CTMS Module 4 of 29

Safety & Pharmacovigilance

Adverse event tracking, SAE management, and safety signal detection.

Module Overview

The Safety & Pharmacovigilance module provides comprehensive adverse event management from initial report through regulatory submission. Track SAEs, SUSARs, and AEs of special interest with causality assessment, severity grading, and seriousness determination. Safety signal detection algorithms analyze aggregate AE data to identify emerging safety concerns early.

Key Features

Adverse event logging with MedDRA coding
SAE/SUSAR management with expedited reporting timelines
Causality assessment with investigator and sponsor assessments
Severity grading (CTCAE) and seriousness determination
Safety signal detection with disproportionality analysis
Aggregate safety reporting (DSUR, PSUR) support

Workflow & Interface

Explore the module's workflow through interactive interface mockups showing each step of the process.
