E2B Configuration Guide

Export results screened as ICSR direct into E2B XML files

MLM-AI can generate E2B XML files in R2 and R3 format as an export option, containing verbatim information on patient, drug and event data. E2B is a widely used format for exchanging safety information, for example for case creation in a safety database.

Once enabled, a new "E2B" tab is shown in the Article Details screen allowing users to add case details to fields expected by the E2B standard. The E2B tab is itself a tabbed view where the fields correspond to E2B elements in the exported XML file (see below for a mapping of each field in the R2 and R3 versions).

This guide walks you through how to setup MLM-AI for E2B exports according to your company requirements.

E2B Settings

In the Settings page, the following E2B settings are configured once, and will be used at every XML export.

To enable E2B tab, set "E2B Enabled" to either Yes - R2 only or Yes - R2 & R3(Recommended)
To configure E2B exports for your environment, see the reference field mapping below.

Below is an example of a test configuration sending from an "other" organization (ex: service provider) to a pharmaceutical company:

Reference E2B Field Mapping

In the below tables we provide a mapping between the fields in MLM-AI and the International Council for Harmonisation's Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) Document Type Definition.

For E2B R2 we reference version 2.1 which is available here
For E2B R3 we reference the Implementation Guide for ICSR's which can be downloaded here.
