General Usage Information

When using Expedited Reports, be aware of the following:

  • The following expedited report forms do not print a follow up number when the user selects DRAFT on the Regulatory Reports tab or when he/she selects the Quick Launch Draft option:

    • US FDA MedWatch Drug/Device

    • US FDA VAERS

    • CIOMS I/CIOMS I (Local)

    • French CERFA

    • Spanish Spontaneous/Clinical

  • The system enables you to print draft expedited reports from the Batch Print or Create Reports without printing DRAFT on the reports from the Case Open or the Reports | Compliance | Expedited Reports dialog.

  • When you select the Draft option, the system enables you to print a DRAFT watermark on the expedited reports.

  • If you do not enter a value, the system does not print a watermark on the expedited reports.

  • You can enter a maximum of 10 characters in the text field.

Storing Expedited Reports in Documentum

Argus Safety lets you store your Expedited Reports in Documentum.

  • Mark an Expedited Report as submitted from within Argus. to insert the report into the Documentum system as a PDF.

  • If the report is to be transmitted via fax or email, Argus Safety Service marks the report as a successful submission in Documentum only after the fax or email transmission has succeeded.

Understanding Follow-up Reports

Follow-up reports are created when significant follow-up information is entered for the case. This is indicated by entering follow-up information in the General Information section of the General tab and when one of the following two things happens:

  • Data for a case changes

  • Update information for a case has been entered

  • Depending on the configuration set up by the Administrator, the system analyzes the scheduled reports prior to the data changes to see if they are still required.

  • If the system determines that they are not required, the report status is marked as "Downgrade". New reports are automatically scheduled, if required.

  • If the system determines the report is still needed and needs to be updated, one of two functions can take place depending on the configuration done by the Administrator:

    • The system overwrites the report

    • The system schedules a new report in addition to the old report

  • If the system has been configured to overwrite the existing report, the report status becomes "New Data Available."

  • In the Worklist, the status for this report shows "New Data Available" for this report. When you re-generate the report, you can select whether or not you would like to re-generate the report with the new data.

  • If the system is configured to create a follow-up report, the previous report remains in its current state and a new report is scheduled with the status of "Scheduled."

  • If a report has been previously submitted, this report is never deleted under any configuration.

Expedited Reporting Rules Algorithm

The expedited reporting rules algorithm affects the following:

  • Suppression of Duplicate Reports

  • Blinded/Forced Distribution

  • Letter Placeholder for the IND Cover Letter

Suppression of Duplicate Reports

You can suppress duplicate expedited reports to be scheduled at the reporting destination level, according to the following criteria:

  • The Suppress Duplicate Reports option only applies to drug reports. It does not apply to device reports.

  • This option does not reduce the number of reporting rules the system evaluates. However, it does prevent the system from scheduling and generating expedited reports that match the duplication criteria.

  • When you select Suppress Duplicate Reports, the system uses the following attributes to determine whether the reports are duplicates of other reports:

    • Report Form

    • Reporting Destination

    • Aware Date

  • If two or more duplicate reports have different due dates (regardless of license type), the system schedules the report with the earliest due date.

Blinded/Forced Distribution

The system enables you to configure the Blinding Study option for products in the case.

  • When the user selects this checkbox, the system blinds the study products for the report being sent to the reporting destination in a manner similar to the Bulk Reporting dialog option.

  • If the user selects either of the Blind Study product options (Reporting Rules or Bulk Reporting), the system blinds the study product information on the report form.

  • The system blinds only active blinded studies. It does not blind the following case reports even if the Blind Study product is selected

    • Open Label Studies

    • Study is eligible for unblinding

  • In cases where expedited reports are due, the system permits the user to force-distribute the reports based on user-defined reporting rules, even if case processing is incomplete.

  • When the user selects the Force Distribution rule, the following occurs:

  • If a case encounters a rule where a report is due is locked, the system schedules the report based on the rule and does the following:

    • Generates the report on the due date.

    • Dynamically replaces the current case comment with the force distribution case comment.

    • Transmits the report based on the preferences defined by the reporting destinations.

    • Displays the status in the Worklist Bulk Transmit/Transmit E2B dialogs.

  • The AG Service Force Reporting process for expedited reports completes the process by:

    • Checking the reports required for force distribution

    • Locks the case (if it's not already locked)

    • Generates the reports and makes sure it is ready for transmission

  • The system adds case comments to the following reports:

    • CIOMS I

    • CIOMS I (Local)

    • Spanish Spontaneous

    • Clinical Forms

  • If a user has a case open, the system skips the case until the user releases the case.

  • After transmitting the reports (sent to the WL Status dialogs), the system does the following:

    • Unlocks the case

    • Uses the justification of the unlock as the case comment (as defined in the Profile switch)

    • Determines whether there are any unsubmitted reports and, if there are unsubmitted reports, sends the current forced distribute reports to the Bulk Reporting queue for transmission.

