In the late 1990s, the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) developed MedDRA, a rich and highly specific standardized medical terminology to facilitate sharing of regulatory information internationally for medical products used by humans. ICH’s powerful tool, MedDRA is available to all for use in the registration, documentation and safety monitoring of medical products both before and after a product has been authorised for sale. Products covered by the scope of MedDRA include pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines and drug-device combination products. Today, its growing use worldwide by regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organizations and health care professionals allows better global protection of patient health.

The newly redesigned Web-Based Browser (WBB) [wbb.meddra.org] has been released today. The big change is the redesign of the user interface. The design goal was to simplify the interface and focus on searching since this is the most frequently used WBB function. All the features in the legacy WBB are included in the new WBB with a few additions: • This update merges the legacy WBB and MedDRA Version Analysis Tool (MVAT) into one application. Users will be able to run Version and Data Impact Reports alongside searching and browsing the MedDRA hierarchy • Users can log into WebCR [webcr.meddra.org] directly from inside the WBB to submit term translation update change requests • Users can configure the settings of the WBB (e.g., languages, MedDRA codes on/off, search filters, documentation options) and they are stored locally and remembered in the navigation bar when the user starts the WBB the next time. • Users can select from all supported MedDRA languages to search without having to first select the language to browse the MedDRA hierarchy The new WBB will run in parallel to the legacy WBB and MVAT applications for the next year. The credentials needed to log into the updated WBB are the same as before.
Our team won't present any live webinars this week, but recorded sessions can be viewed anytime on our YouTube Channel: https://buff.ly/4163wx5 Playlists are organized by language and trainer to help you easily find the right webinar for you!
