SAE Reporting and Safety/Pharmacovigilance
The DMID-CROMS Pharmacovigilance team (PVG) is responsible for the collection, assessment and reporting of safety information to regulatory authorities and investigators worldwide.
Timely reporting of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) is necessary for the protection of clinical trial subjects and for rapid dissemination of significant new findings related to the safety of investigational drugs.
The PVG team works closely with OCRA Safety to ensure that all systems and procedures meet FDA regulations, the European Union Clinical Trial Directive and any other applicable regulatory authority guidelines relating to processing and reporting of SAEs.
The PVG team receives adverse events reported by sites participating in DMID-supported studies, processes the events for review by the DMID Medical Officer, and prepares the reports for submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
All Investigators are instructed to submit SAEs to PVG via fax or email. Investigators have access to a 24/7 SAE Hotline which is available for real-time assistance with SAE reporting. Please refer to the following contact information:
