Conducting Post-Authorization Safety Studies (PASS) in Italy: Regulatory and Best Practice Considerations

Post-Authorization Safety Studies (PASS) are vital tools for monitoring the safety of medicines after they have been approved for use in the general population. In the European Union (EU), these studies are conducted within the framework established by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). However, when conducting a PASS under the EMA framework, there might be… Continue reading Conducting Post-Authorization Safety Studies (PASS) in Italy: Regulatory and Best Practice Considerations

Transportability in Real-World Evidence (RWE) Research: Regulatory Considerations

What is Transportability in RWE?Transportability in Real-World Evidence (RWE) research refers to the ability to extend findings from one study population to a different, but related, population. This concept is critical when evaluating whether treatment effects observed in one geographical region, healthcare system, or patient cohort could be generalized to another population with different demographic,… Continue reading Transportability in Real-World Evidence (RWE) Research: Regulatory Considerations
