The Development Safety Update Report (DSUR) and the EU and UK annual safety reports summarise the safety of an investigational product across all its trials for the year. Preparing them means pulling cases, line listings, cumulative tables and signal decisions together by a fixed date. Cloudbyz Safety & Pharmacovigilance holds that data on one Salesforce-native platform, coded and current, with Cloudbyz EDC on the same platform for the underlying trial data. It is used by large pharma, global multinationals, biotechs, CROs and device companies.

Late or incomplete annual safety reports are inspection findings, and gaps in the underlying data make them hard to defend.

Large sponsors prepare DSURs for many products, each drawing on several trials, CROs and regions, often with different reporting calendars. What matters is one consistent case set and coding across all of them, so each report is assembled rather than reconstructed.
A biotech's first DSUR often arrives a year into its first IND, with a small team and data spread across a CRO and an EDC vendor. What matters is having its own complete, coded case data, so the first report is accurate and the next one is easier.
Cloudbyz Safety & Pharmacovigilance is built natively on Salesforce. According to Cloudbyz product materials, it supports multi-source case intake including E2B R2 and R3, MedDRA and WHODrug coding, automated narratives and statistical signal management, giving annual reports a single, current data source.
