Abstract:

Life sciences organizations spend significant resources putting together clinical study reports consisting of tables, listings and figures to obtain approval of their compound for a particular indication. This typically involves creating mock-ups and specifications for each individual table, listing and figure within a report. The goal of this roundtable is to discuss approaches and best practices for creating and storing specifications. How do we simplify their construction, maximize their re-use, use them to reduce statistical programming, and tie them to CDISC standards? Come share your thoughts and learn from others on how to reduce time and error and increase quality.
