Definitions
Expedited Adverse Event (EAE)
 An adverse event that meets the criteria for
expedited reporting to Division of AIDS (DAIDS).
 DAIDS recognizes there are differences
between events that require expedited reporting
to DAIDS and SAEs as defined by ICH.
5
Suspected Adverse Drug
Reaction (SADR)
 All noxious and unintended responses to a
pharmaceutical product related to any dose, and
to which a causal relationship between the
product and the event cannot be ruled out.
6
Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
 Definition for SAE is per ICH E2A
 Certain DAIDS protocols will have expedited
reporting of all SAEs
 Protocols: A5241, MTN 003, P1066, P1060, to
mention a few.
 Protocols in development; pharma partners have
reporting obligations as the MAHs of their drugs
7
Assessment of
Adverse Events
Assessment
 Study physician listed on the
1572 / Investigator of Record
(IoR) Agreement assesses the
events:
• Seriousness
• Severity
• Relationship
• Expectedness
(only applies to Targeted)
9
Serious versus Severe
 Seriousness is based on outcome of the AE and is a
factor in determining reportability (this is a regulatory
definition):
• Results in death or is life-threatening
• Hospitalization
• Disability or Congenital Anomaly
• Medically important
 Severity refers to the intensity of the experience (this is a
medical description of the AE):
• (e.g. Mild, moderate, or severe headache)
10
Severity
 Events are graded on a severity scale of 1-5:
• 1 = Mild
• 2 = Moderate
• 3 = Severe
• 4 = Potentially Life-threatening
• 5 = Death
11
Grading Severity of Events
 Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the
Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events

15
Relatedness
 Judgment of a relationship between AE and study agent.
 An event is assessed as:
• Definitely related…
• Probably related…
• Possibly related…
• Probably not related…
• Not related…
• Pending relationship…
…to the study agent
16
Relatedness
 Pending:
• Only for a death and while information about death is
being obtained.
• Updated relationship assessment required within 3
business days or the event will automatically be
coded as “Possibly Related.”
• Follow-up information should be submitted when
available, especially if it results in a change to the
relationship assessment.
17
Levels of Adverse
Event Reporting
 The protocol will specify
one of three levels of
adverse event reporting:
• Standard
• Intensive
• Targeted

Additional Adverse Events To Be
Reported
 Serious Adverse Events associated with study
participation or procedure.
 SADRs that do not meet the protocol specific
reporting criteria, but that the investigator
believes are of significant concern to be reported
on an expedited basis to DAIDS.
20
EAE Reporting Period
 Entire study duration for an individual subject
(from enrollment until study completion or
discontinuation for that particular subject).
 …or as specified in the protocol.
21
EAE Reporting Period
 After the EAE Reporting Period, only the
following should be reported:
• Unexpected, Serious, Clinical SADRs
If the study staff becomes aware of their occurrence
on a passive basis (i.e. through publicly available
information, not active follow up)
– Example: Obituary in the newspaper
22
EAE Study Physician signature
 Physician signature signifies physician review
and sign off
 The EAE report may be sent in without the study
physician signature, if necessary.
BUT
 The completed signature page must be
submitted to the RCC Safety Office within 3
business days of submitting the original EAE.
23
EAE Reporting Timeframe
 Within 3 business days of
site awareness that an
event has occurred at a
reportable level.
24
Confirmation Of Receipt
 The RCC Safety Office sends a confirmation
email for all new reports.
 It is the site’s responsibility to follow-up if they do
not receive a confirmation email.
25
New vs. Follow-up reports
New
 A reportable event first occurs.
 An ongoing event increases in
severity to a higher grade than
previously reported.
 An event fully resolves to
baseline status and then
recurs at a reportable level.
Follow-up
 DAIDS requests additional
information.
 Study physician changes
assessment of relationship to
study agent.
 Additional significant
information becomes available
(e.g. autopsy report, death
certificate).
 Results of rechallenge.
26
How to Report EAEs
 Reports must be submitted on the
EAE form available on the RCC Web site
http://rcc.tech-res.com/.
 DAERS: DAIDS AE Reporting System: webbased electronic submission
 If reporting via DAERS, no paper form needed
27
