Safety Reporting Overload in Clinical Trials: FDA and Site Perspectives on Overreporting of Adverse Events
Product Details
Burdened by excessive, “just in case” safety reports? They’re hurting everyone: sponsors, trial sites, the FDA … and, ultimately, patients, as the resulting backlog can make it harder for the agency to take action to protect the public.
While the FDA determines whether more guidance, clarification or enforcement action will fix this, there is something simple you can do: order Safety Reporting Overload in Clinical Trials: FDA and Site Perspectives on Overreporting of Adverse Events.
What recourse do sites have if a sponsor is inundating them with unnecessary reports? Can they set limits on what reports they will review without running afoul of the FDA or their IRBs? Can they get sponsors to compensate them for the extra workload? This report answers all of these questions and more.
Sites and sponsors must be clear on the agency’s rules and expectations, acknowledge the effect of overreporting on trials and formulate answers to correct the problem. Do this and you can save time and money, streamline your processes, have an easier time with the FDA and help reverse the bottleneck. You can do this with the usable information you’ll get in Safety Reporting Overload in Clinical Trials.
