Adverse Event Reporting
2
Reporting Adverse Events Adverse Events (AEs) are “... any untoward medical occurrence in a subject that was not previously identified which does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug…” Events existing prior to randomization should not be reported as AEs, unless there is a change in severity AEs (both serious and non-serious) are reported on Form 05: Adverse Event CRF
3
Reporting Adverse Events Report the diagnosis, not the symptoms: Fever, cough, chest pain, crackles = pneumonia Death, surgery, intubation, etc. are not adverse events. They are outcomes of adverse events
4
Reporting Adverse Events One AE = One AE CRF New AEs should be documented on a new AE CRF Follow up reports to previously submitted AEs need to be documented on the original AE CRF
5
Reporting Adverse Events From Randomization through 24 hrs: Report all AEs From 24 hours through EOS: Report only serious AEs Follow any previously reported, unresolved AEs to resolution or end of study (whichever comes first)
6
Serious Adverse Events are: Fatal, Life-Threatening, Result in hospitalization (prolonged hospitalization), Result in disability/congenital anomaly, or Require intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage Reporting Adverse Events
7
Data Entry Time Lines for AEs Non-serious AEs must be submitted into WebDCU TM within 5 days of data collection. Serious AEs must be submitted into WebDCU TM within 24 hours of discovery - In addition, any other relevant data collected for that subject should be entered into WebDCU TM
8
Reporting SAEs SAEs require additional information to be submitted: 1. Detailed description of the event (Description of what happened and a summary of all relevant clinical information -medical status prior to the event, signs and/or symptoms, differential diagnosis for the event, clinical course, treatment outcome, etc) 2. Relevant tests/laboratory data 3. Relevant history and pre-existing conditions 4. Concomitant meds
9
Reporting SAEs These narratives assist the Medical Safety Monitor in reviewing the event Narratives are pre-populated into the MedWatch form, if expedited reporting is required Do not identify any subject, physician, or institution by name.
10
–Site data enters and submits AE CRF into WebDCU TM –Automatic e-mail notification to Project Manager (PM) and Internal Medical Monitor (IMM) –PM and IMM review narrative - - If AE data is sufficient, an automatic email notification will be sent to the Medical Safety Monitor (MSM) –MSM blindly reviews the event (consults site if necessary) and indicates whether the event is serious, unexpected, and study drug related –Within 72 hrs. of MSM notification, PM closes review process Reporting SAEs
11
MedWatch Reports FDA requires expedited reporting for AEs that are serious, unexpected, and study drug related If the MSM determines that the AE meets all 3 elements (serious, unexpected, and related to study drug), WebDCU TM generates an online pre- populated MedWatch form and sends an automatic email notification to the hub coordinator.
12
MedWatch Reports Hub staff completes the MedWatch ASAP PM reviews MedWatch and contacts the site for corrections, if necessary Once the MedWatch passes PM review, the PM: Submits MedWatch to FDA Submits MedWatch to DSMB (through the NINDS liaison) Notifies all hubs of MedWatch posting on WebDCU TM Each clinical site PI is responsible for reporting the SAE to their IRB/REB according to their local requirements.
13
MedWatch Reports Fatal or life threatening SAEs: - PM submits initial form & cover letter within 7 days of discovery - PM submits complete form within 15 days of discovery Non-fatal and non-life threatening SAEs: - PM submits most complete form possible & cover letter within 15 days of discovery Follow Up Reporting - PI responsible for obtaining any follow-up information and submitting that data into WebDCU TM as soon as it becomes available.
