Overview 

The new Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSR) standard and the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E2B(R3) Implementation Guide are the next major changes on the horizon. Pharmacovigilance data management will never be the same.

ICSR is a Health Level Seven (HL7) standard for the capture of the information needed to support the reporting of adverse events, product problems or consumer complaints associated with the use of FDA regulated products. HL7 ICSR will be used as the FDA baseline data exchange standard, and is currently being pilot tested to support FDA’s transition to a unified electronic environment for managing all FDA-regulated product information for adverse event reports, product and consumer complaints, and product problem reports. HL7 ICSR Release 1 was approved as an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard in 2005, and has been piloted to support electronic medical device reporting (eMDR) for CDRH. The new ICSR Release 3 which has been elaborated as an SDO Joint Initiative between three standards development organizations CEN, HL7, and ISO provides support for adverse event reporting for all FDA regulated products.

Both FDA and EMA, which have been closely collaborating on the standards development, are in the process of preparing new guidance concerning the use of the ICSR for regulatory reporting purposes. The use of MedDRA in the context of the ICSR reporting and FDA’s new MedDRA coding policy at LLT level will be also presented.

FDA is organizing this “Information Day” with input from the EMA to provide the latest information about these standards, the pilot testing and the implementation planning. The achievement of an ICH step four ICSR Implementation Guide will be also presented in the context of the overall planning including key comments received as part of the step three public consultation and the way they have been resolved. Included in the ICSR implementation strategy is the future ISO Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) standard. The IDMP standards support the regulation of medicines and pharmacovigilance activities including ICSR reporting. The important interlink between ICSR and IDMP will be discussed at length.
