Role of the IRB
The primary purpose of both initial and
continuing review of [a] study is ‘to assure the
protection of the rights and welfare of the human
subjects’ (§ 56.109(f). To fulfill its obligations… an
IRB must have, among other things, information
concerning unanticipated problems involving
risk to human subjects in the study, including
adverse events that are considered unanticipated
problems.”

Reporting
Problems with Reporting – Unnecessary Reporting
Much of the information that is being reported does not
meet reporting requirements and therefore results in the
unnecessary expenditure of resources by all stakeholders.
Specifically, “the way that ‘unanticipated problem’ is interpreted
does not yield information about adverse events that is useful
to IRBs and thus hinders their ability to ensure protection of
human subjects.”

Problems with Reporting – No Explanation Provided

Not only is unnecessary information reported, but also reported information
is not explained:
FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs,
Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection
(January 2009)
“In the years since the IRB and IND regulations issued,
changes in the conduct of clinical trials (e.g., increased use of
multi-center studies, international trials) have complicated the
reporting pathways for adverse event information described in
the regulations. IN particular the practice of local investigators
reporting individual, unanalyzed events to IRBs, including
reports of events from other study sites that the
investigator receives from the sponsor of a multi-center
study—often with limited information no explanation of
how the event represents an unanticipated problem—has
led to the submission of large numbers of reports to IRBs
that are uninformative.”

Regulatory Landscape
Regulatory Landscape
FDA and HHS regulations require the IRB to receive safety and other
information throughout study and during continuing review to ensure the
criteria for approval is still met and to ensure the safety, rights, and welfare
of subjects are protected

45 CFR 46.109 and 46.111; 21 CFR 56.109 and 56.111
From Where is the Obligation to Report Safety Information
to the IRB derived?
Regulatory Landscape
There is a lot of safety data and other information in clinical trials, so where
in the regulations does it say exactly what to report to the IRB?
While the regulations do not contain specifics, they do provide the term
“Unanticipated Problem” (UP)
22
From Where is the Obligation to Report Safety Information
to the IRB derived? (continued)
Regulatory Landscape
Unanticipated Problem
21 CFR 312.66 – “The investigator shall . . .
Promptly report to the IRB . . . All unanticipated
problems involving risk to human subjects or
others.”
21 CFR 56.108(b)(1) – “[E]ach IRB shall: …Follow
written procedures for ensuring prompt reporting to
the IRB, appropriate institutional officials, and the
Food and Drug Administration of: (1) Any
unanticipated problem . . . .”
45 CFR 46.103(b) (4) – An IRB must have “[W]ritten
procedures for ensuring prompt reporting to the
IRB , appropriate institutional officials, and the
department or agency head of (i) any unanticipated
problems involving risks to subjects or others. . . .

Regulatory Landscape
Unanticipated Problem
Unanticipated Problem = Any incident, experience,
or outcome that meets all of the following criteria:
Unexpected (in terms of nature severity or frequency)
given(a) the research procedures that are described
in the protocol-related documents, and (b) the
characteristics of the subject population being studied
Related or possibly related to participation in the
research
Suggests that the research places subjects or others
at a greater risk of harm (including physical,
psychological, economic, or social harm) than was
previously known or recognized
HHS Guidance, Guidance on Reviewing and Reporting Unanticipated
Problems Involving Risks to Subjects or Others and Adverse Events

*Note: This general criteria is essentially
the same for unanticipated problems
under FDA regulations as well.

Regulatory Landscape
Unanticipated Problems & Adverse Events
In addition to defining “Unanticipated Problem,” the
HHS Guidance also explains that there are UPs that
stem from adverse events, essentially safety related
UPs, and those that do not stem from adverse
events, essentially non-safety related UPs.
Adverse Event: Any untoward or unfavorable
medical occurrence in a human subject, including
any abnormal sign (for example abnormal physical
exam or laboratory finding), symptom, or disease,
temporally associated with the subject's participation
in the research, whether or not considered related to
the subject’s participation in the research. This
encompasses both physical and psychological
harms and can be categorized as “internal”
(happening at the site) or “external” (happening at
other locations).

