Definitions, Documentation, and Reporting Sample Clauses

Definitions, Documentation, and Reporting. Adverse Event Definition An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not it is considered to be study drug related. This includes any newly occurring event or previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency since the administration of study drug. Serious Adverse Event Definition A serious adverse event (SAE) is any adverse event, occurring at any dose and regardless of causality that: · Results in death. · Is life-threatening. Life-threatening means that the subject was at immediate risk of death from the reaction as it occurred, i.e., it does not include a reaction which hypothetically might have caused death had it occurred in a more severe form. Attachment 2, Attachment E-50 · Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. Hospitalization admissions and/or surgical operations scheduled to occur during the study period, but planned prior to study entry are not considered AEs if the illness or disease existed before the subject was enrolled in the trial, provided that it did not deteriorate in an unexpected manner during the trial (e.g., surgery performed earlier than planned). · Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. Disability is defined as a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal life functions. · Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. This includes any anomaly detected at or after birth, or any anomaly that results in fetal loss. · Is an important medical event. An important medical event is an event that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization, but may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, it may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in the definitions for SAEs. Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse.
