INN 50th Executive Summary

During the Consultation, a total of 111 INN were discussed, including:

• 76 new INN requests, including 26 for biological substances

• 30 outstanding requests

• 5 previously selected proposed INN, against which a formal objection had been raised

As a result of these discussions, 93 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in List 104 of Proposed INNs, while 10 requests were deferred for future discussion. One request was rejected by the INN experts, as the substance did not conform to the criteria for INN selection. Three amendments were planned to be published in List 104. Two INN applications have been abandoned during the selection process and two objections could not be retained.
