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...

Sponsor conducting Xenograft studies on a tumor growth

Challenge: The study design is an involved lattice with multiple trial arms and with multiple CROs involved. Standard trial designs such as those in SEND are not sufficient. Tumor growth values are provided very frequently by multiple CROs. Sponsor-provided plasma concentration values are provided in Excel sheets. A method for estimating the inhibitory concentration...

Delayed PK data hampers clinical assessment

Delay in availability of Pharmacokinetic (PK) data from Bio-Analytics labs inhibits assessment of clinical pathology findings. Challenge: Pharmacokinetic Concentration (PC) calculations of the treatment and metabolites are generated from biosamples sent to bio-analytics labs. The PK modeling and generation of PK parameters such as Cmax and Tmax, AUC (for various timepoints), and Cav, reported in...

Case Study: Business Benefits from Monitoring of Ongoing Studies

Sponsor looks to use on-going studies to make tactical and strategic decisions on planned and future studies and their design sooner, rather than wait until the final study reports are published. Challenge: Completed studies were previously not readily available to the Sponsor in a machine-readable digital form, and only PDF study reports were available in...
