Potential risk

"An unexpected event for which there is suspicion of an association with a medicinal product, but where this association has not been confirmed. Some examples are:

  • toxicological findings seen in non-clinical safety studies which have not been observed in clinical studies
  • adverse events observed in clinical trials or epidemiological studies for which the difference compared with the control group raises a suspicion of an association, but is not large enough to suggest a causal relationship"
