SDTM Automation: Streamlining Clinical Trial Data
Clinical trial data management is a complex process that requires the collection and analysis of vast amounts of data. To ensure data consistency, accuracy, and integrity, the pharmaceutical industry has developed the Standard Data Tabulation Model (SDTM). In this article, we will explore the significance of automation in clinical trials, particularly automated data mapping,...
EDC Raw Data to SDTM Curation, Mapping and Automation with the Xbiom Tool
At PHUSE US Connect 2023, PointCross Life Sciences presented a new way to automate the mapping of raw clinical EDC and non-EDC (biomarker) data to SDTM mapping through a Universal Data Model (UDM). Reducing the time to SDTM from weeks to days with built-in traceability, we discussed how SDTM programming and mapping for statistical analysis...

Clinical and Nonclinical validation Tools
When it comes to clinical and nonclinical study submission datasets to the FDA or PMDA, there are multiple validation tools available. This article will talk about eDataValidator (eDV) from PointCross Life Sciences, which offers a strong and complete validation tools for both clinical and nonclinical studies. The eDataValidator is a single solution for IND, NDA, and BLA...
FDA SEND Dataset Services
Ensuring FDA Compliance with SEND Dataset Requirements: PointCross's Comprehensive Solutions The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires SEND (Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data) as a standard for nonclinical study data submission to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). SEND is a data standard mandate of CDISC SDTM standard for nonclinical studies...
SDTM – Everything that you need to know
What is SDTM? SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) is one of the requirements for data submission to the FDA (U.S) and PMDA (Japan). To facilitate data collection, management, analysis, and reporting procedures, SDTM offers a standard for organizing and presenting data. Implementing SDTM helps with data warehousing and aggregation, encourages mining and reuse, makes sharing...

Incorporating Histopathology data of organs and tissues for terminal subjects from a draft PDF report
Challenge: Necropsy data and histopathology results were available only as a PDF report after the study’s conclusion. The CRO-provided LIMS data for pathology was not available until a conversion to SEND had been done, well after the final PDF Study Report was generated. This prevented pathology findings and incidence counts from being cross-assessed against...
