3 MedDRA Background

4 What is MedDRA? Med = Medical D = Dictionary for R = Regulatory
A = Activities

5 MSSO M = Maintenance S = Support S = Services O = Organization

6 MedDRA and the MSSO International support and development of terminology Foster use of MedDRA through communications and educational offerings “Custodians”, not owners, of the terminology JMO (partner organization for Japanese-language MedDRA) Governed by a Management Board (industry, regulators, multi-national, other interested parties)

7 Maintenance Organization Structure
ICH Steering Committee User Group Management Board Board of Directors Staff Maintenance Organization Development Maintenance Implementation User Support Communication JMO User Communities Regulatory Authorities Regulated Industries WHO Others

8 Regulatory Status of Mandate
US FDA MedDRA used in FDA’s internal adverse event database (AERS) since 1997 Proposed Rule for Safety Reporting Requirements (2003): FDA proposes to use MedDRA for postmarketing safety reports Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Electronic reports mandatory from October 2003 MedDRA to be used in Periodic Infection and Safety Reports from April 2004 For medical devices with biological components, infections to be described with MedDRA terms

9 Regulatory Status of Mandate (cont)
European Union Clinical trial SUSARs (Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions) and post-authorization Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) reported to EudraVigilance database require MedDRA (LLT codes, current, or previous version) MedDRA required for adverse reaction terms in Periodic Safety Update Report EU Risk Management Plan: MedDRA to be used to code indications, and risks and interactions (potential and identified)

10 Regulatory Status of Mandate (cont)
European Union (cont) Summary of Product Characteristics Guideline (October 2005): MedDRA to be used in Undesirable Effects section Volume 9A: Standardised MedDRA Queries (SMQs) recommended for signal detection ICH M4E Guideline on Common Technical Document MedDRA recommended in adverse event summary tables

11 MedDRA Overview

12 MedDRA Definition MedDRA is a clinically-validated international medical terminology used by regulatory authorities and the regulated biopharmaceutical industry. The terminology is used through the entire regulatory process, from pre-marketing to post-marketing, and for data entry, retrieval, evaluation, and presentation. e.g. in full regulatory process: Clinical studies - Reports of spontaneous adverse reactions and events - Regulatory submissions - Regulated product information

13 MedDRA Structure System Organ Class (SOC) (26)
High Level Group Term (HLGT) (332) High Level Term (HLT) (1,682) Preferred Term (PT) (17,867) Lowest Level Term (LLT) (65,605)

14 System Organ Class System Organ Class (SOC)
High Level Group Term (HLGT) High Level Term (HLT) Preferred Term (PT) Lowest Level Term (LLT)

15 System Organ Class (cont)
Highest level of the hierarchy SOCs identified by: Anatomical or physiological system Etiology Purpose

16 System Organ Classes Blood and lymphatic system disorders
Cardiac disorders Congenital, familial and genetic disorders Ear and labyrinth disorders Endocrine disorders Eye disorders Gastrointestinal disorders General disorders and administration site conditions Hepatobiliary disorders Immune system disorders Infections and infestations Injury, poisoning and procedural complications Investigations Metabolism and nutrition disorders Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (incl cysts and polyps) Nervous system disorders Pregnancy, puerperium and perinatal conditions Psychiatric disorders Renal and urinary disorders Reproductive system and breast disorders Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Social circumstances Surgical and medical procedures Vascular disorders

17 High Level Group Term Subordinate only to SOCs and superordinate descriptor for one or more HLTs SOC Cardiac disorders HLGT Coronary artery disorders HLGT Cardiac arrhythmias HLGT Cardiac valve disorders

18 High Level Term Subordinate to HLGTs and superordinate descriptor for the PTs linked to it SOC Cardiac disorders HLGT Cardiac arrhythmias HLT Cardiac conduction disorders HLT Rate and rhythm disorders NEC HLT Supraventricular arrhythmias

19 Preferred Term (cont) PT Characteristics
Represents a single medical concept No limit to the number of LLTs that can be associated with a single PT An identical LLT is created for every PT

20 Preferred Term (cont) Each PT represents a single medical concept
Terms with two or more concepts Are ONLY found at the LLT level Were “inherited” from other terminologies Are matched with the most clinically relevant PT e.g., “Nausea vomiting and diarrhea” from COSTART is an LLT linked to PT Vomiting in MedDRA

21 Preferred Term (cont) PT Characteristics (cont)
Each path to a SOC from a PT has exactly one HLT and HLGT (one route) PT  HLT  HLGT  SOC PTs can be represented in multiple SOCs

22 Examples of PTs SOC = Cardiac disorders HLGT = Cardiac arrhythmias
HLT = Rate and rhythm disorders NEC PT Arrhythmia PT Bradycardia PT Tachyarrhythmia