Note: The terms “adverse effect”
and “adverse experience” are
interchangeable with “adverse
event.”

DEVICE EFFECT By its very nature, if an event is
an SUSAR or a UADE then it is a UP
and must be reported to the IRB
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
Serious and unexpected suspected adverse reaction (SUSAR) originates from 21 CFR 312
and is designed to guide sponsors on when to submit IND safety reports to the FDA and
investigators
30
1. Serious (Death, life-threatening, inpatient
hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
persistent or significant incapacity, substantial disruption
of the ability to conduct normal life functions, and
congenital anomaly/birth defect)
2. Unexpected (an event not listed in the investigator
brochure or not listed at the specificity or severity
observed; or an event not consistent with the risk
information described in the investigational plan)
3. Suspected Adverse Reaction (“a reasonable
possibility that the drug caused the adverse event”)
Evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the
drug and event
Must report to the IRB all SUSARs that satisfy these three criteria:
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
Individual Occurrences
A single occurrence of an event that is
uncommon and known to be strongly
associated with drug exposure
(e.g., angioedema, hepatic injury,
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome)
31
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
32
In a phase II study testing an
investigational drug for Hepatitis C, a
subject experiences hepatic injury. In
addition to the investigational drug, the
subject was continuing her standard
Hepatitis C therapy at the time of
hepatic injury.
Is this individual occurrence a suspected adverse reaction?
Example:

33
Is this individual occurrence a suspected adverse reaction?
Example:
YES
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
34
One or more Occurrences
One or more occurrences of an event that is
not commonly associated with drug exposure,
but is otherwise uncommon in the population
exposed to the drug (e.g., tendon rupture,
progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy)
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
35
Is this one occurrence a suspected adverse reaction?
Example:
A subject with extrapulmonary small-cell
carcinoma receiving an investigational
chemotherapy agent experiences a
bowel perforation during his second
cycle of chemotherapy.

Is this one occurrence a suspected adverse reaction?
Example:
A subject with extrapulmonary small-cell
carcinoma receiving an investigational

NO
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
37
Aggregate Analysis of Specific Events
An aggregate analysis of specific events observed
in a clinical trial (such as known consequences of
the underlying disease or condition under
investigation or other events that commonly occur in
the study population independent of drug therapy)
that indicates those events occur more frequently in
the drug treatment group than in a concurrent or
historical control group.
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
17 oncology sites are participating in a
research study comparing an investigational
chemotherapy agent to standard therapy in
subjects ages 60-85. Of those subjects
receiving the investigational drug, an
average of 35% of subjects across the 17
sites experience deep vein thrombosis.
38
Example:
Does this aggregate analysis indicate a suspected adverse reaction?

