Current Challenges Pre and Post-Marketing LA Pre Lack of Harmonization between LA countries Timelines Communication on Updates and changes Outside SUSAR definition for Local Expedited When SUSAR not all countries accept in the language that the CIOMS/MW are generated Line Listings and PSURs versus own templates Post Only ARG-BRA- MEX have online submissions CIOMS/MW submitted in country s national languages Other LA countries own format for Expedited and Periodic submissions Periodic submissions mostly Line listings Risk-benefit mentioned in ARG and BRA Related cases and not only unexpected (non-susar) Drug Information Association www.diahome.org 11
