Serious Adverse Events & SAE Reconciliation
AE vs SAE definitions, expedited reporting timelines, the separate safety database, reconciling SAE cases with the clinical database, discrepancy types and resolution.
AE vs SAE
Slide 1 / 5• Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, whether or not related to the study drug. • Serious adverse event (SAE): an AE that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is another important medical event. • 'Serious' (outcome-based) is different from 'severe' (intensity). A severe headache can be non-serious.
