- The system prints a DRAFT watermark across the entire page starting from the bottom left to top right for the following on all pages:

  - ALL Expedited reports including E2B CIOMS and MedWatch on the E2B Viewer

  - ALL Periodic Reports including Expedited reports part of the Periodic and Aggregate reports part of Periodic

- If you select Internal or a value for Other text for PSUR/CTPR reports, the system prints "Internal" or the other text value as the watermark on the PDF reports that include the expedited reports that are part of the periodic for all pages.

- The Bulk Reporting screen has a Study ID filter option that enables you to filter cases in the list.

- When using the Study ID filter, be aware of the following:

  - The Study ID is a type ahead field the system enables you to enter the study ID values defined for cases.

  - There can be a maximum of 25 items on the drop-down list.

  - When you select values from the drop-down list, the system performs a like search.

##### General Usage Information

When using Expedited Reports, be aware of the following:

- The following expedited report forms do not print a follow up number when the user selects DRAFT on the Regulatory Reports tab or when he/she selects the Quick Launch Draft option:

  - US FDA MedWatch Drug/Device

  - US FDA VAERS

  - CIOMS I/CIOMS I (Local)

  - French CERFA

  - Spanish Spontaneous/Clinical

- The system enables you to print draft expedited reports from the Batch Print or Create Reports without printing DRAFT on the reports from the Case Open or the Reports | Compliance | Expedited Reports dialog.

- When you select the Draft option, the system enables you to print a DRAFT watermark on the expedited reports.

- If you do not enter a value, the system does not print a watermark on the expedited reports.

- You can enter a maximum of 10 characters in the text field.

##### Storing Expedited Reports in Documentum

Argus Safety lets you store your Expedited Reports in Documentum.

- Mark an Expedited Report as submitted from within Argus. to insert the report into the Documentum system as a PDF.

- If the report is to be transmitted via fax or email, Argus Safety Service marks the report as a successful submission in Documentum only after the fax or email transmission has succeeded.

##### Understanding Follow-up Reports

Follow-up reports are created when significant follow-up information is entered for the case. This is indicated by entering follow-up information in the General Information section of the General tab and when one of the following two things happens:

- Data for a case changes

- Update information for a case has been entered

- Depending on the configuration set up by the Administrator, the system analyzes the scheduled reports prior to the data changes to see if they are still required.

- If the system determines that they are not required, the report status is marked as "Downgrade". New reports are automatically scheduled, if required.

- If the system determines the report is still needed and needs to be updated, one of two functions can take place depending on the configuration done by the Administrator:

  - The system overwrites the report

  - The system schedules a new report in addition to the old report

- If the system has been configured to overwrite the existing report, the report status becomes "New Data Available."

- In the Worklist, the status for this report shows "New Data Available" for this report. When you re-generate the report, you can select whether or not you would like to re-generate the report with the new data.

- If the system is configured to create a follow-up report, the previous report remains in its current state and a new report is scheduled with the status of "Scheduled."

- If a report has been previously submitted, this report is never deleted under any configuration.

##### Expedited Reporting Rules Algorithm

The expedited reporting rules algorithm affects the following:

- Suppression of Duplicate Reports

- Blinded/Forced Distribution

- Letter Placeholder for the IND Cover Letter

Suppression of Duplicate Reports

You can suppress duplicate expedited reports to be scheduled at the reporting destination level, according to the following criteria:

- The Suppress Duplicate Reports option only applies to drug reports. It does not apply to device reports.

- This option does not reduce the number of reporting rules the system evaluates. However, it does prevent the system from scheduling and generating expedited reports that match the duplication criteria.

- When you select Suppress Duplicate Reports, the system uses the following attributes to determine whether the reports are duplicates of other reports:

  - Report Form

  - Reporting Destination

  - Aware Date

- If two or more duplicate reports have different due dates (regardless of license type), the system schedules the report with the earliest due date.

Blinded/Forced Distribution

The system enables you to configure the Blinding Study option for products in the case.

- When the user selects this checkbox, the system blinds the study products for the report being sent to the reporting destination in a manner similar to the Bulk Reporting dialog option.

