MedDRA

Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) is maintained by the ICH (International Council for Harmonisation). It is the international standard for coding adverse events, medical history, and indications in clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance. MedDRA is organized in a five-level hierarchy: System Organ Class (SOC), High Level Group Term (HLGT), High Level Term (HLT), Preferred Term (PT), and Lowest Level Term (LLT).

System identifiers: meddra-en · meddra-de · meddra-es · meddra-fr · meddra-dk · meddra-se · meddra-it

import requests

# Replace these with your values
ENVIRONMENT = "<eu-or-us>"
TENANT = "<your-tenant-name>"
TOKEN = "<your-access-token>"

response = requests.post(
    f"https://api.{ENVIRONMENT}.corti.app/v2/tools/coding/",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}",
        "Tenant-Name": TENANT,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={
        "system": ["meddra-en"],
        "context": [{"type": "text", "text": "Patient developed severe nausea and vomiting three days after starting metformin. Reported feeling dizzy and fatigued."}],
    },
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())

# Replace these with your values
ENVIRONMENT="<eu-or-us>"
TENANT="<your-tenant-name>"
TOKEN="<your-access-token>"

curl -X POST "https://api.${ENVIRONMENT}.corti.app/v2/tools/coding/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
  -H "Tenant-Name: ${TENANT}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "system": ["meddra-en"],
    "context": [{"type": "text", "text": "Patient developed severe nausea and vomiting three days after starting metformin. Reported feeling dizzy and fatigued."}]
  }'

JavaScript and .NET SDK support for MedDRA will be available once meddra-* identifiers are added to the CommonCodingSystemEnum. Use the REST API directly in the meantime.

Language support

MedDRA prediction is available in seven languages, each with its own system identifier:

Language	System identifier
English	`meddra-en`
German	`meddra-de`
Spanish	`meddra-es`
French	`meddra-fr`
Danish	`meddra-dk`
Swedish	`meddra-se`
Italian	`meddra-it`

MedDRA is in Beta because we do not have real-world benchmark datasets for it. The model has only been evaluated on synthetic data, and performance may not reflect real-world clinical trial or pharmacovigilance workflows. We encourage you to evaluate it against your own data and use case. If you notice anything that doesn’t look right, please let us know so we can improve it.
