Guidance Document

August 2022

This guidance provides instructions for the electronic submission of expedited individual case safety reports (ICSRs) from investigational new drug (IND)-exempt bioavailability (BA)/bioequivalence (BE) studies through the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. An ICSR captures information necessary to support the reporting of an adverse event related to an individual subject that is associated with the use of an FDA-regulated product. The electronic submission of the ICSRs from IND-exempt BA/BE studies is a voluntary option for submission.
