  12. Consumer Product Post-Market/In-Market Surveillance • What is it???? The processes whereby manufactures, regulators, health professionals, the public at large, and others monitor the performance and experience related to a given products life-cycle in the open market.

  13. Post-Market/In-Market Surveillance • Why is it necessary????“Your market population will likely be much larger than any of your pre-market test populations”

  14. Post-Market/In-Market Surveillance • “The absence of reliable evidence of risk should not be mistaken for reliable evidence of the absence of risk”

  15. Regulations and Safety The question to ask:Are there systems or processes in place to identify safety issues through methods other than serendipitous discovery? and How do you acknowledge the varying levels of quality and integrity of typical “spontaneous reports” received regarding any consumer product

  16. Post-Market/In-Market Surveillance • Helps identify intended and unintended use patterns that may potentially contribute to Adverse Events • Allows assessment of how the product performs by itself or in the presence of other products or substances • Helps insure that “unique” populations are not adversely affected • Should also help define a relative “Safety profile” What should it accomplish??

  17. Adverse Event Reporting Systems Utilized by Industry:CPSC Monitoring Systems National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS): • Surveys 100 ER’s selected as a nationwide probability sample of all 5,300+ U.S. Hospitals with ER’s • Designed to provide the Commission with evidence of need for: - a product recall - a public awareness campaign - a product safety standard

  18. Adverse Event Reporting Systems Utilized by Industry:CPSC Internal Monitoring Systems Consumer Communications: Individual Reports Involving Death or Injury • Results in CPSC investigation into injury allegations • May include on-site, face-to-face interviews and analysis of the product involved as well as medical records related to the injury Manufacturer Communications (CPSC): Individual Reports Involving Death or Injury

  19. Adverse Event Reporting Systems Utilized by Industry: :FDA Monitoring Systems • FDA MedWatch - Depends on either the patient or a Healthcare Practitioner to identify an effect, identify a suspected cause, question a relationship and report it to a “governmental” body - reporting is typically a “one-way” street (not designed to engage the caller and provide “clinical advice”)

  20. Other External Surveillance Databases, Systems or Services Medical Literature (human & animal) • More in-depth reports with medical details on the injury • Often lacking on “circumstance” info*** (focused on what was done after the exposure) • Often serves as basis or support for “pro-active” regulation (animal or human data)

  21. Other External Surveillance Databases, Systems or Services • Media Clipping Service • Surveys/reports of death or injury in the lay press that involves consumer products • Product Liability Claims

  22. American Assn. Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) Toxic Exposure Surveillance System“TESS” • Designed to allow documenting of all inquiries made to the poison center • Basic set of data elements collected • Provides a good overall picture of the “marketplace” • Very “Sensitive” for certain types of reports but not necessarily “specific”

  23. Toxic Exposure Surveillance System“TESS” • Telephone based reporting: Phone Calls  Exposures  Injury/Poisonings“Hospitalization”  Injury/Poisonings

  24. Minnesota Poison Prevention FindingsY2K • For all pediatric cases, 97.6% result in non-significant outcomes (<=minor effects) and 91.1% of cases result in no reported adverse effects. These outcomes are achieved with fewer than 5 patients receiving specific therapies other than decontamination. • Of all pediatric cases, 666(3.0%) received specific decontamination therapy other than simple dilution/irrigation such as syrup of ipecac or activated charcoal. (The lack of need for specific interventions may be the result of previously cited Minnesota data reporting that more than 55% of exposures from all routes including all reasons are “taste/touch” or mucous membrane types of exposures. These types of trivial exposures represent 71% of all “ingestions”.)

  25. Adverse Event Reporting Systems Utilized by Industry: EPA Monitoring Systems • Environmental Protection Agency: FIFRA 6(a)(2) • Process maximally engages the Manufacturer in the process - Encouraged and supported Product Stewardship Efforts

  26. AER Systems:EPA Monitoring Systems • 6(a)(2) & Product Stewardship Identify, Manage, Evaluate:Adverse incidents reportedly associated with products • Previous 6(a)(2) Requirements:Only serious or unexpected effects judged related to a product reported to EPA

  27. AER Systems:EPA Monitoring Systems • 1998 Revisions- All cases meeting minimum data elements must be reported to the Agency- No cause and effect relationship need be established- 2 types of reports a) Minor/more common effects aggregated b) More serious effects reported individually- New Penalties a) Civil b) Criminal

  28. Adverse Event Reporting Systems Utilized by Industry: EPA Monitoring Systems • Industry’s Response to the 6(a)(2) Challenge- “Industry’s Voluntary Report Forms” (see: www.fifra6a2.com)General Incident DataAddendum’s for specific eventsReport format for single reportable incidentsGuidance document for form completion

  29. Adverse Event Reporting Systems Utilized by Industry: EPA Monitoring Systems • FOCUS AREAS1) General Incident Data Addendum’s for specific events Report format for single reportable incidents Guidance document for form completion2) Aggregate Reporting Form Guidance Document for form completion

