What brings most PV teams here

Three situations where pharma teams
run out of internal capacity.

01

Deadline pressure with no spare writer capacity

PSUR/DSUR dates are set by regulators and data lock points — not by how much your team has on its plate. When a DLP falls in the same month as two other deliverables, internal capacity doesn't expand to meet it. The deadline stays fixed. The gap between workload and capacity becomes a compliance risk.

02

A new product requiring PSUR infrastructure

A newly approved product needs its first PSUR. The safety data exists. The literature search protocol needs to be designed. The narrative architecture needs to be built from scratch. The first PSUR sets the template for every one that follows — building it wrong creates years of remediation work.

03

An audit finding on a previous submission

An inspection flagged a reproducibility issue with literature search methodology. Or a narrative gap. Or an inconsistency between the PSUR and the signal evaluation section. The remediation window is short. The standard of the next submission must be demonstrably higher.

ICG has been the external partner for all three scenarios. The first call is a scoping conversation — no commitment. WhatsApp ICG to start it →

Scope of delivery

Every periodic safety report format.
One process. Complete audit trail.

PSUR

ICH E2C(R2)

Periodic Safety Update Report. Full E2C(R2) structure — worldwide marketing authorisation status, actions taken for safety reasons, changes to reference safety information, patient exposure, literature, ongoing studies, signal evaluation and overall safety evaluation. Literature search protocol included.

  • Cumulative and interval data analysis
  • Signal evaluation and characterisation
  • Benefit-risk evaluation narrative
  • EURD list compliance for EU submissions
  • DLP-specific safety database query

DSUR

ICH E2F

Development Safety Update Report for investigational products. Annual safety reporting for drugs in clinical development. Integrates clinical trial safety data, IND annual reports, and Development Core Safety Information. SUSAR line listings and reconciliation included.

  • DCSI development and maintenance
  • Clinical safety data integration
  • IMP exposure estimation
  • SUSAR line listings
  • Ongoing and completed trial summaries

PBRER

ICH E2C(R2)

Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report — the PSUR format required by EMA and adopted by multiple global regulators. Structurally aligned with PSUR but with explicit benefit-risk integration sections. Same 4-layer QC architecture as all ICG deliverables.

  • Benefit characterisation section
  • Risk characterisation section
  • Benefit-risk analysis section
  • Appendices and line listings
  • Reviewer-ready formatting

Literature Search Protocol

PRISMA-aligned

Reproducible PubMed search protocol for periodic safety reporting. MeSH headings and TIAB fields. Drug name variants captured. De-duplication methodology documented. Audit-traceable from search string to included article. Powered by Pharos Scout.

  • Validated MeSH + TIAB query construction
  • Drug spelling variant coverage
  • De-duplication and exclusion criteria documented
  • Evidence quality scoring per article
  • Audit-ready search log
How ICG writes a PSUR

Not a template exercise.
A structured scientific process.

Most PSUR writing failures are not scientific failures — they are process failures. A literature search that isn't reproducible. A narrative that doesn't connect to the signal evaluation. A benefit-risk section written last without reading the interval analysis first. ICG's Publication Readiness System™ engineers these failures out before they reach a regulator.

1
Day 1

Scoping call

DLP confirmed. Submission deadline confirmed. Regulatory market(s) confirmed (India CDSCO, EU EMA, US FDA, ROW). Previous PSUR reviewed if available. Data sources confirmed: safety database, lit search, clinical trial data, post-marketing surveillance.

Output: Scoping document — signed off by client
2
Day 2–3

Literature search protocol

Search strings constructed per drug-AE combination. MeSH headings and TIAB fields. Drug name variants. Protocol signed off by client before search runs. Powered by Pharos Scout — results de-duplicated, scored by evidence quality, exported audit-ready.

Output: Validated search protocol + audit log
3
Day 3–5

Safety data analysis

Cumulative and interval case data analysed. Line listings reviewed. Signal evaluation framework applied. Benefit characterisation and risk characterisation drafted before narrative writing begins — so the narrative reflects the data, not vice versa.

Output: Data analysis summary — internal sign-off
4
Day 5–12

Output: QC-cleared draft — all 4 layers signed off
5
Day 15+

Client review & finalisation

Draft delivered with tracked changes. All comments addressed in consolidated response document. Final version delivered submission-ready.

Output: Submission-ready PSUR + complete audit trail of all versions
Powered by Pharos Scout

Literature monitoring that's
audit-ready by design.

Every PSUR ICG writes uses Pharos Scout for the literature search — our adverse-event-driven surveillance platform that auto-generates validated PubMed search queries, de-duplicates results, scores articles by evidence quality, and produces audit-traceable search logs that survive an inspection.

IIT BHU Pharmaceutical Engineering

The people writing your PSUR
understand what a PSUR is.

ICG's Co-Founding Team and pharma practice lead are pharmaceutical engineers from IIT BHU's Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering and Technology — B.Tech and M.Tech graduates who have studied drug metabolism, formulation science, pharmacokinetics, and clinical pharmacology.

This is not a credential for a website. It is the reason why ICG manuscripts have fewer scientific errors in medical review, why ICG PSURs have fewer clarification cycles, and why the scoping call for a literature monitoring engagement sounds different from every other agency you've briefed. The science is understood before the brief is written.

Common questions

Before you brief us on a PSUR.

What is the difference between a PSUR, DSUR, and PBRER?

A PSUR (Periodic Safety Update Report) is submitted for marketed products under ICH E2C(R2) — it integrates worldwide marketing authorisation status, patient exposure, literature, ongoing studies, signal evaluation, and benefit-risk assessment over a defined data lock point interval. A DSUR (Development Safety Update Report) covers investigational medicinal products under ICH E2F — an annual report on the safety of drugs in clinical development. A PBRER (Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report) is the EMA's implementation of ICH E2C(R2) — structurally similar to a PSUR but with explicit benefit-risk integration sections required by EMA. ICG writes all three.

How quickly can ICG start a PSUR engagement?

Scoping call within 24 hours of first contact. Literature search protocol within 48 hours of scoping call. Full engagement start within 5 business days. For urgent deadlines (less than 4 weeks to submission), WhatsApp Aditi Tripathi directly at +91 81302 26224 — urgent engagements are assessed for feasibility in the scoping call and fast-tracked where possible.

Does ICG handle the literature search or does our team do it?

ICG handles the full literature search as part of the PSUR engagement — from search protocol design through PubMed query execution, de-duplication, evidence quality scoring, and audit-ready search log production. All search methodology is documented and signed off by the client before the search runs. If your team has an existing search protocol, ICG can execute against it or recommend improvements.

Is ICG's PSUR writing compliant with CDSCO requirements?

Yes. ICG writes PSURs compliant with ICH E2C(R2) as adopted by CDSCO for Indian marketing authorisations, EMA EURD list requirements for EU submissions, and FDA requirements for US reporting. For products with multi-market authorisations, ICG produces a core PSUR with market-specific addenda as required.

What data does ICG need to write a PSUR?

Minimum requirements: cumulative and interval safety database case line listings, worldwide marketing authorisation status, patient exposure data (sales volumes or patient-years estimate), previous PSUR if available, and reference safety information (Company Core Safety Information or approved SmPC). The scoping call confirms exactly what is available and what ICG will generate during the engagement.
