10 Reports: Periodic Reports

This chapter contains detailed information about Argus periodic reports and how to create and use them.

Periodic Report Types

This section lists the different Periodic Reports in Argus and discusses about each of them in detail. Place the cursor over the Periodic Reports option in the Reports tab to go to any of the Periodic Reports.

You can create four kinds of periodic reports:

Storing Periodic Reports in Documentum

Argus Safety enables you store your Periodic Reports in Documentum.

When you approve an expedited report from within Argus, the system exports the report as a PDF file and saves it in the Documentum database by Argus Safety Service. From this point, you can perform document reviews within the Documentum system.

When the report is ready to be submitted, mark the report as submitted from within Argus. Argus Safety Service updates the status of the report within Documentum to Submitted.

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.

Viewing a Summary of Periodic Regulatory Reports

You can select any of the following options in viewing the summary of a periodic regulatory report:

  • To view the regulatory reports for a particular case (scheduled, generated, and submitted), open the Regulatory Reports tab of the Case Form.

  • To view all scheduled, generated, and approved reports, as well as other outstanding action items assigned to you or your user group, select Reports in the Worklist menu.

  • To view a list of all scheduled, generated, and approved periodic reports, select Periodic Reports from the Reports | Compliance menu.

Using the Library Page

The periodic reports have a library page for the following reports:

  • PSUR

  • CTPR

  • IND

  • NDA

The following table lists and describes the fields on the Library Page

Field/Control Name Purpose
Category Enables the user to view the report Category.
Sub Category Enables the user to view the report Sub Category.
Report Name Enables the user to view the name of the Periodic Report
Inclusion Star Date/Stop Date Enables the user to view the report start and stop dates as defined in the configuration.
DRAFT/FINAL Enables the user to view the draft and/or final report
Author Created Enables the user to view the name of the author who created the report.
Date Created Enables the user to view the date the report was created.
Date Modified Enables the user to view the date the report was last modified.
Justification Enables the user to view the justification for updating the report.

The system displays the standard Justifications dialog that contains the lasts justification entered by the user.

Search When the user clicks Search, the system initiates the search operation. When the system displays the search results, the user can enter search parameters in various fields and click Search to narrow the search results.
Clear Enables the user to clear user-entered data from the fields

When using the Library Page be aware of the following:

  • The system places the total number of records displayed on the library page in the Total Number of Row (x) read-only field in the Report header.

  • The user can select the number of cases to display from the Page Size drop-down list.

  • The page size drop-down list contains the following values:

    • 50

    • 100 (default)

    • 250

    • 500

    • 1000

    • 2000

  • The system displays the number of reports currently in view and the system automatically updates the range based on the selected page size. For example, if the user selects a page size of 100, the system displays reports in groups of 100.

  • The user can go directly to a range of cases from the Displaying Rows drop-down option.

  • The user can scroll through the reports page-by-page in increments as defined in the Page Size drop-down list.

  • The user can sort on all columns in the Reports view by clicking the column header. The system displays an up arrow or a down arrow depending on whether the column is sorted in ascending (A-Z, 1-10, etc.) or descending order (Z-A, 10-1, etc.).

  • Initially, the reports are sorted by Category.

  • The default sort order is ascending.

  • When you click the Filter icon, the system displays the filtering row to enable you to filter on any element.

  • The type ahead feature enables you to filter on any element except Draft/Final.

  • Click the appropriate icon to minimize the filtering options.

  • Click the X to close the filtering options.

  • If filtering criteria is defined, the system displays the filtering elements icon to indicate that filtering elements exist.

  • If filtering criteria is not defined, the system displays the no filtering elements icon to indicate that no filtering elements are defined.

  • The system enables you to perform a like search. For example, if the user searches for Cure, the system returns all elements that start with Cure.

  • The system enables you to perform wildcard searches. For example, if the user searches for %Cure, the system returns all elements that contain Cure.

  • When you click Clear, the system clears the filtering criteria from the fields.

  • Clicking the filter icon enables you to filter for reports in the list of reports.

  • The system saves all user preferences for future use. If the user has already entered filter elements, the system displays the filter details for the last search when it displays the dialog.

  • If another user is modifying a report, the system displays the following:

  • The report which is being selected is being used by XXXX and cannot be modified.

    where:

    XXXX is the full user name of the person using the report.

About CTPR: Clinical Trial Periodic Reports

The Clinical Trial Periodic Reports (CTPR) are created to report the IND Annual reports and EU Clinical Trial Directive line listing reports to FDA. Surrounding text describes rptctpr.gif.

To create Clinical Trial Periodic Reports

  1. Select Reports --> Periodic --> CTPR (Clinical Trial Periodic Reports) to open a list of CTPR Reports.

  2. To create a new report from an existing report in the list, click Copy or Modify.

  3. Click New Report to create an entirely new report. The Clinical Trial Periodic Reports dialog opens.

  4. Enter an appropriate name for the report under Report Name.

  5. Use the tabs in this dialog to configure the CTPR.

General Usage Information

When using the CTPR, be aware of the following:

  • The system enables you to group cases by Product Name and Drug Regimen Frequency:

  • Product Name

    • This option enables you to group the Product Name - Formulation - Concentration with Units when the elements are separate with a hyphen ( - ).

    • 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.

  • When you enter the CTPR Group Name in the Select CTPR Group Name field and the From and To dates in the Create from Template dialog and click OK the system does the following:

    • Saves the CTPR Configuration with the new dates.

    • Replaces the products in the list of selected products with all products as defined for the selected CTPR name.

    • Replaces the periodic report name in the newly configured periodic reports with a new name in the following format:

      XXXX: YYYY to ZZZZ

      where:

      XXXX is the selected CTPR Name.

      YYYY is the From Date entered by the user.

      ZZZZ is the To Date entered by the user.

    • Replaces the date ranges for the From and To date fields only for the Periodic Report.

    • Bases the remaining configuration, including the security permissions, on the selected CTPR template.

  • When you enter the CTPR Group Name in the Select CTPR Group Name field and the From and To dates in the Create from Template dialog and click Print and Save, the system does the following:

    • Saves the CTPR Configuration with the new dates.

    • Replaces the products in the list of selected products with all products as defined for the selected CTPR name.

    • Replaces the periodic report name in the newly configured periodic reports with a new name in the following format:

      XXXX: YYYY to ZZZZ

      where:

      XXXX is the selected CTPR Name.

      YYYY is the From Date entered by the user.

      ZZZZ is the To Date entered by the user.

    • Replaces the date ranges for the from and to date fields only for the Periodic Report.

    • Calls the Report Batch Printing dialog.

    • Bases the remaining configuration, including the security permissions, on the selected CTPR template.

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

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

    • IND including all User defined Tabulations

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

  • System Reports

    • CIOMS II Line Listing

    • CDA Reports

    • Case Listing Reports

Line Listing Tab

The Line Listing tab contains the following fields and sections:

Surrounding text describes ctprlinelisting.gif.

Field Description
