Pharmacovigilance 
SIRO offers a comprehensive range of medical and pharmacovigilance services essential for the conduct of clinicaltrials
including study preparation, study conduct, medical coding, medical review and Drug Safety Officer (DSO)activities. Depending on
the contractual obligations, the staff at SIRO may take over a part or the complete responsibility for any medical or
safety-related issues.
The medical affairs team is comprised of physicians and pharmacists with many years of medical and pharmacovigilance experience and detailed knowledge in various therapeutic areas. By this we ensure that key requirements within clinical trials are managed in line with regulatory demands. For pharmacovigilance this includes not only the expedited reporting of Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSAR) but also the appropriate handling of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and Unexpected Adverse Event Information. On demand SIRO can provide 24X7 backup to investigators during conduct of trials.

Our services are offered across all phases of clinical development. They ensure safetyand risk management throughout clinical development and post-approval. Our expert advisory services help sponsors identify and manage post-marketing setbacks that threaten both product revenues and reputation.
By offering this service, we are able to support pharmaceutical companies within specific functions. Our pharmacovigilance service is particularly useful for companies without a dedicated pharmacovigilance department that are looking for specific, cost-effective solutions for pharmacovigilance tasks.
Tasks handled by our pharmacovigilance team include:
Medical Advice
The medical advisor will conduct, support, and review the development of all documents required within a clinical trial (e.g. protocol, informed consent, CRF) and prepare for approval by the sponsor. The medical advisor will assist the study team for all medical issues before, during, and after the conduct of the study.
Safety Monitoring
The Drug Safety Officer (DSO) is responsible for the review of all study-related documents and the detailed safety review of all incoming CRFs within 24 hours after receipt (or at least on the next working day in the case of weekends). Previously not recognized or not appropriately reported Serious Adverse Events or Unexpected Adverse Events must be notified to the sponsor within 24 hours and documented on an initial SAE report form. If data is incomplete or inconsistent, the DSO may contact the investigator directly for clarification of those issues and document this in an SAE follow-up report.
