Dialog alerts are a central part of our pharmacovigilance literature monitoring solution. They ensure key medical literature is automatically searched on a regular, predictable basis to deliver relevant journal articles for drug safety monitoring. An important part of this is the creation of aggregate reports, used by pharmaceutical and medical device companies for product authorization and ongoing product safety monitoring, including Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSUR); Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report (PBRER); and Development Safety Update Reports (DSUR). Dialog alerts helps optimize the systematic review process, reducing the risk of missing safety findings and report due dates.
Given the important role Dialog alerts play in pharmacovigilance literature monitoring, we’re pleased to announce a further enhancement to Dialog alerts – an even greater range of alert frequencies. You can now choose to receive alerts every 4 hours, daily, weekly, or every 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. And you can completely customize the exact day and hour that you’ll receive your aggregate report searches as alerts, ensuring they fit perfectly into your drug safety monitoring workflow.
Like all Dialog alerts, the new frequency options for aggregate reports include high precision, high recall searches that retrieve clinical and non-clinical studies, conference papers, peer-reviewed scientific literature, and unpublished manuscripts from the following sources:
MEDLINE | Embase | ClinicalTrials.gov (coming soon) | BIOSIS Previews | Derwent Drug File | SciSearch | Northern Light Life Science Conference Abstracts | Allied and Complementary Medicine | International Pharmaceutical Abstracts | Morressier Life Science Conference Abstracts and Posters
Who should use Dialog alerts for drug safety aggregate reports?
Pharmaceutical and medical device companies and the CROs that support them, for product authorization and ongoing benefit-risk product monitoring.
Benefits of using Dialog for literature alerts for pharmacovigilance:
- Get one collated set of literature at defined time points, aligned with report submission date