  30. 6(a)(2) Incident Reporting Process Reported Event Administrative Incident Data Single Incident Report (Significant Reportable Incident) Human Data Fish Wildlife Plants, NonTarget Organisms Data Domestic Animal Data Severity Classification Surface Water Data Ground Water Data Property Damage Data Aggregate Incident Report Minor and/or More Common Reportable Incidents

  31. Classification of Incidents Involving Humans • Aggregate Incident Report(Collect 3 months, report in 2)Minor and/or More Common Reportable IncidentsH-D • Single Incidents Reports:Significant Reportable Incident H-B, H-C (Collect 1 month report following month) H-A (Human Death: Report within 15 days of notification)

  32. Classification of Incidents

  33. Challenges in Incident Classification • Additional Considerations“Duration” vs. “Intensity of clinical effects”

  34. Evolution of the PROSAR Model • Strongly influenced by national Product Stewardship efforts by Industry- Responsible Care- Responsible Distribution- ProductCare • Also influenced by evolution of “standard of care” as the model proliferated (consumer expectations)

  35. Product Stewardship • CSPA – ProductCare VisionTo promote the production and distribution of safe and effective formulated products that provide desirable benefits for household, commercial, institutional and industrial customers and consumers, and their families, pets and their environment.

  36. Product Stewardship(eg. CSPA Product Care) • In-Market Support, Incident Evaluation and Follow-up • Principle 5 • We will support dissemination of safety related product information regarding routine use of our products that is accurate, complete and in context to the inquiry or concern • When product-related incidents occur, we will have systems in place to minimize adverse effects, assist our consumers/customers and provide needed information

  37. Product Stewardship(eg. CSPA Product Care) • In-Market Support, Incident Evaluation and Follow-up • Principle 5 (cont.) • We will strive to influence product and label design as well as develop educational messages on safe and responsible product use based on information regarding unintended events and other types of exposures involving our products

  38. PROSAR IPC Incident Monitoring Systems Data Collection: • Information system and data collection tools based on basic subset of information fields • Basic subset captures both TESS data elements and EPA data elements. • Proprietary “Case Manager” further individualizes data fields depending on the client and the Industry • Heavily focused on documenting events surrounding the exposure, product specific details, other conditions affecting product use

  39. PROSAR IPC Incident Monitoring Systems Data Collection: • Product Specific DetailsMultiple methods of product verificationEvaluating the role of labelingMarketing

  40. PROSAR IPC Incident Monitoring Systems Case Analysis and Incident Severity Assessments: • Not designed to determine “relatedness” • Based on a “consistency” rating (eg. Likelihood that based on all available factors, exposure outcome and severity appears to be either consistent, inconsistent, or indeterminable, with the known toxicologic/safety profile • Proprietary “Case Manager” further individualizes data fields depending on the client and the Industry

  41. PROSAR IPC Incident Monitoring Systems Surveillance, Analysis, and Benchmarking: • Benchmarking is provided through an automated data analysis system: PSI (PROSAR Safety Index)

  42. PROSAR Safety Index • Designed to help identify when to “take a closer look” • Analytical tool to aid in identifying products that fall outside of their normal safety profile • Based on the total number of “significant outcomes” compared against all symptomatic incidents involving a given product or class of products for a given time period • Initially calculated at the following levels: • Individual product • Company • PROSAR (also allows normalizing with product sales data)

  43. Future Levels of Incident Evaluation • Next level of Incident Assessment:“Registry” approach to follow-up Product Surveillance The SAS Initiative (Safety Assurance Surveillance)

  44. Responding to a “serious” event • Action is typically dictated by:- type of incident- supporting documentation- existing regulatory reporting requirements- ability to investigate, verify, and add definition

  45. Telephone Based Incident Data:Strengths/Limitations of SpontaneousReported Data

  46. Strengths • Monitoring for Sentinel Events: • Critical Mass increases likelihood of discovery • Hypothesis Generation: • Background noise vs. emerging issue • Aids in Design of Research? • Generation of Safety Profile: • Sufficient “Penetrance”? • Insure representative sample  relative intensity

  47. Limitations • Outcome Severity Classifications • Some symptoms not amenable to clear-cut classification • Indirect vs. Direct Effects • Physiologic vs. Psychologic S/S • Assessment of Causation/Relatedness • Data does not lead to determination of “cause and effect” relationship • At best may suggest an Epidemiological Association • Under-reporting/Over-reporting • reporting of “real” vs. “perceived” threats • Media and promotion • Possible “link” not recognized

  48. Limitations continued • Accuracy and Report Quality • Voluntary vs. Mandatory • Spontaneous Reports  Rigorous Prospective Clinical Research • Objective vs. Subjective Data • Translation of layman’s symptom descriptions into complex medical terminology (i.e. paresthesias, numbness, tingling, peripheral neuropathy) • Second hand reporting • Hidden agenda’s

  49. Implications for the LSRO Project • Metabolife Analysis -- Outstanding Issues:Report quality and integrityAbility to verify individual incidentsAbility to verify exact product(s) involvedLaboratory confirmationHidden Agenda’sCollection of data in a systematic formatNormalizing for product sales(eg. DEET)Independent verification of informationAbility to follow-up at this late date
