Study Notes

Hypertension Outcomes

  • High systolic and diastolic blood pressures are associated with organ damage secondary to hypertension, stroke, and cardiovascular events.

Quality Assurance

  • Design space is the multidimensional combination and interaction of input variables and process parameters that provide assurance of quality.

Safety Database

  • A safety database consists of patient exposure data, such as 461 patients exposed for 3 months, 343 patients exposed for 6 months, and so on.

ICH Data Requirement

  • The ICH data requirement for long-term safety has not been met in the manufacturing department.

Ethics Committee

  • Approval from the ethics committee is necessary for conducting a study.

Regulation EC 469/2009

  • Regulation EC 469/2009 provides the opportunity to obtain an SPC (Supplementary Protection Certificate).

Post-Authorization Safety Study (PASS)

  • Procedures for a non-interventional imposed PASS may include submitting a final assessment by pharmacovigilance risk assessment and a final study report with results.

OPDP Response

  • OPDP (Office of Prescription Drug Promotion) will not take action in response to a promotional communication regulated by the USFDA or EMA.

CTD Module

  • Information on the quality of a medicinal product is noted in Module 2 of the CTD (Common Technical Document).

Drug Classification

  • A product can be classified as a drug if it makes a claim that it can prevent a disease, such as "It will prevent colds."

FDA Inspection

  • The FDA considers evaluating the pivotal study design to be an obstruction of an inspection.

Sample Identification

  • Sample containers should be identified with the material name, lot number, container from which the sample was taken, name of person who collected the sample, and date on which the sample was taken.

Authorized Generic Drug

  • An Authorized Generic Drug is not a generic version of a brand-name drug, but rather a duplicate of the brand-name drug made by the same manufacturer.
