16. Areas of Reform
• Increasing Participation in Multinational trials
need of hour 3Rs :
– Reform Recommendations Robust Safety reporting
• Internal discrepancies bet Shc Y and CDSCO approval letter
• No waiver for protocol specific SAE
• Lack of emphasis on causality as reporting criteria
• Real time update of a Cumulative safety profile
• Need attention
– Reporting requirement for generic trials
– Pregnancy reporting
– Uniform timelines for SUSAR
PV guidelines for India- In sync with Global Practice

17. Lenient Reporting Timeline
• Sch Y : All Unexpected Serious AEs: from
site to EC within 7 working days
• Global practice: Fatal/Life threatening
SUSAR to regulatory agency is 7 calendar
days
Issue : EC will come to know about Life
threatening only in 7 working days..exceed 7
calendar days
11/24/2012 17
Dr. Kamlesh Patel
18. Expedited Reporting Timeline
• Sch Y : Definition and Std for Expedited reporting is
missing
Any Unexpected and serious : to CDSCO and
Other investigators within 14 calendar days
• ICH E2A and 21 CFR 312.32 :
Mandatory reporting of fatal or life threatening

medication

• Unclear records in information system
• Bad system of stock alignment/organization

21. Detecting ADR: Do we accept it?
• Top priority : Diagnosis and Disease management
• Lack of proper E3 (Exposure Emphasis Education)
during undergraduate and post graduate program
• 50-150 pt in a day, per pt time..Too BUSY
• Fear of allegation
• Proper process and system to report

• Training Programs
– HCP, Medical Students, nursing and pharmacy graduates, Workers in rural
areas
• Robust Uniform Nation Database
– Uniform format
– Strong network of PV and Pharmacoepidemiologists
• Industry (Domestic and MNC) active participation in drug safety
monitoring during CT and PMS/PMOS
• Mandatory PMOS once Marketing Authorization is granted if it is a New
drug or relatively new drug
• ICH GCP Sch Y India GCP Harmonisation
– “GO SLOW, WORK IN PROGRESS”
– “GO, SLOW WORK IN PROGRESS”
