Tourville et. al. compared four drug information services, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Iowa Drug Information Service, deHaen Drugs in Research, and deHaen Drup in Use, and indicated that the Iowa Information SeMce appeared to have the highest overall relative utility for obtaining clinical information'. Madden d. al. compared nine drug information retrieval services of huge d e as well as of smal l scale, and stated that of smaller commercially available manual systems, the Iowa Drug Information Service was found to be the most comprehensive2. One of the advantage of the Iowa Drug Information Service microfilm'system over others is that it includes original articles. It is said that there are over 500 subscribers in the United States, Puerto Rico and 25 other countries. The effective usage of the system is believed to contribute to a successful drug information activity.

Many of these drugs are used effectively and without complications while others may adversely affect prenatal development. Information about risks, however, is scanty, not critically reviewed, and dispersed in the literature, seldom providing clinically useful information. The inadequacy of literature sources results partiaUy because of moral and legal considerations regarding research with pregnant women. Study of drug effects by conventional, prospective, double-blind techniques cannot be performed; therefore, alternative and less satisfactory study methods are employed. Animal studies cannot always be extrapolated to humans. Large scale retrospective studies often have numerous shortcomings including exposure to multiple drugs, the occurrence of confounding diseases, and incomplete or inacurate exposure data. Anecdotal case reports lack the controls necessary to establish causality and may, therefore, represent coincidental drug exposure in a child with a malformation produced by other causes.

Dr. Borden and I will discuss post-marketing issues specifically. In chorus with the speakers earlier in the meeting, I contend that thinking of the post-marketing, or Phase IV stage of a drug should be part of the earlier planning in drug development. To that end, Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram of the accrual of the \"volume\" of knowledge of a drug during its phases of development. Although the volume increases, the knowledge about a drug is still incomplete at the time of NDA approval-the degree of incompleteness being somewhat dependent upon the newness of the molecular entity. With respect to adverse effects, the concept has been that studies and information acaued soon after approval [so called early post-marketing surveillance (PMS)] would round out the information gaps.

The varied examples that have been cited are just that; they are not intended to be a comprehensive evaluation of all the aspects of the planning process or, for that matter, the selection of investigators or harmonization of data. They are intended instead to illustrate the way in which a comprehensive and thorough planning approach to project management can facilitate, ease and improve the quality of the work we do. The important point of this whole paper is not so much the individual benefits to be gained from any one of the systems described, but rather to illustrate as much as possible the value of planning in our process. It is incumbent on us to search for ways to improve the way in which we do or work. Standards have improved considerably over the years, but there is much room for further improvement; good clinical and scientific thought will inevitably continue to contribute to the improvement of those programs. The submission of this author, however, is that if we do these in advance, we will solve them a good deal faster and a good deal more efficiently than if we constantly react to new and developing problems.","PeriodicalId":51023,"journal":{"name":"Drug Information Journal","volume":"16 1-2","pages":"35-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009286158201600105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21187429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
