different study designs and methods. Additionally, you get a basic understanding of how to apply these skills in pharmacovigilance and risk management.

After completing the course, you will be able to choose the design and data sources that best fit the purpose of a given study and to critically evaluate published literature on drug safety. You will also know how to integrate results from drug safety surveillance.

At the course, lectures are supplemented with group discussions based on real and simulated safety scenarios and scientific literature. Prior to the course there will be some online theory exercises.

This course is an elective course for students at University of Copenhagen's Master of Industrial Drug Development (MIND). The course is open to single course students and students from other master's programmes.
