Planning safety reviews for a compound developed for multiple diseases is complex, requiring consistency across studies and analyses. A compound-level Data Monitoring Committee ensures unblinded safety review consistency, while an Aggregate Safety Assessment Plan (ASAP) supports post-study assessments. This presentation explores how an ASAP was implemented across a program to enable ongoing safety profile development as studies complete. It also introduces an interactive R Markdown application for real-time aggregate reviews, aligning with new draft regulatory guidance. This approach provides reviewers with access to program-level and individual study data during development, improving safety oversight. Key topics include the importance of coordination, teamwork, and standards to maintain a reliable safety database. A "year in review" will highlight lessons learned and enhancements made, concluding with an example of the application’s interactive capabilities.

Learning Objective : Recognize and apply the Aggregate Safety Assessment Planning (ASAP) concept to drug development and aggregate safety analysis; Discuss implementing the ASAP effectively within an organization; Identify and utilize the importance of an interactive application for performing ongoing aggregate safety reviews.