  • The system puts the following in the Notes field of the report:

    • Auto-scheduled; Forced Distributed: (EU) 15 day EMEA Mkt; Cure All

    • During the time the case is locked and reports are being generated, the system does not allow the user to edit the case. The system displays the following message:

    • The case is in use by XXXX user

      where:

    • XXXX is the name of the AG Service user executing the report scheduling.

  • The notes for the Case Locking/Unlocking are the same as those defined as the common profile value for the Forces Distribution option; System is the user.

Letter Placeholder for the IND Cover Letter

Be aware of the following:

  • You can define a placeholder for the IND_SIMILAR_EVENTS table. The system uses data from this table to populate the Case Number, Protocol Number, Subject ID, and Adverse Event terms for previously submitted cases reporting the same events.

  • If the placeholder is used in a letter template, the system prints the information shown in the following table.

    Adverse Event Report No. (AER#) Protocol Number Subject ID Number Adverse Event Term(s)
    CASE001 CUREALL P101 Verbatim[PT]

    where:

    AER# is the case number when an Investigational IND MedWatch was previously submitted and included the same Related Event Term as the current case.

    Protocol Number is the Project ID for the case in (a).

    Subject ID is the Patient ID for the case in (a).

    Adverse Event Terms(s) are the Related Events for the licensed product in case(a).

    If no reports were submitted, the system prints None Submitted instead of the table.

    The placeholder only prints this information when it is used in the cover letter for the Regulatory Report. The system uses the license associated with the scheduled report to track other cases where the same product license was previously submitted for the same events in the current case.

About Periodic Reports

This section discusses the different fields and features available in Periodic Reports.

Description of reportsperiodic.gif follows
Description of the illustration reportsperiodic.gif

General Usage Information

When using periodic reports be aware of the following:

  • You can filter cases in the following period reports based on the Case Locked/Archived date:

    • NDA

    • IND

    • PSUR

    • CTPR

  • When you select the Case Locked/Archived date, the system limits the cases based on whether the case has been locked or archived within the specified time frame.

  • The locked date is the lock date for the current case.

  • If there is significant FU in the reporting time frame, the system considers the case a follow-up case in the group options of the PSUR/CTPR reports.

  • If you specify the time frame for the case locked/archived date, the system disables the following:

    • Include Follow-up

    • Exclude Follow-up

    • Include Summary of Unlocked Cases

    • Include Unlocked Cases

  • For the 15 day report section of the NDA Reports, the system uses the timestamp to determine whether there are further follow-up or downgraded cases in that date range.

    • If an element is missing, the system does not print the hyphen ( - ).

    • The system groups the cases based on the primary drug in the report.

  • Dosage Regimen Frequency

    • This option enables you to group the frequency of the primary dosage regimen for the primary drug in the report.

    • The system prints Frequency: followed by the frequency as defined above.

  • You can select datasheets for specific report types similar to the PSUR Report for the Inclusion criteria. If you select any rows in the inclusion criteria, the system disables the Datasheet selection dialog.

  • Report Type.This portion lists the report types (configured in Code List | Report Type) the report will be run against (LM_REPORT_TYPE). The user must select a report type so the system knows to save the criteria row.

  • Serious Criteria.This enables you to specify the seriousness of the cases for the selected report type as follows:

    • Serious.Case Level or Primary Event is Serious.

    • Non-Serious.Case Level or Primary Event is Non-Serious.

    • If you select both Serious and Non-Serious, the system ignores the criteria.

    • Fatal. At least one event has a Fatal event outcome.

    • Non-Fatal.No events have a Fatal event outcome.

    • If you select both Fatal and Non-Fatal, the system ignores the criteria.

  • Listedness.

    • When using the case level assessment, the system does not consider the datasheet. Cases appear in the PSUR if the case level assessment matches the selected criteria.

    • When using the primary event assessment in conjunction with a datasheet, the system uses only the As Determined listedness for the primary event when determining whether a case should be included in the PSUR report.

    • If both Listed and Unlisted are selected, the system ignores the criteria and includes all listedness values (including Unknown).

  • Datasheet.This enables you to specify which Datasheet to use when looking for Listedness (LM_DATASHEET). The system uses the datasheet criterion only when you select the primary event assessment as the CMN_PROFILE assessment.

  • When you select the <ALL> datasheet option, the listedness for the primary event on at least one datasheet must match the selected criteria.

  • Related/Non-Related.

    • When using case level assessment, cases appear in the PSUR when the case level causality matches the selected criteria.

    • When using the Primary Event assessment, cases appear only if the causality for the primary event as reported or as determined matches the selected criteria.

