What we Teach ?

Clintech Solution Has Designed MedDRA Coding Training Program for Hands-on MedDRA Coding and Dictionary. To learn MedDRA Coding for ICSR, Aggregate, Literature search, or Signal Team.

MedDRA for Regulatory Activities

MedDRA, which stands for the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, is an invaluable resource used for coding purposes and is particularly essential for individuals aspiring to work in coding and the pharmacovigilance domain. MedDRA comprises a comprehensive collection of terminologies that are used for coding and communication. Its vast terminology bank includes terms related to signs, symptoms, diseases, syndromes, diagnoses, indications, investigations, medication errors, quality terms, procedures, and medical and social history.

​

MedDRA employs a hierarchical structure with five levels, which are as follows:

​

System Organ Classes (SOCs)
Higher Level Group Terms (HLGTs)
Higher Level Terms (HLTs)
Preferred Terms (PTs)
Lowest Level Terms (LLTs)


In pharmacovigilance practice, the most commonly used levels are the LLT and PT levels. LLTs contain the most specific terms, often medical terms, while PTs encompass high-level, non-specific terms. MedDRA use is mandated by the European Union for pharmacovigilance reporting and is recommended by the US FDA. Due to its advantages over other dictionaries, nearly all companies utilize MedDRA for regulatory reporting.

​

The MedDRA dictionary can be integrated into pharmacovigilance databases and can also be accessed as a browser. The MedDRA Support Service Organization (MSSO) provides a browser to subscribers, and a subscription is required to access the dictionary.

MedDRA coding is an indispensable skill in the pharmacovigilance department. It involves understanding complex situations, different conditions, complete cases, and the art of accurate coding, making training in this area essential."

​

  • What is SDTM- Study Data Tabulation Model?
    The Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) is a standard format for organizing and presenting clinical trial data. It is one of the regulatory submission standards specified by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) and is used for the submission of clinical trial data to regulatory agencies such as the FDA. The SDTM standard defines the structure and content of clinical trial data in a consistent manner, making it easier to analyze and compare data across multiple studies. It provides a framework for organizing data into standard domains, such as demographics, adverse events, laboratory results, and medication data. The SDTM model is intended to be used in conjunction with other CDISC standards, such as the Analysis Data Model (ADaM) for defining analysis datasets used in statistical analysis, and the Define-XML standard for defining the metadata and data structure for submission datasets. Adopting the SDTM standard has many benefits, including reducing the time and cost of data management and analysis, increasing the accuracy and consistency of clinical trial data, and making it easier for regulatory agencies to review and assess clinical trial data. In summary, the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) is a standard format for organizing and presenting clinical trial data in a consistent and standardized manner. It is a key component of the CDISC submission standards for regulatory agencies and has many benefits for clinical trial data management and analysis.
  • What is CDISC?
    The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) is a standards developing organization (SDO) that deals with medical research data linked with healthcare to enable the information system interoperability to improve the clinical research and related areas of healthcare. The CDISC is a global nonprofit organization that actively develops Data standards for the pharmaceutical industry. It sets Data standards, which are a critical component in the quest to improve global public health and overcome the inefficiencies in collecting, processing, and analyzing patient and health-related information. It also drives up on the cost of drug development for life sciences companies and can effectively work on the price and quality of health care delivery for patients and consumers. The CDISC brings efficiency to the entire drug development procedure by improving the Data quality and speed-up the whole drug development process, to perform that CDISC developed a series of standards like Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and Analysis Data Model (ADaM).
  • Clinical SAS programmer approach
    The clinical SAS programmer has the primary responsibility of writing programs in SAS to generate the output (tables, listings, and figures) needed to analyze and report the clinical study data. They have to review the Case Report Forms (CRFs) and the database structures where the data will be stored, written, and collected. A clinical SAS programmer will write SAS programs to clean the database data according to the edit check specifications provided by COMs. Clinical Data clarification items will be generated by this data cleaning system and will be sent to the clinical site for a clear resolution. The clinical programmers writing programs to validate output and data sets produced by others and which entails creating data sets in a standardized structure and format for submission to the FDA
  • What is ADaM - -Analysis Dataset Model ?
    Analysis Data Model (ADaM) is a standard format used for the submission of analysis-ready datasets to regulatory agencies such as the FDA for clinical trials. It is one of the regulatory submission standards specified by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC). The ADaM model is used to organize and structure the data for statistical analysis, and it provides a consistent approach for organizing data across multiple clinical trials. It defines standard variables and formats for the datasets used in statistical analysis, including efficacy and safety data. The Analysis Dataset Model (ADAM) is a subset of the ADaM model, which is used specifically for analysis datasets. It defines the data structure and content for the datasets used in statistical analysis, such as the datasets for primary efficacy analysis, safety analysis, and supportive analysis. The ADAM model is intended to be used in conjunction with other CDISC standards, such as the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) for defining the structure and content of clinical trial data, and the Define-XML standard for defining the metadata and data structure for submission datasets. In summary, the Analysis Dataset Model (ADAM) is a standard format for organizing and structuring the datasets used in statistical analysis for clinical trials. It provides a consistent approach for organizing data and is a key component of the CDISC submission standards for regulatory agencies.
