Description

Definitely Previously known toxicity of product; or an event that follows a reasonable
temporal sequence from administration of the study product; that follows a
known or expected response pattern to the suspected study product; that is
confirmed by stopping or reducing the volume of the study product; and that is
not explained by any other reasonable hypothesis.

Probably An event that follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of
study product; that follows a known or expected response pattern to the
suspected study product; that is confirmed by stopping or reducing the dosage
of the study product; and that is unlikely to be explained by the known
characteristics of the subject's clinical state or by other interventions.

Possibly An event that follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of
study product; that follows a known or expected response pattern to the
suspected study product; but that could readily have been produced by a
number of other factors.

Unrelated An event that can be determined with certainty to have no relationship to the
study drug.
