Adverse Events
• Adverse event means any untoward medical occurrence that may appear during treatment with a pharmaceutical product (drug, biologic, vaccine, device) in humans, whether or not it has a causal relationship to the treatment.
![Page 5: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Side Effects• Any unintended effect of a pharmaceutical product
occurring at a dose normally used in man, which is related to the pharmacological properties of the drug. NOTE: The term “side effect” may only be used after the pharmaceutical product has been approved by the regulatory authorities.
![Page 6: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Serious Adverse Event (SAE)• An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered
"serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following:– Death– A life-threatening adverse event– Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing
hospitalization,– A persistent or significant incapacity or disability or
substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or
– A congenital anomaly/birth defect

Unexpected Adverse Events• An adverse reaction, the nature or severity of
which is not consistent with the applicable product information.

Causality
• Cause: Something that produces an effect, result, or condition; something that makes something exist or happen: (if A, then B)
![Page 16: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Oncology, General) for examination of reports of SAEs of deaths occurred during CT

Common Methods to Assess Causality
• Expert Judgments: – causality inference obtained via clinical judgment,
such as with an expert panel– These are individual assessments based on
previous knowledge & experience
![Page 19: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Common Methods to Assess Causality
• Structured algorithms with or without scoring:– Algorithms are set of specific questions with
associated scores for calculating the likelihood ofcause effect relationship.
– Transparent and consistent– Reduced ability to apply clinical judgment
![Page 20: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Algorithms/Scales/Systems
Lots of algorithms have been developed (>30)Some examples of algorithms/scales used for causality assessment:
– WHO assessment scale – Karch and Lasagna’s scale – Naranjo’s scale– Kramer scale – Yale logarithm – European ABO system – Spanish imputation system
20
![Page 21: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Common Methods to Assess Causality
• Bayesian approaches – need a probability for causality calculated
from available knowledge (prior estimate)– need the specific findings in a case, which
combined with the background information, determines the probability of drug causation for the case (posterior estimate)
![Page 22: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHO-UMC System for Causality Assessment • Certain• Probable• Possible• Unlikely• Conditional/ Unclassified• Unassessable/ unclassifiable
‘un-assessable / un-classifiable’ category is for cases with insufficient or contradictory information
![Page 23: SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment And Compensationcdsaindia.in/sites/default/files/05_SAE Reporting_Dr. Pawandeep.pdf · SAE Reporting Timelines, Causality Assessment](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011800/5ab027a27f8b9a22118e1f7a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• The 3 methods of causality assessments while different share common factors for consideration:– Temporal relationship– Dose relationship– De-challenge/Re-challenge– Recognized association with the product/class– Pharmacological Plausibility– Underlying illness/concurrent conditions– Other medications
Note: Regardless of number of factors present, the quality of the information is critical to the assessment

Quantum of compensation - Formula
• Compensation =
(8 lacs *Age factor*Risk factor)/99.37
• Compensation for terminally ill patient of 16 yrs of age: (8 X 228.54 X 0.5)/99.37 = Approx 9 lacs
• Compensation for terminally ill patient of 67 yrs of age: (8 X 99.37 X 0.5)/99.37 = 4 lacs
Expected mortality > 90% in 30 days – Fixed amount of 2 lacs

Factors
• B = Base amount (i.e. 8 lacs)• F = Factor depending on the age of the subject as
per Workmen Compensation Act• R = Risk Factor depending on the seriousness and
severity of the disease, presence of co-morbidity and duration of disease of the subject at the time of enrolment in the clinical trial
