Outline:


Legal and regulatory requirements in the EU
In this session, we set out the legal and regulatory requirements for safety reporting under the EU Clinical Trials Regulation. We specify the responsibilities of investigators and those of sponsors. We distinguish those reports that must be submitted by sponsors to the EudraVigilance portal and those that must be submitted to the Clinical Trials Information System. We specify the format and terminology that must now be used, and we identify the tools and pathways for electronic submission. Finally, we outline significant differences in requirements under the Clinical Trials Directive.

Legal and regulatory requirements in the USA
In this session, we set out the legal and regulatory requirements for safety reporting in clinical trials conducted (in the USA or elsewhere) under an Investigational New Drug application (IND) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We specify the responsibilities of investigators and those of sponsors. We describe the criteria for IND safety reports to the FDA, and the content, format and timing of their submission. We discuss investigators' obligation to report unanticipated problems to institutional review boards. Finally, we discuss IND annual reports and other safety reporting issues.

Certification Requirements: To earn a certificate, students must complete the entire course and pass an online, multiple-choice final assessment within 12 months of enrollment. Upon meeting these requirements, a certificate of completion is instantly available in PDF format.

Biopharma Institute's online training provides immediate access after enrollment. Students receive their username, password, and instructions via email directly after registering. The final assessment can be attempted as many times as necessary to achieve a passing score. Once the course is successfully completed, the certificate is generated instantly in an encrypted PDF format, featuring a watermark, unique validation code, and QR verification barcode.

Training achievements can be verified on our website using the certificate's unique ID or QR code. For professional certification programs, a digital badge is also issued, allowing students to showcase their accomplishment on platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Badgr.

Certificates and digital badges include the completion date but do not display an expiration date. Compliance training is generally considered valid for up to three years, and many organizations schedule refresher training every one to three years to maintain alignment with evolving regulations, standards, and GxP expectations. Biopharma Institute does not assign a universal expiration date as it recognizes that the validity period or recertification interval for each individual worker should be determined by each individual organization's quality management team.
