ICH Releases Updated MedDRA Guidance

The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) released 2 April new guidance on using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).

The two released guidance documents - MedDRA Term Selection: Points to Consider Documents and MedDRA Data Retrieval andPresentation: Points to Consider Documents - provide best practice approaches for data entry (coding) and data retrieval/analysis for MedDRA version release 15.0.

MedDRA Term Selection: Points to Consider Documents is to promote accurate and consistent term selection.

MedDRA Data Retrieval and Presentation: Points to Consider Documents is to demonstrate how data retrieval options impact the accuracy and consistency of data output, including how certain drugs of therapeutic areas may need a customized approach for data output.
