Given a medicinal product can have different MEA due to multiple therapeutic indications and also given the MEA dynamism, we limit our representation to only capture the forms of MEA for a MP/OMP without entering into the details for each therapeutic indication/line of treatments and current status of MEA/registry.

MAH, marketing authorisation holder; OMP, orphan medicinal product.
