Because all safety issues related to a product may not be detected in the premarket phase, FDA receives and analyzes postmarket safety information to determine if events reported in the postmarketing period are likely to be related to exposure to a product. When FDA determines that reported postmarketing events are likely related to a product, FDA can introduce labeling changes and other activities to inform the professional and lay public.

Because the volume of reports is large and because reporting entities (product manufacturers and the professional or lay public) need only suspect a possible link between product exposure and an adverse event, FDA employs specific tools and strategies to assess postmarket safety reports and potential signals that arise from review of these reports. The process for receipt and assessment of such postmarket safety information is referred to as pharmacovigilance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Drugs and biologics (products) receive marketing approval only 
after undergoing premarket review and upon establishment of safety and 
efficacy through adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. Because 
all safety issues related to a product may not be detected in the 
premarket phase, FDA receives and analyzes postmarket safety 
information to determine if events reported in the postmarketing period 
are likely to be related to exposure to a product. When FDA determines 
that reported postmarketing events are likely related to a product, FDA 
can introduce labeling changes and other activities to inform the 
professional and lay public.

[[Page 37817]]

    FDA receives reports through the MedWatch website (https://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm), which are then 
entered into the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System for subsequent 
analysis. Because the volume of reports is large and because reporting 
entities (product manufacturers and the professional or lay public) 
need only suspect a possible link between product exposure and an 
adverse event, FDA employs specific tools and strategies to assess 
postmarket safety reports and potential signals that arise from review 
of these reports. The process for receipt and assessment of such 
postmarket safety information is referred to as pharmacovigilance.
    FDA has a specific regulatory mandate to perform pediatric 
pharmacovigilance and to present or make available the results of such 
pediatric pharmacovigilance to the Pediatric Advisory Committee.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop
