Confusion about when to use the AE form and when to use the AE log
Inability to track the submission of non-local events without submitting them individually

Clinical Research
• Sponsors are responsible for the success of the individual clinical trials.
• The IRB is responsible for Human Subject Protection.
• CRCs are responsible for everything!”

External Event Management
• Responsible Party= Sponsor
• Best Practice = regular submission of Data Monitoring Committee Reports
• Exception = an event that increases the human subject risk for participating in a trial must be reported to everyone involved

Institutional Changes
• Individual policies for internal and external adverse event reporting
• IRB Memo to sponsors
• Changes to the ERSA system

IRB Staff will return applications with more than one report attached
Effective today, January 17, 2008
― Note at the top of the application page now states:
― “As of 1/17/2008, this application form should only be used if the event being reported is deemed [by the Sponsor] to have a direct link to the test article that is so important that everyone must be notified immediately.”
