  • The European Medicines Agency and CHPM has approved a Dear Healthcare Provider letter warning about risk for giving wrong dose due to confusion about strength related to dose expression as Eribulin Mesilate salt or the active substance Eribulin.
    It is unusual with this type of Dear Investigator Letter regarding risk of misdosing, but possibly something we will see more of.

  • Does anybody have a "bridged" version of the two UK statutory instruments 2006 1928 for clinical trials and 2004 1031 as they are very hard to read with all the changes in a separate document

  • a guest replied to the topic Re: PV master file content and implementation in the forum.
    I think there is more information now regarding the PV masterfile

    At least for the DDPS is it clear that both MHRA and the EMA want the DDPS to be replaced completely by the masterfile and as soon as possible as they are drowning in variations at the moment

  • Ottosen created a new topic No report of endpoint cases not allowed in India in the forum.
    I have have "heard" that India may not allow for any trial SAE reports to remaind blinded or not reported even if they are study endpoints. This is the normal practice everywhere else to ensure the integrety of such trials

    Do you have any information about this?

  • Ottosen replied to the topic Re: Interpretation of the June 2011 CT3 in the forum.
    I wonder how to interpret CT-3Section 4.4 which tates: Start and end of reporting serious adverse events to the sponsor: Serious adverse events occurring to a subject after the treatment of that subject has ended should be reported to the sponsor if the investigator becomes aware of them (16) - where (16) is a reference to section 3.E.3 of the note for guidance ICH E2A.

    Does this mean that the investigaor have have to report serious adverse events for ever after the trial have closed?
    This is contradicting E2A which is actually written into law in the 3 ICH regions which states that:

    ICH E2A Section 3.E.3:
    3. Post-study Events, Although such information is not routinely sought or collected by the sponsor, serious adverse events that occurred after the patient had completed a clinical study (including any protocol-required post-treatment follow-up) will possibly be reported by an investigator to the sponsor. Such cases should be regarded for expedited reporting purposes as though they were study reports. Therefore, a causality assessment and determination of expectedness are needed for a decision on whether or not expedited reporting is required.


    Here it says possibly which would make sense as there no longer is a formal study to ensure active reporting.

    How are you managing this?

  • Ottosen created a new topic Interpretation of the June 2011 CT3 in the forum.
    I wonder how many are struggeling with the interpretation of the newly issued CT3 which is part of the EU Volume 10.
    There seems to be a lot of inconsistencies in the text which I would like to hear how you have interpreted.