23 Lowest Level Term (cont)
LLT Characteristics An LLT has one or more of the following relationships to a PT: Synonym Lexical variant Sub-element Many terms from included terminologies are represented at the LLT level

24 Lowest Level Term (cont)
LLT Characteristics (cont) Constitutes the entry level of the terminology and is linked to a single PT Can have current or non-current status Culturally unique terms are found at this level

25 Examples of LLTs SOC = Cardiac disorders HLGT = Cardiac arrhythmias
HLT = Rate and rhythm disorders NEC PT = Arrhythmia LLT Dysrhythmias LLT Arrhythmia NOS LLT Arrhythmia LLT (Non-current) Other specified cardiac dysrhythmias

26 Non-Current Terms Non-current terms are flagged at the LLT level within MedDRA Not recommended for continued use Retained within the terminology to preserve historical data for retrieval and analysis Terms very vague, ambiguous, out-dated, truncated, or misspelled Terms derived from other terminologies that do not fit MedDRA rules

27 MedDRA Codes Each MedDRA term assigned an 8-digit numeric code
The code is non-expressive Codes can fulfill a data field in various electronic submission types (e.g., E2b) Initially assigned alphabetically by term starting with New terms are assigned sequentially Supplemental terms are assigned codes

28 A Multi-Axial Terminology
Multi-axial = the representation of a medical concept in multiple SOCs Allows grouping by different classifications Allows retrieval and presentation via different data sets Purpose of Primary SOC Determines which SOC will represent a PT during cumulative data outputs Is used to support consistent data presentation for reporting to regulators

29 A Multi-Axial Terminology (cont)
A PT can be associated with one or more SOCs One of the associations is primary; all others are secondary A PT will have one and only one path to any particular SOC MedDRA can express multi-axiality at the PT, HLT, or HLGT level

30 A Multi-Axial Terminology (cont)
SOC = Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders SOC = Infections and infestations HLGT = Respiratory tract infections HLGT = Viral infectious disorders HLT = Viral upper respiratory tract infections HLT = Influenza viral infections PT = Influenza

31 A Multi-Axial Terminology (cont)
SOC = Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders SOC = Immune system disorders HLGT = Allergic conditions HLGT = Angioedema and urticaria HLT = Angioedemas PT = Angioedema

32 A Multi-Axial Terminology (cont)
SOC = Endocrine disorders SOC = Metabolism and nutrition disorders HLGT = Glucose metabolism disorders (incl diabetes mellitus) HLT = Diabetes mellitus (incl subtypes) PT = Diabetes mellitus

33 A Multi-Axial Terminology (cont)
PTs in the following SOCs only appear in that particular SOC and not in others, i.e., they are not multi-axial Investigations Surgical and medical procedures Social circumstances

34 Primary SOC Allocation
Every PT is assigned to a Primary SOC Purpose of Primary SOC: Determines which SOC will represent a PT during cumulative data outputs Is used to support consistent data presentation for reporting Secondary SOCs are used for additional scientific analysis

35 Rule for Primary SOC Allocation

52 Standardised MedDRA Queries (SMQs)

53 Definition of SMQ Result of cooperative effort between CIOMS and ICH (MSSO) Groupings of terms from one or more MedDRA System Organ Classes (SOCs) related to defined medical condition or area of interest Included terms may relate to signs, symptoms, diagnoses, syndromes, physical findings, laboratory and other physiologic test data, etc., related to medical condition or area of interest Intended to aid in case identification

54 SMQs in Production - Examples
As of Version 10.1, a total of 55 in production (Many other SMQs in development) Adverse pregnancy outcome/reproductive toxicity (incl neonatal disorders) Agranulocytosis Anaphylactic reaction Cerebrovascular disorders Convulsions Depression and suicide/self-injury Hepatic disorders Ischaemic heart disease Lack of efficacy/effect Peripheral neuropathy Pseudomembranous colitis Rhabdomyolysis/myopathy Severe cutaneous adverse reactions Systemic lupus erythematosus

77 Issues for Consideration

78 Tools to Support Use of MedDRA
Formats Electronic Browser Good facilitation Ability to view the terminology Typically, does not support coding for large batches of data A MedDRA subscription will provide a flat ASCII file.

79 Impact of MedDRA Implementation
Evolving terminology issues Training Who? When? Where? What type of training? Different versions How often do you update? Legacy data?

80 Impact of MedDRA Implementation (cont)
Evolving terminology issues Internal synonym lists Do you maintain a company specific/project specific synonym list? How often will you update your synonym list? Tools Do you have an autoencoder or browser? Can you run multiple versions of MedDRA at one time?
