Key Responsibilities

  • Enter and track Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) in pharmacovigilance quality and tracking systems in accordance with SOPs and study-specific safety plans.

  • Support end-to-end ICSR processing, including case triage and assessment for completeness, accuracy, seriousness, and regulatory reportability.

  • Prepare complete, accurate, and compliant case narratives.

  • Identify missing or inconsistent data, initiate follow-up queries, and ensure timely resolution.

  • Assist in the preparation and submission of expedited safety reports in compliance with global regulatory requirements.

  • Perform manual recoding of un-recoded product and substance terms arising from ICSRs.

  • Identify and manage duplicate safety cases.

  • Support SPOR and IDMP-related pharmacovigilance activities.

  • Perform quality review of ICSRs to ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance.

  • Ensure timely filing of safety documentation in the Trial Master File (TMF) and Pharmacovigilance System Master File (PSMF) in line with SOPs and sponsor requirements.

  • Maintain compliance with SOPs, Work Instructions, ICH-GCP, ICH guidelines, GVP modules, and global safety regulations.

  • Collaborate effectively with internal and external project stakeholders.

  • Participate in audits, inspections, and regulatory readiness activities as required.

  • Apply regulatory intelligence updates provided by Syneos Health to daily safety operations.
