2. Introduction
• Development Safety Update Reports are
internationally-harmonized safety documents
covering the safety summary of medicinal products
during their development or clinical trial phase
among the ICH regions
• DSUR submitted annually, would meet national and
regional requirements currently met by the US IND
Annual Report and the EU Annual Safety Report
3. Objective of DSUR
Summarize management of potential
risks
Describe new safety issues
New information according with
previous knowledge
Update on the Clinical Development
Programme
4. Relation of the DSUR to the Periodic
Safety Update Report
Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) is periodic
reporting on the safety of approved drugs
DSUR is focus on safety of investigational drugs
The content of the DSUR and PSUR may be
overlap
5. Single DSUR for an Active
Substance
• sponsor should prepare a single DSUR to all dosage
forms, strengths, indications under study with the
investigational drug
• DSUR sure that regulator in the three ICH regions
receive a uniform, high quality, comprehensive report
6. Periodicity and DSUR Data Lock
Point
• The start of the annual period for the DSUR is the
month and date of the DIBD
• Clinical trials going in one country and are later
initiated in any other countries, all DSUR on same
DIBD
• DSUR should be submitted to all concerned
regulatory authorities within 60 calendar days after
the DSUR data lock point
7. Duration of DSUR Submissions
• DSURs should continue to be submitted for as long
as indicated by national or regional laws or
regulations
• When annual reports of clinical trials no longer
required in a country, DSUR should be accompanied
by a Cover letter
8. Reference Safety Information
• The Investigator’s Brochure (IB) serve as the
reference safety information
• Used to assess whether the safety information
received during the reporting period remains
consistent with previous knowledge of safety profile
of IND

19. Actions Taken in the Reporting Period
for Safety Reasons
• Refusal of authorization of clinical trial
• Partial or complete trial suspension for ethical
or safety reasons
• Failure to obtain marketing approval for tested
indication
• Protocol modifications due to safety reasons
• Formulation changes due to safety reasons
20. Changes to Reference Safety
Information
• Significant safety related changes to IB
• Such changes include information relating to
exclusion criteria, contraindications, warnings,
precautions, serious adverse drug reactions, adverse
events of special interactions
21. Inventory of Clinical Trials Ongoing and
Completed during the Reporting Period
