Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
If YES, indicate following sections. A serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: a) results in death b) is life-threatening c) requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization d) results in disability/incapacity e) a congenital anomaly/birth defect f) other 1) Complete the Serious Adverse Event pages: A separate set of SAE pages should be used for each SAE. However, if at the time of initial reporting, multiple SAEs are apparent that are temporally and/or clinically related, then they can be reported on the same page. 2) Inform GlaxoSmithKline: The investigator must inform GSK of serious adverse events by fax or telephone (fax preferred) within 24 hours of becoming aware of the event.

Serious Adverse Events
Diagnosis only (if known) OR Serious signs / symptoms (list one per line). Enter only the diagnosis (if known); otherwise each serious sign and symptom should be entered on a separate line. If a diagnosis subsequently becomes available, then this should be entered and the signs and symptoms crossed out.

date
00:00-23:59. Record the exact time of onset of the SAE.
time
Record the maximum intensity that occurred over the duration of the SAE. Amend the intensity if it increases.
text
All SAEs must be followed until the events are resolved, the condition stabilizes, the events are otherwise explained, or the subject is lost to follow-up. Indicate if the event was "Resolved", "Resolved with sequelae", or was "Fatal". If the SAE is ongoing at the time the subject completes the study or becomes lost to follow-up, the outcome must be recorded as "Not resolved" Also enter "Not resolved" if the SAE was ongoing at the time of death, but was not the cause of death.

day month year. Record the date of resolution or the date of death. If the event resolved with sequelae, enter the date the subject's medical condition stabilized. Leave blank if the event is "Not resolved".
date
00:00-23:59. Record the exact time of resolution of the SAE or the time of death.

Indicate only for the specific event(s) that were directly responsible for the action taken with investigational product(s)· None: lnvestigational product(s) continue(s) even though an adverse event has occurred. Dose adjusted: Dose is increased or decreased for one or more investigational product(s). Temporarily interrupted: Administration of one or more investigational product(s) was stopped temporarily but then restarted. Permanently discontinued: Administration of one or more investigational product(s) was stopped permanently and not restarted. Not applicable: Subject was not receiving investigational product(s) when the event occurred (e.g., pre- or postdosing) or the subject died and there was no prior decision to discontinue investigational product(s).
text
Indicate only the event(s) directly responsible for the subject's withdrawal as indicated on the End of Study Record page.
text
It is a regulatory requirement for investigators to assess relationship to investigational product(s) based on information available. The assessment should be reviewed on receipt of any new information and amended if necessary. "A easonable possibility" is meant to convey that there are facts/evidence or arguments to suggest a causal relationship. Facts/evidence/arguments that may support "A reasonable possibility'' include, for example, a temporal relationship, a pharmacologically-predicted event, or positive dechallenge or rechallenge. Confounding factors, such as concomitant medication, a concomitant illness, or relevant medical history, should also be considered.

SECTION 4 Seriousness of SAE
Death
boolean
Send autopsy report when available.
text
NOTE: The term ‘life-threatening’ in the definition of ‘serious’ refers to an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.
boolean
NOTE: In general, hospitalization signifies that the subject has been detained (usually involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications that occur during hospitalization are AEs. If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether “hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered serious. Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from baseline is not considered an AE.
boolean
NOTE: The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal life functions. This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g., sprained ankle) which may interfere or prevent everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.
boolean
Congenital anomaly
boolean
Medical or scientific judgement should be exercised in deciding whether reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These should also be considered serious. Examples of such events are invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency or drug abuse.

SECTION 9 Narrative / Comments
This should include but not be limited to the following: • Any previous occurrences of this type of event • Any relevant non-serious adverse events that occurred prior to the SAE • The full clinical presentation and sequelae/evolution of the SAE • Any associated signs and symptoms of the SAE • Explain any possible causes of the SAE • Treatment for the SAE (including any specific medications administered or non-drug treatment) • Any other action taken for the management of the SAE or the subject • Duration and outcome of the SAE • If the SAE is associated with an overdose of investigational product(s), details of the amount of overdose and whether it was intentional or accidental.

This may include, but not be limited to: • Laboratory data. Always provide the reference range and baseline values (fax or mail pages if extensive supporting data) • Findings of ECGs, X-rays, etc. • Results of other diagnostic tests or assays • Key findings from hospital discharge or pathology reports