39
Example:

YES
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
Critical to understand the
definition of “Suspected
Adverse Reaction” coupled
with the examples the FDA
provides:
40
 Individual occurrence
 One or more occurrences
 Aggregate analysis
Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR
Without this understanding, the FDA
explains that the following problem occurs:
Reporting of individual events even though unlikely that
the event was caused by the drug. Examples:
41
Serious adverse experiences (e.g. mortality or major 
morbidity) that are unlikely to have been 
manifestations of the underlying disease
Serious adverse experiences that commonly 
occurred in the study population independent of 
drug exposure (e.g. strokes or acute myocardial 
infarction in an elderly population)
Serious adverse experiences that were study 
endpoints (i.e. the study was evaluating whether the 
drug reduced the rate of these events)
Such reporting causes a “drain on
resources” when the FDA, and
IRBs are inundated with “generally
uninformative” Safety Information
especially when reported as single
events without any context
Reporting Safety Information - UADE
42
Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect
(UADE) originates from 21 CFR 812 and is
designed to guide sponsors on when to
submit reports to the FDA and investigators
Must report to the IRB all UADEs that satisfy the
following criteria:
 Serious (death, life-threatening, serious
problem)
 Not previously identified (an effect not
previously identified in nature, severity, or
degree of incidence in the investigational plan
or application)
 Caused by, or associated with, a device
Reporting Safety Information - UADE
FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs,
Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject
Protection (January 2009)
43
 Individual occurrence
 One or more occurrences
 Multiple occurrences determined
through an aggregate analysis
Essentially states that reporting UADEs to the IRB should be
treated the same as reporting SUSARs to the IRB
While not in the device regulations and while there are different
considerations between safety information for drugs and devices,
take into account whether the effect is a:
Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information
For Multi-center studies:
44
FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection
(January 2009); FDA Guidance for Industry and Investigators, Safety Reporting Requirements for INDs and BA/BE Studies (December 2012)
 Even though the FDA regulations indicate it is the investigator’s responsibility to notify the IRB
of unanticipated problems (21 CFR 312.66)—FDA guidance states: “Investigators must rely
on the sponsor to provide them information about AEs occurring at other study sites”
 “Although the investigator’s view of the causal relationship between an adverse event and the
investigational drug is important, FDA believes that the sponsor is better positioned than the
individual investigator to assess the overall safety of the investigational drug because the
sponsor has access to serious adverse event reports from multiple study sites and is able to
aggregate and analyze these reports.”
 “The sponsor is in a better position to process and analyze the significance of AE
information from multiple sites…and to make a determination about whether an AE is an
unanticipated problem”
 FDA supports an arrangement in which the sponsor prepares UP reports and submits to the
IRB “when the sponsor, investigator, and IRB have made an explicit agreement for the
sponsor to report directly to the IRB”
Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information
 While Investigators may report SUSARs and UADEs to the IRB,
Quorum recommends that Sponsors/CROs submit SUSAR and
UADE information to the IRB on behalf of investigators. This
means . . .
45
(continued) 
• The Sponsor/CRO should inform investigators and arrange with the IRB
that it will report on behalf of investigators (arrangement with IRB should
include in what format to report)
• The protocol should not state generally that “all adverse events require
reporting the IRB” or include similar language because then if “all adverse
events” are subsequently not reported, investigators run the risk of being
out of compliance with the protocol
 Also it is not appropriate to submit all AEs to the IRB, just AEs that
are SUSARs or UADEs!
Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information
For single-center or
investigator initiated studies:
46
 The investigator is likely the one
reporting to the IRB
 Also it is not appropriate to submit
all AEs to the IRB, just AEs that
are SUSARs or UADEs!
This still means:
 The investigator can arrange with
IRB in what format to report
 The protocol should still not state
generally that “all adverse events
require reporting the IRB” or include
similar language because then if “all
adverse events” are subsequently
not reported, investigators run the
risk of being out of compliance with
the protocol
Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information
47
(continued) 
Report SUSARs and
UADEs “promptly” to
the IRB “Promptly” is generally
considered 10 business days,
which is supported in the FDA’s
guidance on reporting AEs
to the IRB
This 10-day timeframe exists whether there is an
arrangement for the sponsor to submit on behalf of the
IRB or whether the investigator is responsible for
submitting to the IRB

  • 13. Role of the IRB The primary purpose of both initial and continuing review of [a] study is ‘to assure the protection of the rights and welfare of the human subjects’ (§ 56.109(f). To fulfill its obligations… an IRB must have, among other things, information concerning unanticipated problems involving risk to human subjects in the study, including adverse events that are considered unanticipated problems.” FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) “ 13

