Subscription Types

The MSSO provides different types of subscriptions based on the type of the organisation. MSSO subscriptions are for twelve months. During the renewal process, the current subscription type and level (if applicable) is reviewed to see if the subscription type is still accurate.

There are four different types of MedDRA MSSO subscriptions:

  • Regulatory Authority all regulatory authorities are eligible to receive MedDRA at no charge. This includes the English version of each release of MedDRA as well as all available translations.

  • Non-Profit / Non-Commercial are reserved for non-profit medical libraries, educational institutions, and direct patient care providers, i.e., hospitals for educational use or as a reference tool. In general, any non-commercial organisation conducting non-commercial work.

  • Commercial – are for commercial organisations (e.g., pharmaceutical companies, CROs). The rates vary based on the annual revenue (turnover) of the organisation.

  • System Developer are reserved for organisations that develop software products that utilise MedDRA. The use of MedDRA by system developers is limited to software development and testing with MedDRA and not for providing MedDRA support services (e.g., coding, analysis, transmission of MedDRA coded data).

Points to Consider Document

 

 

 

In what language is MedDRA available?

MedDRA is available in Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Portuguese - Brazilian, Russian, and Spanish to all users via download.

Should both - Service provider and Client have MedDRA Subscription?

It is the intent of the ICH, the owners of MedDRA, that all pharmaceutical companies have a current MedDRA licence to code, analyse, report, or hold MedDRA coded data. CROs that code, report, or hold MedDRA coded data must also have a current licence to MedDRA. Otherwise, the sharing of data violates the MedDRA licencing agreement created by the ICH regarding the distribution of MedDRA to another party. You may also see our Statement on MedDRA Data Sharing.
