To support ICSR transmissions to the FDA in FDA FAERS E2B(R3) format, Safety introduces the following Transmission Profiles:

  • CDER Study: Used for study data transmissions to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)
  • CBER Study: Used for study data transmissions to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)
  • CDER IND Exempt: Used for study data transmissions for marketed products that are exempt from Investigational New Drugs (IND) requirements

Although the Transmission Profiles for the FDA FAERS E2B(R3) Submissions and Distributions feature was released in 24R1, this article is published with 24R2 to support the release of the FDA FAERS E2B(R3) feature.

26R1 Update: FDA FAERS E2B(R3): Primary Study Selection for Cross Reporting

With the 26R1 release, you can designate a primary Study Registration for Studies in their Library. This is useful when exporting cross-reported studies to FDA FAERS E2B(R3) files to ensure that Vault populates the correct Study Registration Number in the FDA.C.5.5a data element. After configuring this feature, see Manage Studies and E2B Generation: FDA FAERS E2B(R3) Mapping for more information.

To support device and combination product Cases reporting through the FDA FAERS E2B(R3) format, ensure you have enabled the Update to Seriousness Picklist feature.

Additional Consideration

Vault uses global ICH E2B(R3) validations to evaluate FDA FAERS E2B(R3) files. However, Safety does not include FDA-specific validations for this format. We recommend that you configure custom Validation Criteria if you want to enforce FDA-specific business rules.

Activate the Transmission Profiles

All Vaults include the Transmission Profiles for FDA FAERS E2B(R3) exports, but they are inactive. To activate them:

  1. Navigate to Business Admin > Objects > Transmission Profiles.
  2. Select the Transmission Profile you want to activate.
  3. In the Object State drop-down, select Active.
  4. In the Change Object Status dialog, select Yes.