  • 17. Problems with Reporting – Unnecessary Reporting Much of the information that is being reported does not meet reporting requirements and therefore results in the unnecessary expenditure of resources by all stakeholders. Specifically, “the way that ‘unanticipated problem’ is interpreted does not yield information about adverse events that is useful to IRBs and thus hinders their ability to ensure protection of human subjects.” 17 “ FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009)
  • 18. Problems with Reporting – No Explanation Provided 18 Not only is unnecessary information reported, but also reported information is not explained: FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) “In the years since the IRB and IND regulations issued, changes in the conduct of clinical trials (e.g., increased use of multi-center studies, international trials) have complicated the reporting pathways for adverse event information described in the regulations. IN particular the practice of local investigators reporting individual, unanalyzed events to IRBs, including reports of events from other study sites that the investigator receives from the sponsor of a multi-center study—often with limited information no explanation of how the event represents an unanticipated problem—has led to the submission of large numbers of reports to IRBs that are uninformative.”

  • 21. Regulatory Landscape FDA and HHS regulations require the IRB to receive safety and other information throughout study and during continuing review to ensure the criteria for approval is still met and to ensure the safety, rights, and welfare of subjects are protected 21 45 CFR 46.109 and 46.111; 21 CFR 56.109 and 56.111 From Where is the Obligation to Report Safety Information to the IRB derived?
  • 22. Regulatory Landscape There is a lot of safety data and other information in clinical trials, so where in the regulations does it say exactly what to report to the IRB? While the regulations do not contain specifics, they do provide the term “Unanticipated Problem” (UP) 22 From Where is the Obligation to Report Safety Information to the IRB derived? (continued)
  • 23. Regulatory Landscape Unanticipated Problem 21 CFR 312.66 – “The investigator shall . . . Promptly report to the IRB . . . All unanticipated problems involving risk to human subjects or others.” 21 CFR 56.108(b)(1) – “[E]ach IRB shall: …Follow written procedures for ensuring prompt reporting to the IRB, appropriate institutional officials, and the Food and Drug Administration of: (1) Any unanticipated problem . . . .” 45 CFR 46.103(b) (4) – An IRB must have “[W]ritten procedures for ensuring prompt reporting to the IRB , appropriate institutional officials, and the department or agency head of (i) any unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or others. . . . 23
  • 24. Regulatory Landscape Unanticipated Problem Unanticipated Problem = Any incident, experience, or outcome that meets all of the following criteria: Unexpected (in terms of nature severity or frequency) given(a) the research procedures that are described in the protocol-related documents, and (b) the characteristics of the subject population being studied Related or possibly related to participation in the research Suggests that the research places subjects or others at a greater risk of harm (including physical, psychological, economic, or social harm) than was previously known or recognized HHS Guidance, Guidance on Reviewing and Reporting Unanticipated Problems Involving Risks to Subjects or Others and Adverse Events (January 15, 2007) 24 *Note: This general criteria is essentially the same for unanticipated problems under FDA regulations as well. 1 2 3
  • 25. Regulatory Landscape Unanticipated Problems & Adverse Events In addition to defining “Unanticipated Problem,” the HHS Guidance also explains that there are UPs that stem from adverse events, essentially safety related UPs, and those that do not stem from adverse events, essentially non-safety related UPs. Adverse Event: Any untoward or unfavorable medical occurrence in a human subject, including any abnormal sign (for example abnormal physical exam or laboratory finding), symptom, or disease, temporally associated with the subject's participation in the research, whether or not considered related to the subject’s participation in the research. This encompasses both physical and psychological harms and can be categorized as “internal” (happening at the site) or “external” (happening at other locations). FDA Guidance, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs – Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) 25 Note: The terms “adverse effect” and “adverse experience” are interchangeable with “adverse event.”
  • 26. Regulatory Landscape Unanticipated Problems and Adverse Events 26 Adapted from HHS Guidance, Guidance on Reviewing and Reporting Unanticipated Problems Involving Risks to Subjects or Others and Adverse Events (January 15, 2007); See also FDA Guidance, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs – Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) • Safety Related: Do not report adverse events that are not UPs • Non-Safety Related: Must report UPs that are not adverse events • Safety Related: Must report adverse events that are UPs Under 45 CFR 46 do not report A, do report B + C.
  • 28. Regulatory Landscape Unanticipated Problems and Adverse Events 28 Adapted from HHS Guidance, Guidance on Reviewing and Reporting Unanticipated Problems Involving Risks to Subjects or Others and Adverse Events (January 15, 2007); See also FDA Guidance, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs – Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) • Safety Related: Do not report adverse events that are not UPs • Non-Safety Related: Must report UPs that are not adverse events • Safety Related: Must report adverse events that are UPs Under 45 CFR 46 do not report A, do report B + C.
  • 29. Reporting Safety Information to the IRB 29 SUSAR: SERIOUS & UNEXPECTED SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS UP: UNANTICIPATED PROBLEM UADE: UNANTICIPATED ADVERSE DEVICE EFFECT By its very nature, if an event is an SUSAR or a UADE then it is a UP and must be reported to the IRB
  • 30. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR Serious and unexpected suspected adverse reaction (SUSAR) originates from 21 CFR 312 and is designed to guide sponsors on when to submit IND safety reports to the FDA and investigators 30 1. Serious (Death, life-threatening, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity, substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, and congenital anomaly/birth defect) 2. Unexpected (an event not listed in the investigator brochure or not listed at the specificity or severity observed; or an event not consistent with the risk information described in the investigational plan) 3. Suspected Adverse Reaction (“a reasonable possibility that the drug caused the adverse event”) Evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the drug and event Must report to the IRB all SUSARs that satisfy these three criteria:
  • 31. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR Individual Occurrences A single occurrence of an event that is uncommon and known to be strongly associated with drug exposure (e.g., angioedema, hepatic injury, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome) 31
  • 32. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 32 In a phase II study testing an investigational drug for Hepatitis C, a subject experiences hepatic injury. In addition to the investigational drug, the subject was continuing her standard Hepatitis C therapy at the time of hepatic injury. Is this individual occurrence a suspected adverse reaction? Example:
