Periodic Adverse Drug Experience Report PADER

Post-approval cumulative reports of safety include Periodic Adverse Drug Experience Reports (PADERs) in the U.S. and Periodic Safety Update
Reports (PSUR) in many other regions, including in Europe. Their purpose is to update and evaluate the worldwide safety experience with a medicine
at defined time points after approval. Generally speaking, the Periodic Adverse Drug Experience Report PADER provide succinct summary information together with an evaluation of the benefit-risk profile of approved medicines in the light of new or changing post-approval information. This evaluation is designed to help ascertain whether further investigations are necessary and whether changes should be made to the approval or to the medicine’s labeling. In summary, the aim of cumulative reports of safety is to:

  • Report all the relevant new information from appropriate sources
  • Relate these data to patient exposure to the medicine
  • Summarize the medicine’s approval status in different countries and any significant variations related to safety
  • Create periodically the opportunity for an overall reevaluation of safety
  • Indicate whether changes should be made to an approved medicine’s label in order to optimize the use of the product

PSUR Repository

Planning and preparation of the PSUR

The use of the PSUR Repository has become mandatory in the European Union on 13 June 2016. The PSUR repository is a single, central platform for PSURs and related documents to be used by all regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical companies in the EU.

EMA´s  Introductory cover note to the PSUR submission defines the procedure and how PSURs should be prepared and submitted for medicinal products in Europe.

Information important for the submission of the PSUR

For more details on the submission process please refer to the page Periodic safety update reports: questions and answers in the EMA Website.
