For each type of research involving the human person, the investigator records the adverse events or abnormal analysis results defined in the protocol as decisive for the evaluation of safety, keeps a documentary record of them and notifies them to the sponsor. The notification procedures are defined by decree.
It informs the sponsor of all serious adverse events occurring in participants, unless the protocol states otherwise.
The sponsor shall notify the competent authority and, in the case of research involving persons with no medical condition who voluntarily consent to such research, the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, of all relevant information relating to the safety of the research, in accordance with the procedures defined by decree.
Without prejudice to Article L. 1123-9, for all research involving the human person, when an unexpected serious adverse reaction or a new fact concerning the research or the product which is the subject of the research are likely to affect the safety of the persons who undergo it, the sponsor and the investigator shall take the appropriate urgent safety measures.
For the research mentioned in 2° and 3° of Article L. 1121-1, the provisions of this article only apply in the absence of provisions relating to vigilance applicable to each product or practice which is the subject of the research.