  • 33. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR In a phase II study testing an investigational drug for Hepatitis C, a subject experiences hepatic injury. In addition to the investigational drug, the subject was continuing her standard Hepatitis C therapy at the time of hepatic injury. 33 Is this individual occurrence a suspected adverse reaction? Example: YES
  • 34. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 34 One or more Occurrences One or more occurrences of an event that is not commonly associated with drug exposure, but is otherwise uncommon in the population exposed to the drug (e.g., tendon rupture, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy)
  • 35. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 35 Is this one occurrence a suspected adverse reaction? Example: A subject with extrapulmonary small-cell carcinoma receiving an investigational chemotherapy agent experiences a bowel perforation during his second cycle of chemotherapy.
  • 36. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 36 Is this one occurrence a suspected adverse reaction? Example: A subject with extrapulmonary small-cell carcinoma receiving an investigational chemotherapy agent experiences a bowel perforation during his second cycle of chemotherapy. NO
  • 37. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 37 Aggregate Analysis of Specific Events An aggregate analysis of specific events observed in a clinical trial (such as known consequences of the underlying disease or condition under investigation or other events that commonly occur in the study population independent of drug therapy) that indicates those events occur more frequently in the drug treatment group than in a concurrent or historical control group.
  • 38. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 17 oncology sites are participating in a research study comparing an investigational chemotherapy agent to standard therapy in subjects ages 60-85. Of those subjects receiving the investigational drug, an average of 35% of subjects across the 17 sites experience deep vein thrombosis. 38 Example: Does this aggregate analysis indicate a suspected adverse reaction?
  • 39. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR 17 oncology sites are participating in a research study comparing an investigational chemotherapy agent to standard therapy in subjects ages 60-85. Of those subjects receiving the investigational drug, an average of 35% of subjects across the 17 sites experience deep vein thrombosis. 39 Example: Does this aggregate analysis indicate a suspected adverse reaction? YES
  • 40. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR Critical to understand the definition of “Suspected Adverse Reaction” coupled with the examples the FDA provides: 40  Individual occurrence  One or more occurrences  Aggregate analysis
  • 41. Reporting Safety Information - SUSAR Without this understanding, the FDA explains that the following problem occurs: Reporting of individual events even though unlikely that the event was caused by the drug. Examples: 41 Serious adverse experiences (e.g. mortality or major  morbidity) that are unlikely to have been  manifestations of the underlying disease Serious adverse experiences that commonly  occurred in the study population independent of  drug exposure (e.g. strokes or acute myocardial  infarction in an elderly population) Serious adverse experiences that were study  endpoints (i.e. the study was evaluating whether the  drug reduced the rate of these events) Such reporting causes a “drain on resources” when the FDA, and IRBs are inundated with “generally uninformative” Safety Information especially when reported as single events without any context
  • 42. Reporting Safety Information - UADE 42 Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect (UADE) originates from 21 CFR 812 and is designed to guide sponsors on when to submit reports to the FDA and investigators Must report to the IRB all UADEs that satisfy the following criteria:  Serious (death, life-threatening, serious problem)  Not previously identified (an effect not previously identified in nature, severity, or degree of incidence in the investigational plan or application)  Caused by, or associated with, a device
  • 43. Reporting Safety Information - UADE FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) 43  Individual occurrence  One or more occurrences  Multiple occurrences determined through an aggregate analysis Essentially states that reporting UADEs to the IRB should be treated the same as reporting SUSARs to the IRB While not in the device regulations and while there are different considerations between safety information for drugs and devices, take into account whether the effect is a:
  • 44. Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information For Multi-center studies: 44 FDA Guidance for Clinical Investigators, Sponsors, and IRBs, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs—Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009); FDA Guidance for Industry and Investigators, Safety Reporting Requirements for INDs and BA/BE Studies (December 2012)  Even though the FDA regulations indicate it is the investigator’s responsibility to notify the IRB of unanticipated problems (21 CFR 312.66)—FDA guidance states: “Investigators must rely on the sponsor to provide them information about AEs occurring at other study sites”  “Although the investigator’s view of the causal relationship between an adverse event and the investigational drug is important, FDA believes that the sponsor is better positioned than the individual investigator to assess the overall safety of the investigational drug because the sponsor has access to serious adverse event reports from multiple study sites and is able to aggregate and analyze these reports.”  “The sponsor is in a better position to process and analyze the significance of AE information from multiple sites…and to make a determination about whether an AE is an unanticipated problem”  FDA supports an arrangement in which the sponsor prepares UP reports and submits to the IRB “when the sponsor, investigator, and IRB have made an explicit agreement for the sponsor to report directly to the IRB”
  • 45. Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information  While Investigators may report SUSARs and UADEs to the IRB, Quorum recommends that Sponsors/CROs submit SUSAR and UADE information to the IRB on behalf of investigators. This means . . . 45 (continued)  • The Sponsor/CRO should inform investigators and arrange with the IRB that it will report on behalf of investigators (arrangement with IRB should include in what format to report) • The protocol should not state generally that “all adverse events require reporting the IRB” or include similar language because then if “all adverse events” are subsequently not reported, investigators run the risk of being out of compliance with the protocol  Also it is not appropriate to submit all AEs to the IRB, just AEs that are SUSARs or UADEs!
  • 46. Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information For single-center or investigator initiated studies: 46  The investigator is likely the one reporting to the IRB  Also it is not appropriate to submit all AEs to the IRB, just AEs that are SUSARs or UADEs! This still means:  The investigator can arrange with IRB in what format to report  The protocol should still not state generally that “all adverse events require reporting the IRB” or include similar language because then if “all adverse events” are subsequently not reported, investigators run the risk of being out of compliance with the protocol
  • 47. Recommended Practices for Reporting Safety Information 47 (continued)  Report SUSARs and UADEs “promptly” to the IRB “Promptly” is generally considered 10 business days, which is supported in the FDA’s guidance on reporting AEs to the IRB This 10-day timeframe exists whether there is an arrangement for the sponsor to submit on behalf of the IRB or whether the investigator is responsible for submitting to the IRB TIMING of Reporting to the IRB

