Regulatory reporting of unexpected serious adverse drug reactions: to whom should these be reported?

Explanation:
When an unexpected serious adverse reaction occurs in a trial, it must be reported to both the regulatory authority and the IRB/IEC. Reporting to the regulatory authority flags a potential public-health risk and may prompt regulatory actions. Reporting to the IRB/IEC ensures ongoing ethics oversight, protecting participants and prompting any needed changes to the protocol or consent. The sponsor is part of the process, but the immediate recipients of such reportable events are the regulatory authority and the IRB/IEC.
