During the Consultation, a total of 91 INNs were discussed, including:

70 new INN requests, including 31 for biological substances

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

As a result of these discussions, 79 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in

List 110 of Proposed INNs, while 2 requests were deferred for future discussion. Four requests were

rejected by the INN experts, as the substances did not conform to the criteria for INN selection. Four

amendments are planned to be published in List 110. Three new stems have been selected and 3

suffixes have been promoted to the pre-stem list.