Unanticipated Problems and Adverse Events 50 Adapted from HHS Guidance, Guidance on Reviewing and Reporting Unanticipated Problems Involving Risks to Subjects or Others and Adverse Events (January 15, 2007); See also FDA Guidance, Adverse Event Reporting to IRBs – Improving Human Subject Protection (January 2009) • Safety Related: Do not report adverse events that are not UPs • Non-Safety Related: Must report UPs that are not adverse events • Safety Related: Must report adverse events that are UPs Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB
  • 51. 51 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB UNEXPECTED UP: UNANTICIPATED  PROBLEM You MUST report ALL  UP’s to the IRB GREATER RISK OF  HARM RELATED OR POSSIBLY  RELATED
  • 52. 52 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB • Failure to obtain informed consent • Major protocol deviations (e.g. inclusion/exclusion violation; omitting a study procedure) • Study personnel misconduct that adversely impacts the study • Adverse findings by a regulatory agency, medical board, or other relevant body Unanticipated Problems - Examples: Are these UPs? * Whether these are UPs depends on the type of study and the specific factors surrounding each event or incident
  • 53. 53 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB An investigator is conducting behavioral research and collects individually identifiable sensitive information about illicit drug use by surveying college students. The data is stored on a laptop computer that is password protected. The laptop is stolen from the investigator’s car. Is this reportable to the IRB as a UP? Unanticipated Problems - Examples:
  • 54. 54 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB YES An investigator is conducting behavioral research and collects individually identifiable sensitive information about illicit drug use by surveying college students. The data is stored on a laptop computer that is password protected. The laptop is stolen from the investigator’s car. Is this reportable to the IRB as a UP? Unanticipated Problems - Examples:
  • 55. An Investigator is conducting a psychology study evaluating decision making and response times when persons are listening to music at various decibel levels. In order to perform the study, participants are placed in a small, windowless, soundproof booth. The IRB-approved protocol and consent form describe claustrophobic reactions as one of the research risks. The 12th subject enrolled in the research experiences significant claustrophobia, resulting in the subject withdrawing from the study. 55 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB Unanticipated Problems - Examples: Is this reportable to the IRB as a UP?

