Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR): a summary report prepared by the Market Authorization Holder (MAH) that provides a
periodic but comprehensive assessment of the worldwide safety data of a medicinal product. The PSUR can be an important source
for the identification of new safety signals, a means of determining changes in the benefit-risk profile, an effective means of risk
communication to regulatory authorities and an indicator for the need for risk management initiatives, as well as a tracking
mechanism for monitoring the effectiveness of such initiatives.
Investigator’s Brochure: A compilation of the clinical and nonclinical data on the investigational product(s) which is relevant to the
study of the investigational product(s) in human subjects.
Examples of study safety information include, but are not limited to the following:

Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) Meeting Summaries

Periodic Safety Update Reports

Revised Investigator’s Brochures

Product Safety Information i.e. Updated Product Monographs

Note: This form may also be used to report a summary of any external SAEs/ Serious Unexpected Adverse Drug Reactions (SU-ADRs) that are
issued after the initial ethics submission until prior to REB approval, if these SAEs / SU-ADRs meet the criteria of an unanticipated problem and
require a change to the protocol and/or consent form and/or require immediate notification to research participants for safety reasons.
