About this session

Traditional signal detection leans heavily on spontaneous reporting — and misses much of what real-world clinical practice is telling us. This webcast walks through a proven hybrid approach that blends EudraVigilance and FAERS data with EHR-derived cohorts to surface signals weeks earlier while keeping the noise floor manageable.

We will demo a working detection pipeline, share governance guardrails your QPPV can sign off on, and cover the practical realities of integrating real-world data sources under GVP Module IX revision 2.

Session agenda

14:00 – 14:15
The signal detection gap

Why spontaneous reporting alone leaves too many signals on the table — with numbers.

Building the hybrid pipeline

Architecture walkthrough, EHR cohort curation, statistical thresholds, and QPPV sign-off gates.

14:50 – 15:15
Q&A and governance clinic

Open Q&A focused on GVP Module IX rev 2 alignment and inspection readiness.

Good to know

No. The demo focuses on decisions and outputs, not code — a PV safety scientist will follow it comfortably.

Attendees receive the governance template under a CC BY-NC licence for internal use.

PASS design is touched on where it intersects with signal detection, but is not the primary focus.
