    EU-RMP Vs US REMS

    This document compares and contrasts EU Risk Management Plans (RMPs) and US Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS). Both systems were created to manage risks associated with pharmaceutical products, but they differ in their scope and requirements. The EU RMP is a compulsory, comprehensive risk management system for all approved products, while the US REMS only applies to certain high-risk drugs and can expire after two years. Both systems aim to communicate risks and ensure benefits outweigh costs, but the EU RMP takes a more proactive approach to early risk detection and ongoing risk minimization activities.

    The key takeaways are that risk management is important for drug safety and both the EU RMP and US REMS systems aim to minimize risks but have some differences in their approaches.

    A risk is defined as a situation that could have an undesirable or dangerous outcome. It also refers to the probability of damage, injury, loss or other negative occurrence caused by internal or external factors. Risks are defined from both an Oxford dictionary and business perspective in the text.

    A risk management system is a set of pharmacovigilance activities and interventions designed to identify, characterize, prevent or minimize risks related to medicinal products. It also includes assessing the effectiveness of these interventions.

    WHAT IS A RISK ?
    Risk is a situation that could be dangerous or have an undesirable outcome.( Oxford dictionary) A probability or threat of a damage, injury, liability, loss, or other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities, and that may be neutralized through pre-emptive action.(Business dictionary)

    RISK MANAGEMENT
    Companies must perform pre-market assessment and evaluation of potential risks associated with a product to determine the benefit/risk balance associated with a product and measures that will be put into place to minimize the risk of adverse medical consequences.

    RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


    A risk management system is a set of pharmacovigilance activities & interventions designed to identify, characterise, prevent or minimise risk relating to medicinal products, includes the assessment of the effectiveness of these interventions.

    EMA & FDA


    EU & US have different approaches to drug safety due to difference in histories and philosophies. EMA : European Medicines Agency (1995) FDA : Food and Drug Administration (1930) The RMP and REM are risk strategy systems by EMA and FDA respectively.

    EMA & FDA


    FDA regulations regarding risk management has been growing since Thalidomide was found to cause birth defects. The passage of the Food & Drug administration amendment act of 2007 (FDAAA) mandated enforceable guidelines referred to as REMS. EU RMP implemented to law in 2005.

    EU-RMP & US REMS


    EU-RMP :European union risk management plan are written documents that outline the product risks, the post marketing surveillance plan and risk minimization activities. US REMS : United states risk evaluation and mitigation strategies is a strategy to manage a known or potential serious risk associated with a drug or biological product.

    EU-RMP & US REMS


    RMP and REMS are distinctly different but aim at achieving the same goal. The EU RMP is a compulsory requirement for all products to be submitted for registration in the European union. The US REMS is compulsory only for some medicines and can be limited to two years post product lunch.

    CONSIDERATIONS FOR US REMS


    Size of population likely to use the drug Seriousness of the disease or condition indicated for the drug Expected benefit of the drug with respect to the disease condition its been used for. Duration of treatment Seriousness of any known or potential adverse event.

    Whether the drug is a new molecular entity.

    REMS will be required if the FDA finds that REMS is necessary to ensure that the benefits of the drug or biological product outweigh the risk of the product.

    COMPONENTS
    The US REMS consists of : Medication Guide Communication Plan Elements to Assure Safe Use (ETASU) Implementation System Timetable for Submission of Assessments.

    COMPONENTS
    The main components of an EU RMP are : Safety Specification . Pharmacovigilance Plan. Evaluation of the need of risk minimisation activities. Risk minimisation plan Summary of EU RMP. Contact person details.

    Template for EU RMP http://eudravigilance.ema.europa.eu/human/ docs/19263206en.pdf Aspects absent from EU RMP but present in US REMS include specification of distribution or dispensing & monitoring of distribution.

    The REMS concerns itself with communication of risk, with the PI(Package Insert) been an integral part. The EU RMP is more complex, more far reaching safety package that sponsors are obliged to implement.

    The EU RMP aims at a proactive approach to the detection and assessment of risk and concurrent risk minimisation activities at an early stage. The EU RMP , with its built in precautionary measures and comprehensiveness would reduce or help avoid events like that of Vioxx and Avandia.

    CONCLUSION
    Importance of risk management cannot be over emphasised US REMS and EU RMP both helps to minimise risk. The EU RMP is an engagement of wider scope and is binding on wider set of medicines than the US REMS.