Unanticipated Problems - Examples: Is this reportable to the IRB as a UP?
  • 57. 57 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB Is this reportable to the IRB as a UP? As a result of a processing error by a pharmacy technician, a subject enrolled in a multi-center clinical trial receives a dose of an experimental agent that is 10-times higher than the dose dictated by the IRB-approved protocol. While the dosing error increased the risk of toxic manifestations of the experimental agent, the subject experienced no detectable harm or adverse effect after an appropriate period of careful observation. Unanticipated Problems - Examples:
  • 58. 58 Reporting Non-Safety Information to the IRB YES Is this reportable to the IRB as a UP? As a result of a processing error by a pharmacy technician, a subject enrolled in a multi-center clinical trial receives a dose of an experimental agent that is 10-times higher than the dose dictated by the IRB-approved protocol. While the dosing error increased the risk of toxic manifestations of the experimental agent, the subject experienced no detectable harm or adverse effect after an appropriate period of careful observation. Unanticipated Problems - Examples:
  • 59. Recommended Practices for Reporting Non-Safety Information For multi-center or single-center:  Generally, UPs that are not an adverse event (i.e. non-safety related) are typically site or investigator specific  Therefore, it makes more sense for the investigator, not the sponsor, to report the UP to the IRB  The investigator can arrange with IRB in what format to report 59
