pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with
this treatment .
(ICH-E2A) Definition of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR): Correct Answer: all noxious and
unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be considered adverse
drug reactions.
(ICH-E2A) Examples of Adverse Events: Correct Answer: abnormal laboratory finding,
symptom or disease; "any unfavorable and unintended sign"
(ICH-E2A) What term is NOT synonymous with adverse event and should no longer be used?
Correct Answer: side effect
,(ICH-E2A) Definition of Unexpected Adverse Drug reaction? Correct Answer: an adverse
reaction, the nature or severity of which is not consistent with the applicable product information

(ICH-E2A) Definition of Serious Adverse Event: Correct Answer: any untoward medical
occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization
or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant
disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization, birth defect, significant disability.
(ICH-E2A) What documents should be used to determine whether an adverse event is expected
or unexpected? Correct Answer: 1) Investigator's Brochure

documented serious ADR constitute unexpected events
Example: an acute renal failure as a labeled ADR with a subsequent new report of interstitial
nephritis.
