In 1986, CIOMS set up its rst Working Group on pharmacovigilance, a Working Group on International
Reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions to exploreCIOMS
means of coordinating and standardizing international
adverse drug reporting by pharmaceutical manufacturers to regulatory authorities. Its agenda was limited
to post-marketing reporting of adverse drug reactions occurring in one country and which the
THE COUNCIL FOR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF MEDICAL SCIENCES
pharmaceutical industry should report to regulatory authorities in other countries where the drug is also
marketed. The Working Group devised a method 2019
for the reporting by manufacturers of suspected adverse
drug reactions which included standardized de nitions, procedures and format. The report contains the
CIOMS reporting Form 1, which for the rst time set the minimum standard for reporting. The CIOMS Form
1 was later the basis for establishing many of the national reporting forms.

published. Since then more than ten Working Groups, including the recent two Working Groups dealing
with vaccine safety have completed their work creating an extremely valuable set of pharmacovigilance
guidance documents.
The impact of CIOMS Working Groups on Global development pharmacovigilance has been substantial.
Several ICH (International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for
Human Use) guidelines, such as E2A, E2C, E2D and E2F, were based on the work of respective CIOMS
Working Groups (see also the CIOMS Newsletter of June 2016).
ICH was established in 1992, and in 1996 it started developing the ICH E2B guideline to harmonize
international electronic transmission of Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs), i.e. to standardize the data
elements for the transmission of all types of ICSRs, regardless of source and destination. This includes case
safety reports for both pre-approval and post-approval reporting periods and covers both adverse drug
reaction (ADR) and adverse event (AE) reports. Today, most electronic exchange of ICSRs uses the ICH E2B
standard. Since the CIOMS I form is a reporting form, not primarily intended for electronic exchange
between databases, linking the CIOMS I form to E2B can be helpful.
