BRP2 MedDRA Modifiers
A MedDRA Blue Ribbon Panel (BRP) meeting was held on 18 June 2004 in Reston, Virginia, USA to discuss the MedDRA Modifiers concept. In addition to Blue Ribbon Panel members and MSSO staff, there were approximately 40 MedDRA subscriber observers in attendance.
The BRP began by discussing some of the proposed options for approaches to modifiers implementation outlined in the concept paper. The focus of discussions later switched to alternate ways to achieve the modified terms specifically requested by the MedDRA user community through a planned process that would involve subscriber input.
Subsequent to the meeting, the Panel began work on a report to the MedDRA Management Board that will recommend steps to proceed with this alternate approach to adding modified terms to MedDRA; this document is still in progress as of 28 July 2004.
