Ongoing safety review

    In Safety & pharmacovigilance

    Ongoing safety review is the sponsor's continuous evaluation of a trial's safety data while the trial is running. It looks at individual cases, at aggregate patterns, and at whether anything has changed the expected risk profile. Findings can lead to protocol amendments, updates to the consent form, or stopping the trial.
