About the Feature

The 23R3 release introduced several changes to the DSUR and PBRER aggregate reports.

The DSUR Cumulative Tabulation of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) from Clinical Trials and the Appendix: Cumulative Summary Tabulation of Serious Adverse Reactions (SARs) From Clinical Trials now display totals for each MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC) and MedDRA Preferred Term (PT) as well as a grand total.

The PBRER Cumulative Tabulation of Serious Adverse Events from Clinical Trials and the Summary Tabulation of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) from Postmarketing Sources display totals for each SOC and PT as well as a grand total.

Additionally, DSUR and PBRER log files are now generated as separate files using the new ‘Log’ Document Classification type. The Summary Tabulation of ADRs from Postmarketing Sources Log also includes additional information to validate the report and correlate the tabulation results with the Case log.
