Course Syllabus/Topics

  1. Key Takeaways
  2. Institutional Review Board (IRB) Reporting Flowchart
  3. Adverse Event (AE) Reporting Flowchart
  4. Case Study: Interim Monitoring Visits
    This case study gives a glimpse of our modules launched by USC School of Pharmacy.
  5. Poll time! The topic I would like for the spring 2019 boot camp is:
    1. A severe AE is the same thing as a serious AE.
    2. If an AE becomes expected during the course of a multi-site investigator-initiated trial, the central IRB is responsible for updating all participating sites. 
    3. For a serious adverse event that is not fatal or life-threatening but which is drug related and unexpected, as the sponsor I must submit this to the FDA in how many days? 
    4. In a clinical trial, my clinic has to submit serious adverse events to the sponsor if I assess them as related to study drug. 
    5. My clinic just learned that one of our study subjects passed away in hospice. I can report “death in hospice” as the adverse event term until I learn the cause of death. Until I learn the cause of death, I do not have to provide an assessment of relatedness to study drug. 
    6. Only safety data from controlled clinical trials is required to be collected and submitted to regulatory authorities
  6. Experience sharing about the boot camp
  7. Q&A session
