To achieve this, Oracle Argus Safety Flexible code list is enhanced with additional values in Console > Code Lists > Flexible re-categorization > CASE_CLASSIFICATION:

  • The new MFDS attribute is added.
  • The existing E2B(R3) attribute is updated for the additional values.

It is recommended to set the Console > Business configuration > Studies > Observe Study Type according to the Other Study Type so that C.5.4 will be transmitted as 3 (Other studies) and C.5.4.KR.1 will be transmitted as corresponding MFDS attribute value.

What this means to business users: No additional data entry required (and derived from configuration)
