Abstract: FDA is requiring that all postmarketing safety reports for human drugs and biological products be submitted in electronic format. Requiring submission of these reports in electronic format will expedite access to safety information and facilitate international harmonization and exchange of this information. This, in turn, will lead to more efficient reviews of safety data and enhance our ability to rapidly disseminate safety information to health care providers, consumers, applicants, sponsors, and other regulatory authorities in support of FDA's public health mission. In addition, the Agency will recognize a significant cost savings by converting the safety reporting system from a paper submission process to an all electronic system that would increase the accuracy of information and reduce the need for manual data entry. The final rule will expedite the identification of emerging safety problems, improve the speed and efficiency of industry and agency operations, and further the international harmonization of safety reporting.
