Adverse Event Reporting Patterns of Newly Approved Drugs in the USA in 2006: An Analysis of FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Data

Abstract: There have been numerous changes in AE reporting, particularly a huge increase in overall annual report volume, since the Weber effect was first reported. Our results suggest that a Weber-type reporting pattern should not be assumed in the design or interpretation of analyses based on AE reports.

“…Taken together, these data suggest that early phase trials have acceptable safety profiles. Furthermore, important toxicities can also be discovered after an agent is approved by the FDA and in post-approval surveillance analyses 61,62 , and do not detract from viewing that drug as a therapeutic agent.…”

“…32 Frequency of reporting can also vary over time, depending on how long a drug has been on the market (Weber effect), or in response to periods of media activity or safety alerts by regulatory authorities (notoriety effect, stimulated reporting). 31,[41][42][43][44] Several steps to reduce potential sources of bias were taken in the present study design, including temporally matching reporting period of each product to the same period within the lifecycle of the product to minimize the Weber effect, and applying the same case definition to each product to identify the eligible cases using the same specific set of 16 MedDRA PTs.…”

“…It also is possible for there to be overreporting (or ''stimulated'' reporting) for some events depending on their prominence in the media, although recent work suggests this may not always be the case. 34 A referee has pointed out that events that are easily attributable to a drug, for example, skin reactions and liver function test elevations, are frequently reported, but drug-related malignancies are almost impossible to detect through spontaneous reports. The FDA maintains separate spontaneous AE reporting systems for drugs, vaccines, and medical devices.…”
