Drug-Drug Interaction SIG

Established October 2019

Overview and Mission

Pharmacoepidemiologic studies are essential to confirm (or refute) and elucidate the health effects of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs). In addition to applying principles for good pharmacoepidemiology practice, researchers conducting DDI studies must consider nuances in design and interpretation that follow from a focus on the health effects of combinations of multiple exposures rather than single medical products. The DDI Special Interest Group will serve as a collaborative community of ISPE members with an interest in the design, analysis, interpretation, and translation of pharmacoepidemiologic studies of drug interactions.

Objectives

• To provide a diverse collaborative forum for persons around the world interested in real-world DDI research
• To improve the quality of real-world DDI research that informs the clinical evidence base
• To foster the development of new pharmacoepidemiologic methods to study DDIs
• To educate the general ISPE membership and external stakeholders on the role of pharmacoepidemiology in studying DDIs
• To promote the professional development of junior ISPE members interested in DDI research
• To facilitate the translation of high-quality real-world DDI studies into clinical practice
