(b)

	
Unexpected adverse drug experience is defined as:













	
  

	
(i)

	
Any adverse drug experience that is not listed in the current labeling for the drug product. This includes events that may be symptomatically and pathophysiologically related to an event listed in the labeling but differ from the event due to greater severity or specificity. Unexpected, as used in this definition, refers to an adverse drug experience that has not been previously observed (included in the labeling).













	
  

	
(c)

	
Certain information, while not meeting the above definition of an AE/ADR, shall nonetheless be transmitted to Hemispherx.  This information, hereinafter referred to as “Other Information Reportable to Hemispherx,” includes:













	
  

	
(i)

(iii)

	
AE(s)/ADR(s) of special interest as designated by Hemispherx or a local regulatory authority.
