Learn how to set up PMDA Post-Market aggregate reports and generate PMDA Post-Market report tables.

About PMDA Post-Market Reports

Vault Safety provides Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) Post-Market report authoring and table generation capabilities. The Vault Safety PMDA Post-Market report adheres to the PMDA Guide to Electronic Reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions and Infectious Diseases. In addition, for Japan Post-Market Serious (J-PSR) reports, Vault tracks reporting interval dates and combines data from new and previous reporting intervals to cover up to several years of information.

The following table summarizes the PMDA Post-Market tabulations that Vault Safety generates:

Tabulation Generated by Default? Masking Support?
NUPR Line Listing Form 7-2 Yes No
J-PSR Cumulative Tabulation of Adverse Events Form 3 No No
J-PSR Line Listing of Adverse Events Form 4 No No

Prerequisites

Consider the following prerequisites before you generate PMDA Post-Market report tables:

Create a PMDA Post-Market Aggregate Report

Create a PMDA Post-Market aggregate report and specify the report settings.

Add a PMDA Post-Market Report

Follow these steps to create a PMDA Post-Market report.

  1. In the Vault primary navigation bar, select Aggregate Reports > PMDA Post-Market, and then select Create.
  2. Complete the fields on the Create PMDA Post-Market page.
  3. Save the page.

Result

The PMDA Post-Market record enters the Pending state. The system assigns a task to applicable users to review the report details and generates an Interval Dates section.

PMDA Post-Market Fields

You can specify the following fields for a PMDA Post-Market aggregate report:

Field Description
Product Family (Required)

Select the Reporting Family configured for aggregate reporting.

To learn more, see Configure Aggregate Reporting Families.
Organization This field is automatically populated with the Organization on the selected Reporting Family.
Data Period Start (Required)

Enter the start date for the reporting period.

Vault uses the Cases within the reporting period to generate the table data. Cases are included when the date corresponding to the Filter Case By setting is within the reporting period.

Cumulative reports do not consider the start date. The data period contains all Cases up to the Data Period End Date.

Vault adds this date to the Interval Start Date field of the related or current Interval Dates record.

To learn more, see How Aggregate Reports Filter by Data Period.
Data Period End (Required)

Enter the end date for the reporting period.

Vault adds this date to the Interval End Date field of the related or current Interval Dates record.

To learn more, see How Aggregate Reports Filter by Data Period.
Previous J-PSR Report

When generating J-PSR tabulations as part of the PMDA Post-Market report, you can select a previously generated J-PSR report for that Product Family if a prior reporting interval exists.

Vault copies Interval Date records from the selected report into the current report. You can view the selected report through the link in the Previous Aggregate Report field of the related Interval Dates record.

If you change the Previous J-PSR Report value, Vault updates the Interval Date records based on the new selection.

To learn more, see How Aggregate Reports Filter by Data Period.
Filter Case By

To customize how Vault filters Cases within the specified date range, select an option:

  • Case Receipt Date / New Info Date: The latest date when the source provided information, from the most recent available date in the Receipt Date and New Info Date fields.
  • Case Approval Date: The date when the Case moved into the Approved state. If the Case was revised for a non-significant follow-up, the most recent approval date is used.
  • Local Awareness Date: For Japan Localized Cases, the date the local affiliate became aware of the report.

If this field is blank, Vault uses the Case Receipt Date/New Info Date.

Include Criteria Page on Documents

Select the checkbox to add a tab at the beginning of the aggregate report document detailing the criteria used to generate the report.

When selected, the criteria page summarizes the following:

  • Report Parameters (including, the Document Name and Organization)
  • Filter Parameters (for example, the Product Family, report period start and end date, and States to Include)
  • Output Parameters (for example, Indicate Unexpected Terms and any additional fields displayed)
  • Legend (for example, an asterisk (*) indicates an Unexpected Event)

The criteria page is in English on Japanese reports.

States to Include (Required)

Select the states that Cases must be in to be included in the report.

By default, only Cases in the Approved, Closed, Superseded, and Medical Review states are included. Although Superseded is not listed as an option, it is included within the Closed state. Only system-provided states in the Case Processing lifecycle are supported.

Documents to Generate

You can select which documents to generate. The following options are available:

  • NUPR Line Listing Form 7-2
  • J-PSR Cumulative Tabulation of Adverse Events Form 3
  • J-PSR Line Listing of Adverse Events Form 4

Interval Dates

When you create a PMDA Post-Market report, Vault generates an Interval Dates section and populates an Interval Date record for the current report, showing the selected start and end dates for the reporting interval. If you populate the Previous J-PSR Report field when creating the report, Vault also copies all of the Interval Date records from the selected report into the current report. This supports tracking reporting cycles, which Vault uses to generate reports that combine new and previous reporting intervals to cover several years of data, per PMDA regulations.

Interval Date Fields

Field Description
Name Vault generates a name for the Interval Date record.
Interval Start Date

Vault maps the value entered in the Date Period Start field when creating the report.

If the Date Period Start value is updated, Vault updates this field with the new value.

Interval End Date

Vault maps the value entered in the Date Period End field when creating the report.

If the Date Period End value is updated, Vault updates this field with the new value.

Current Interval

Vault populates "Yes" for the latest reporting interval and "No" for previous reporting intervals.

When a new PMDA Post-Market report is created for a Product Family, Vault updates this value to "No" on the previous reporting interval for the Product Family.

Current Aggregate Report

For each Interval Date record, Vault populates a link to the current aggregate report for that Product Family's reporting cycle.

Vault updates this value on all related records when a new PMDA Post-Market report is created for the Product Family.

Previous Aggregate Report

For each Interval Date record, Vault populates a link to the aggregate report used to define the date intervals.

This field is blank for the current interval.

Generate PMDA Post-Market Tabulations

Review and verify the report settings. Once you have confirmed the report details are correct, use the Generate Aggregate Report Tabulations action to generate PMDA Post-Market report tables.

PMDA Post-Market Table Generation Data Mapping

Vault Safety populates aggregate report tables using Cases within the reporting period specified on the PMDA Post-Market report, and the reporting family members configured on the associated Reporting Family.

The following sections describe how Vault Safety generates PMDA Post-Market tabulations:
