Research Ethics in HCPA • 1974 Scientific Committee (SC) • Research Ethics Committee (IRB) • Collaboration between SC + IRB • Research Ethics Committee (IRB) • CONEP – National Committee of Research Ethics • 2001 Institutional Review Board (OHRP – USA – IRB 921) ©Raymundo/2004
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Monitoring Program IRB/HCPA Begin: September 2001 Goal: Protection of research subjects 2 Biologists 1 Pharmacist 2 Students of Medicine 1 Student of Biology ©Raymundo/2004
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Monitoring Program IRB/HCPA 2,152Events Recorded at IRB / HCPA Since 2001 September 142Different Protocols ©Raymundo/2004

SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT EVALUATION • 1 Verifying to which protocol and drugs the event is related to • 2 Verifying the severity of the event, the temporal • relationship, the concomitant drug history and outcomes of • the event • 3 Checking if the SAE is mentioned in the protocol, in the • Investigator’s Brochure or in the Informed Consent Form ©Raymundo/2004
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT EVALUATION • Risk estimation based on the data presented in the protocol, in the Investigator’s Brochure or in the Informed Consent Form • 5 Evaluation of local investigator’s opinion about risks to • other subjects and needs about protocol and • Informed Consent modifications • 6 IRB opinion sent to CONEP with local investigator’s opinion ©Raymundo/2004
Relationship of the events with the protocol 2,152 SAE’s communications 215 ©Raymundo/2004
SAEs Prevision Only 173 of 2,152 forms with this item filled out ©Raymundo/2004
SAEs Outcome 2,152 SAE’s communications ©Raymundo/2004
Conclusions • Role of IRB: risk monitoring • Goal: active protection of research subjects • Cost of monitoring Not included in the protocol budget • Increase number of participants and research centers involved world wide • Consequence: loss of local event relevance ©Raymundo/2004
Conclusions • Duplicate work: IRB / sponsor GCP and CONEP guidelines • Protocol’s Continued Evaluation Process: New versions of protocols, Investigator’s Brochure and Informed Consent Forms
Perspectives • Online information system linked to ANVISA • Grouped Data gathered by the sponsor • Naranjo’s Algorithm
Perspectives Adequate monitoring CONEP ANVISA IRB Investigator Sponsor
