Common Terminology Criteria for A...

Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 3.0, DCTD, NCI, NIH, DHHS March 31, 2003 ( http://ctep.cancer.gov ), Publish Date: August 9, 2006 Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE) Publish Date: August 9, 2006 Quick Reference The NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 is a descriptive terminology which can be utilized for Adverse Event (AE) reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term. Components and Organization CATEGORY A CATEGORY is a broad classification of AEs based on anatomy and/or pathophysiology. Within each CATEGORY, AEs are listed accompanied by t heir descriptions of severity (Grade). Adverse Event Terms An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure that may or may not be considered related to the medical treatment or procedure. An AE is a term that is a unique representation of a specific event used for medical documentation and scientific analyses. Each AE term is mapped to a MedDRA term and code. AEs are listed alphabetically within CATEGORIES. Short AE Name The ���SHORT NAME���column is new and it is used to simplify documentation of AE names on Case Report Forms. Supra-ordinate Terms A supra-ordinate term is located within a CATEGORY and is a grouping term based on disease process, signs, symptoms, or diagnosis. A supra-ordinate term is followed by the word ���Select��� and is accompanied by specific AEs that are all related to the supra-ordinate term. Supra-ordinate terms provide clustering and consistent representation of Grade for related AEs. Supra-ordinate terms are not AEs, are not mapped to a MedDRA term and code, cannot be graded and cannot be used for reporting. REMARK A ���REMARK��� is a clarification of an AE. ALSO CONSIDER An ���ALSO CONSIDER��� indicates additional AEs that are to be graded if they are clinically significant. NAVIGATION NOTE A ���NAVIGATION NOTE��� indicates the location of an AE term within the CTCAE document. It lists signs/symptoms alphabetically and the CTCAE term will appear in the same CATEGORY unless the ���NAVIGATION NOTE��� states differently. Grades Grade refers to the severity of the AE. The CTCAE v3.0 displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild AE Grade 2 Moderate AE Grade 3 Severe AE Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE Grade 5 Death related to AE A Semi-colon indicates ���or��� within the description of the grade. An ���Em dash��� (���) indicates a grade not available. Not all Grades are appropriate for all AEs. Therefore, some AEs are listed with fewer than five options for Grade selection. Grade 5 Grade 5 (Death) is not appropriate for some AEs and therefore is not an option. The DEATH CATEGORY is new. Only one Supra-ordinate term is listed in this CATEGORY: ���Death not associated with CTCAE term ��� Select ��� with 4 AE options: Death NOS Disease progression NOS Multi-organ failure Sudden death. Important: ��� Grade 5 is the only appropriate Grade ��� This AE is to be used in the situation where a death 1. cannot be reported using a CTCAE v3.0 term associated with Grade 5, or 2. cannot be reported within a CTCAE CATEGORY as ���Other (Specify)��� Contents ALLERGY/IMMUNOLOGY ............................................1 AUDITORY/EAR............................................................2 BLOOD/BONE MARROW .............................................4 CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA..............................................5 CARDIAC GENERAL....................................................7 COAGULATION ..........................................................10 CONSTITUTIONAL SYMPTOMS................................11 DEATH........................................................................13 DERMATOLOGY/SKIN ...............................................14 ENDOCRINE...............................................................17 GASTROINTESTINAL.................................................19 GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT................................29 HEMORRHAGE/BLEEDING....................................... 30 HEPATOBILIARY/PANCREAS ................................... 34 INFECTION................................................................. 35 LYMPHATICS .............................................................38 METABOLIC/LABORATORY ......................................40 MUSCULOSKELETAL/SOFT TISSUE........................ 43 NEUROLOGY ............................................................. 47 OCULAR/VISUAL........................................................ 52 PAIN............................................................................ 55 PULMONARY/UPPER RESPIRATORY...................... 56 RENAL/GENITOURINARY.......................................... 60 SECONDARY MALIGNANCY.....................................63 SEXUAL/REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION..................... 64 SURGERY/INTRA-OPERATIVE INJURY................... 66 SYNDROMES............................................................. 68 VASCULAR................................................................. 70
