Overview
During the Consultation, a total of 143 INN requests were discussed, including:
- 103 new INN requests, including 45 for biological substances
- 37 outstanding requests
- 3 previously selected proposed INN, against which a formal objection had been raised
As a result of these discussions, 119 new names were selected, which are planned to be published in List 114 of Proposed INNs, while 16 requests were deferred for future discussion. Five requests were rejected by the INN Expert Group, as the substances did not conform to the criteria for INN selection. Three amendments are planned to be published in List 113 of p.INN. Two new stems/substems have been selected and 7 suffixes have been promoted to the pre-stem list.
