AI / GxP Governance

AI-assisted pharmacovigilance and automated regulatory intelligence must meet GxP, validation, and human oversight expectations. Track FDA, EMA, and industry guidance on AI in drug safety, algorithm change control, audit trails, and governance models that keep signal detection and case processing inspection-ready.

MHRA updates SaMD/AIaMD guidance, highlighting PCCP and transparency principles

Urgency: High

Ask the safety/device vigilance and PV CSV leads to: (1) confirm whether any marketed/fielded SaMD/AIaMD uses adaptive ML or planned updates that would fit a PCCP-like approach; (2) review current change-control SOPs and technical documentation to ensure change governance and transparency artifacts are captured and retrievable; (3) verify post-market/vigilance processes explicitly account for algorithm updates (e.g., monitoring after updates, escalation criteria).

FDA posts January 2025 draft Level 1 guidance on AI use

Urgency: High

1) Inventory AI use cases that could feed regulated decisions (including PV/safety-related analyses or summaries used in regulatory interactions) and map owners/vendors. 2) For each AI use case, document context of use, intended outputs, and controls (e.g., review/approval, traceability, change management) aligned to a draft-guidance tracking plan. 3) Track the Federal Register notice and plan whether to submit comments within the window described by FDA (90 days after Federal Register publication).
