Safety lead to: (1) perform a UK-clinical-trial safety reporting gap assessment against MHRA’s effective guidance sections (MedDRA coding; AE/SAE; RSI governance; SUSARs; annual safety reporting; USMs; serious breaches; temporary suspension), (2) update controlled SOPs/WIs and training records to reflect “effective” status as of 28 Apr 2026, and (3) document deviations/gaps and open CAPA where needed for ongoing UK trials and new submissions.
Sponsors and MAHs must review and align safety data collection and reporting protocols with the newly adopted guidelines while preparing for implementation of PRAC recommendations stemming from this meeting.
Healthcare facilities must utilize the new checklist during inspections to conduct gap analyses and ensure compliance with reporting requirements associated with their vigilance systems.
