PoP/PoC
study i wich we go for a new target; new kind of approach; try to show that hitting that target results in the resolution of the problem and the efficacy you are looking for

Adverse event
Any untoward medical occurrence in a subject to whom a medicinal product is administered and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment
eg. Headache, acute myocardial infarction, arthritis,…
adverse reaction
A response to a medicinal product which is noxious and unintended, and which occurs at doses normally used in man for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease or for the restoration, correction or modification of physiological function
blooc clot after vaccine
Serious adverse event, SAE
= any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: so it is considered serious if the outcome are:
results in death,
is life-threatening,
requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation,
results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or
is a congenital anomaly or birth defect.
Unexpected adverse reaction
an adverse reaction, the nature or severity of which is not consistent with the information on the experiment, and, when a clinical trial is concerned, with the applicable product information
(e.g. investigator’s brochure for an unauthorised investigational product or the patient leaflet joined to the summary of product characteristics for an authorised product)
eg. Stomach ache following pain killers
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction, SUSAR
A serious adverse reaction, the nature, severity or outcome of which is not consistent with the reference safety information
Eg. psychosis/delirium in anti-epileptic medication
Clinical event of interest
= very specific adverse reactions that can be expected within a clinical trial and can be serious
Eg. thrombolytics → bleeding
Eg. Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI)
Eg. Vaccines potential immune-mediated disorders
pharmacolvigilance is
all processes concerning vigilance and evaluation of side effects (ADR) of the drug for FAMPH
since and activities concerning the follow-up, evaluation, understanding, and prevalence of side effects of other drug-related problem, ADE occurring with a drug WHO
causality assesment
evaluation of the likelihood that a particular treatment is the cause of an observed adverse event and is essential to be done and reported to the sponsor, regulatory agencies and safety monitoring committees.

PAMPA
parallel artificial membrane permeation assay
reservoir system
enteral controlled released system
API is in the core and is coated with a polymer coating (insoluble, slow release, pH dependent table etc. Once swallowed, water and gastric fluid start to penetrate through the coating, the API get dissolved and diffuse through the coating through the dosage form
matric system
enteral controllled release
they are either hydrophilic - polymer in which the API is embedded and start to dissolve very slowly. The gel gets dissolved in the function of the time size of the dosage form
buccal tablet
they work based on the adhesion to the mouth via cross-linked polyacrylic acid. the tablet stick to the mounts and with water the material start to form a gel and the API is slowly released in the mount. VEry efficient
suspension what is needed to keep nit in suspension
it need wetting agents such as surfactant to ensure contact between liquid and solid phase and visocisty increasing agent to prevent and reduce seimentation as well as pay attention to the size of the particle of the API
cream and ointment difference
ointment does not contain water, only the API some lipid and the surfactant
cream need an emulsifier to keep the water in
TTS
transdermal therapeutic systems
stick to you skin and the API get delivered through the ski at constant rate
it is done through a rate controlling polymeric (itself regulate and act as a controlling device) membrane at the bottom and underneat an adbhesive layer. at the top there is athe reservoir with a suspension that dispense the API
microparticle based on biodegradable system
can be given SC or IM - those polymer degrade very shwoly with the API degradation over a few week
there are microcrystal of poorly soluble drug
you can make an ester of these APIs to make the solubility even lower and put it into an injectable system that will dissolve at a steady rate in the muscle over a period of three months
