Unanticipated Problem Definition • Incident, Experience, or Outcome • Unexpected • Possibly related to participation in Research • Places subjects or others at greater risk of harm • Nature • Physical • Psychological • Frequency • Severity • Social • Economic http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/policy/advevntguid.html
Unanticipated Problem or Not? Behavioral Study Checklist: ⃝ Incident, experience, or outcome? ⃝ Unexpected? ⃝ Related to participation? ⃝ Greater risk of harm? • Collects identifiable info • Illicit drug use and illegal behaviors of college students • Data stored on unencrypted laptop • Laptop stolen from car
Unanticipated Problem or Not? Device Intervention Study Checklist: ⃝ Incident, experience, or outcome? ⃝ Unexpected? ⃝ Related to participation? ⃝ Greater risk of harm? • Vascular stent placement vs surgery for severe carotid artery stenosis • Patient assigned to stent placement study group • After procedure, the patient suffers a severe stroke resulting in left-sided paralysis • Protocol and ICF indicated a 5-10% chance of stroke for both study groups. The DSMB concludes the occurrence of stroke was expected as well as frequency.
Unanticipated Problem or Not? Drug Intervention Study Checklist: ⃝ Incident, experience, or outcome? ⃝ Unexpected? ⃝ Related to participation? ⃝ Greater risk of harm? • For essential hypertension testing new anti-hypertensive drug. • Three of the first ten subjects have severe GERD symptoms that began within one week of starting the investigational drug and resolve after drug discontinued. • At beginning of trial, no documented evidence of GERD in protocol and ICF do not describe GERD as risk. • Investigator determines that GERD symptoms were caused by the study drug and warrant modification of the ICF to include GERD as a risk of the research.
