What is Signal Management?

The EMA Good Vigilance Practice (GVP) Annex I defines the Signal Management process as “A set of activities performed to determine whether, based on an examination of individual case safety reports (ICSRs), aggregated data from active surveillance systems or studies, scientific literature information or other data sources, there are new risks associated with an active substance or a medicinal product or whether known risks have changed, as well as any related recommendations, decisions, communications and tracking.”