- If the user selects either of the Blind Study product options (Reporting Rules or Bulk Reporting), the system blinds the study product information on the report form.

- The system blinds only active blinded studies. It does not blind the following case reports even if the Blind Study product is selected

  - Open Label Studies

  - Study is eligible for unblinding

- In cases where expedited reports are due, the system permits the user to force-distribute the reports based on user-defined reporting rules, even if case processing is incomplete.

- When the user selects the Force Distribution rule, the following occurs:

- If a case encounters a rule where a report is due is locked, the system schedules the report based on the rule and does the following:

  - Generates the report on the due date.

  - Dynamically replaces the current case comment with the force distribution case comment.

  - Transmits the report based on the preferences defined by the reporting destinations.

  - Displays the status in the Worklist Bulk Transmit/Transmit E2B dialogs.

- The AG Service Force Reporting process for expedited reports completes the process by:

  - Checking the reports required for force distribution

  - Locks the case (if it's not already locked)

  - Generates the reports and makes sure it is ready for transmission

- The system adds case comments to the following reports:

  - CIOMS I

  - CIOMS I (Local)

  - Spanish Spontaneous

  - Clinical Forms

- If a user has a case open, the system skips the case until the user releases the case.

- After transmitting the reports (sent to the WL Status dialogs), the system does the following:

  - Unlocks the case

  - Uses the justification of the unlock as the case comment (as defined in the Profile switch)

  - Determines whether there are any unsubmitted reports and, if there are unsubmitted reports, sends the current forced distribute reports to the Bulk Reporting queue for transmission.

- The system puts the following in the Notes field of the report:

  - Auto-scheduled; Forced Distributed: (EU) 15 day EMEA Mkt; Cure All

  - During the time the case is locked and reports are being generated, the system does not allow the user to edit the case. The system displays the following message:

  - The case is in use by XXXX user

    where:

  - XXXX is the name of the AG Service user executing the report scheduling.

- The notes for the Case Locking/Unlocking are the same as those defined as the common profile value for the Forces Distribution option; System is the user.

Letter Placeholder for the IND Cover Letter

Be aware of the following:

- You can define a placeholder for the IND_SIMILAR_EVENTS table. The system uses data from this table to populate the Case Number, Protocol Number, Subject ID, and Adverse Event terms for previously submitted cases reporting the same events.

- If the placeholder is used in a letter template, the system prints the information shown in the following table.

  Adverse Event Report No. (AER#) | Protocol Number | Subject ID Number | Adverse Event Term(s)
  CASE001 | CUREALL | P101 | Verbatim[PT]

  where:

  AER# is the case number when an Investigational IND MedWatch was previously submitted and included the same Related Event Term as the current case.

  Protocol Number is the Project ID for the case in (a).

  Subject ID is the Patient ID for the case in (a).

  Adverse Event Terms(s) are the Related Events for the licensed product in case(a).

  If no reports were submitted, the system prints None Submitted instead of the table.

  The placeholder only prints this information when it is used in the cover letter for the Regulatory Report. The system uses the license associated with the scheduled report to track other cases where the same product license was previously submitted for the same events in the current case.

#### About Periodic Reports

This section discusses the different fields and features available in Periodic Reports.

##### General Usage Information

When using periodic reports be aware of the following:

- You can filter cases in the following period reports based on the Case Locked/Archived date:

  - NDA

  - IND

  - PSUR

  - CTPR

- When you select the Case Locked/Archived date, the system limits the cases based on whether the case has been locked or archived within the specified time frame.

- The locked date is the lock date for the current case.

- If there is significant FU in the reporting time frame, the system considers the case a follow-up case in the group options of the PSUR/CTPR reports.

- If you specify the time frame for the case locked/archived date, the system disables the following:

  - Include Follow-up

  - Exclude Follow-up

  - Include Summary of Unlocked Cases

  - Include Unlocked Cases

- For the 15 day report section of the NDA Reports, the system uses the timestamp to determine whether there are further follow-up or downgraded cases in that date range.
