Further details of the ACM discussions and advice associated with pre-market items are released within the Australian Public Assessment Reports (AusPars) for each new active. Please note that there is a delay from when an application was considered at ACM, and the publication of the AusPar. Browse all AusPARs.
Section B: Pharmacovigilance
One pharmacovigilance item was referred to the committee for its advice.
The TGA had undertaken a risk-benefit assessment of a medicine previously voluntarily withdrawn from the market.
The ACM provided advice on limitations of published studies, and whether there is now a positive benefit-to-risk balance for an amended indication.