    • When using the All Events assessment, cases appear if any case events with as reported or as determined causality match the selected criteria.

    • If you select both Related and Non-Related, the system ignores the related/non-related criteria.

  • HCP/Non-HCP. To have a case included in the PSUR, you must identify at least one case reporter as a HCP or Non-HCP. If this is being used in conjunction with the Primary Reporter Only checkbox, the system evaluates only the primary reporter for this criterion.

  • Primary Reporter Only. This enables the system to perform the HCP/Non-HCP check against only the primary reporter. This updates the entire configuration whether checked or unchecked.

  • You can copy an existing template by clicking the Create from Template button on the CTPR reports list.

  • When you click Create from Template, the system displays the Create from Template dialog.

  • You can choose the CTPR Group Name (as configured in the Product Name configuration) from a type ahead field.

Using the DLP Version

DLP primarily uses two processes:

  • Next Case Revision

  • Last Case Revision

DLP Options

Be aware of the following DLP Options.

  • Last Completed Version -- This option always uses the case version with the last lock that existed prior to the DLP or "As of reporting" date. This option does not enable data cleaning

    Note: DLP saves only the last revision when multiple saves are performed in the same job session.

  • Next Completed Version -- This option uses the current case lock or the next following case lock if the case version was initiated prior to the DLP or the "As of reporting" date with two exceptions:

    • If there is no case lock for the current version that was received prior to the DLP, the last (current) case revision is used.

    • If there is a case version after the case lock that was created for the purpose of data cleaning, it is to be used instead of the first locked case revision.

    • If there are multiple contiguous case versions following the first case lock for the purpose of data cleaning, the last case data cleaning version is used.


      Note:

      The Data Cleaning option is only available with the DLP option Use Next Completed Version (Includes Data Cleaning).

Dates for Using DLP/"As of reporting" Function

You can perform DLP queries for the following:

  • Receipt Date -- date entered by the user during case creation

  • Initial / Follow up Receipt Date

  • Safety / Safety Follow up Receipt Date

  • System Date (Case Creation Date) - date the case was physically entered

As of Reporting Function

The as of reporting function returns the same case version results as the DLP Options, with the only difference that the date depends on the "as of date" instead of a DLP date.

Availability of DLP/As of query functionality

The DLP / as of query functionality is available in the following application modules:

  • Periodic Reports

    • PSUR including all User defined Tabulations and expedited reports within the Periodic Report

Regulatory Reporting Rules Algorithm

The regulatory reporting rules and algorithm enable you to create and schedule reports based on the regulatory specifications.

Reporting Rules Configuration Fields

The reporting rules algorithm schedules reports for Japan based on the License caegory and Reporting category fields.

Japanese Aware Date

The reporting rules algorithm caulates the due date for Japanese reports based on the Japanese aware date as follows:

  • For a domestic case, the Japanese aware date is the same as the latest significant follow-up date or the Initial Receipt date (from the PMDA tab) whichever is latest.

  • In a foreign case, the Japanese aware date is the same as the Japanese significant follow-up date of the Japanese Receipt Date (from the PMDA tab) whichever is latest.

Multiple Reports for a Case

The reporting rules algorithm schedules multiple report for a cased based on PMDA requirements. PMDA requies submitting multiple reports for multiple marketed and investigational licenses. The number of reports submitted is determined based on the following:

  • The system submits reports for valid (not withdrawn) marketing or investigational licenses in Japan only for the suspect company products in the case.

  • The system submits a separate report for each suspect company product with a license in Japan as defined in Argus Console in the "allow multiple reports for single case for Marketed and Investigation" parameter.

  • The system display a single row for each report on the Case Form Analysis-->PMDA-->General tab.

  • If the "Allow multiple report for Maketed" parameter is set to No, auto scheduling schedules a report with a direct Japanese license. If there are multiple direct Japanese licenses, the system selects the licese with the earliest award date.

Report Generation Rules

Be aware of the following report generation rules.

  • You can manually schedule with any available report forms. When the system generates the report form, it checks the association between the reporting category and the report forms If the report forms don't match the selected reporting category, the system presents the following message: "This case does not have a matching reporting category for the selected report forms."

  • The expedited reports retrieve report data from the E2B XML file. If the system encounters errors during this process it presents an error message.

Nullification Report Scenarios

The following scenarios describe how the nullification reports are scheduled.

  • Case Deletion

  • Changes to Cases

  • Manual Scheduling

Case Deletion

If you delete a case that has submitted rpeorts to the Japanese authority, the system prompts you to provide a justicfication for deleting the case and opens the Action Justification dialog box. the system requires you to enter data in eevery field in the dialog box. You can select the justification from the drop-down list or enter the justification manually. However, if you choose to enter the justification manually, you must enter the justification in both Japanese and English.
