INTRODUCTION It is important to harmonise the way to gather and, if necessary, to take action on important clinical safety information arising during clinical development. Thus, agreed definitions and terminology, as well as procedures, will ensure uniform Good Clinical Practice standards in this area. The initiatives already undertaken for marketed medicines through the CIOMS-1 and CIOMS-2 Working Groups on expedited (alert) reports and periodic safety update reporting, respectively, are important precedents and models. However, there are special circumstances involving medicinal products under development, especially in the early stages and before any marketing experience is available. Conversely, it must be recognised that a medicinal product will be under various stages of development and/or marketing in different countries, and safety data from marketing experience will ordinarily be of interest to regulators in countries where the medicinal product is still under investigational-only (Phase 1, 2, or 3) status. -

Guidelines for Detecting & Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions in Jordan
Guidelines for Detecting & Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions Individual Case Safety Reports For Healthcare Professionals Rational Drug Use and Pharmacovigilance Department- JFDA (2014) Guidelines for Detecting & Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions In Jordan- 2014 Version 01 Individual Case Safety Reports Guidelines for Detecting & Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions Individual Case Safety Reports For Healthcare professionals Rational Drug Use and Pharmacovigilance Department- JFDA 1 www.jfda.jo Guidelines for Detecting & Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions In Jordan- 2014 Version 01 Individual Case Safety Reports This Guideline for the Jordan Pharmacovigilance System has been developed to complement and support the efforts of orienting all healthcare professionals on the important concept of Pharmacovigilance. It gives an overview of what Pharmacovigilance is, how to detect and classify ADR‟s. It also describes the reporting system to the Jordan Pharmacovigilance Centre in the context of the Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSR). The reporting requirements stated in this guideline are based mainly on the guidelines of International Conference for Harmonization (ICH), the European Medicine Evaluation Agency (EMEA) the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Jordan Food and Drug Administration pharmacovigilance guidelines. Its ultimate goal is to enhance efforts in ensuring that safe, efficacious, and quality medicines are made available for all Jordanians. All healthcare professionals are encouraged to actively participate in Pharmacovigilance -

KLH-21 version 6 Reporting Adverse Reactions to Medicinal Products for Human Use in a Clinical Trial and to Medicinal Products without Marketing Authorisation. With effect as of 1 December 2016, this guideline supersedes guideline KLH-21, version 5. This guideline defines the procedure for reporting suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (“SUSAR”) to medicinal products used in clinical trials reported/permitted pursuant to Section 55(4) and (5) of Act No. 378/2007 Coll. on Pharmaceuticals and on Amendments to Some Related Acts (Act on Pharmaceuticals), as amended. The guideline is intended for the sponsors, investigators and persons cooperating with them within the clinical trial, for holders of registration decisions, if they participate in implementation of clinical trials. The purpose of prompt reports of suspected serious unexpected adverse reactions in clinical trials is to feed new and important information into the pharmacovigilance system of clinical trials that ensures timely identification of signals, which can represent a health risk to the included subjects or possibly may result in a change of the safety profile of the investigational medicinal product (the risk outweighs the potential benefit). The functional pharmacovigilance system also allows for evaluating identified serious signals and, if necessary, for taking measures to minimise the risk associated with the use of the investigational medicinal products for the subjects participating in the trial, including ensuring that all the parties involved (sponsors, investigators, participating subjects, regulatory bodies and members of ethics committees) are informed in timely manner. The guideline defines the “reporting obligation” of all those who are involved in the system, the scope of such obligations and the manner of performing such obligations (see the overview table at the end of this guideline). -
Documenting, Recording, and Reporting of Adverse Events And
Introduction Documenting, Recording, Monitoring of adverse events (AEs) is critical to the patient’s safety (i.e., human subjects protection) and data integrity. This and Reporting of Adverse module will provide an overview of AEs, including assessment, Events and Unanticipated documentation, recording, and reporting. At the conclusion of this module, you will be able to: Problems • DfiDefine whthat cons titttitutes an AE. • Discuss how the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) is used for assessing AEs. • Describe the elements required to document AEs. Sponsored by • Define serious and unexpected AEs and how to report these types of Center for Cancer Research events to various regulatory/oversight groups. • Discuss the purpose and processing of an Investigational New Drug National Cancer Institute (IND) Safety Report (ISR). • Define what an unanticipated problem is and learn how to report an unanticipated problem to the IRB. Adverse Events Adverse Event: ICH GCP and • It is important to note that multiple clinical terms OHRP Definition have been used to convey an Adverse Event An adverse event (AE), as defined by Good Clinical (AE) including: Practice, is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including • toxicity an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease • side effect having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, • acute or late effect appears to worsen AND is temp orally associated with • complication medical treatment or procedure, REGARDLESS of the • all essentially pointing to a change possibly caused by attribution (i.e., relationship of event to medical treatment or treatment procedure). • However, all of the terms above imply that an intervention caused the event which is not the Adverse Event: FDA Definition definition of an AE.
