RESUMO

Background: Human pharmacological research is essential for the generation of new knowledge in order to generate benefits in health care, but risks are associated. According to the Handbook for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Adverse Event (AE) is "any untoward medical occurrence inconveniences suffered by the participant or subject of research in clinical research with drugs and do not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment ". Objective: To determine the incidence of adverse events (AEs) related to the most cited gastroenterological risks in pharmacological research protocols. Methods: An incident cases study (non-controlled cohort) was performed. The factor under study was the set of GI adverse events (AE-GI) reported. We assessed reports of adverse events reported to the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre Research Ethics Committee from January to December 2010. In the last twelve months have been monitored more than 110 different pharmacological research projects with a cumulative 8,179 adverse event reports evaluated (3). Results: The sample involved 26 different projects in 2010 (Jan-Dec), 63 occurrences were reported as EA-GI. The EA-GI were more frequent nausea / vomiting 21 (33.3%) of cases, abdominal pain with 12 (19%), diarrhea with ten (15.9%) of cases, elevated liver enzymes with nine (14 3%) and other GI with EA-17, 5%. The reports occurred in other associated centers totaling 87.3% and 12.7% at HCPA. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for a careful evaluation of the Research Ethics Committee specially when documents of research protocols were evaluated and when adverse events reports were monitored. All these evaluations - prior and ongoing - should always seek appropriate protection of participants in research projects.
