Validating Clinical Trial Data Reporting with SAS (SAS Press)
Validation is a critical component to programming clinical trial analysis Essential to effective validation is the programmer's understanding of the data with which they'll be working. If you don't understand how the data is arranged, the values that are reasonable for each variable, and the way the data should behave, you cannot ensure that the final result of your programming effort is complete or even appropriate. Therefore, to be a successful programmer in the pharmaceutical industry, you need to understand validation requirements and to learn how to make the code do the bulk of the work so that your programs are efficient as well as accurate. This indispensable guide focuses on validating programs written to support the clinical trial process from after the data collection stage to generating reports and submitting data and output to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The authors provide practical examples, explanations for why different techniques are helpful, and tips for avoiding errors in your output. Topics addressed include: - Validation and pharmaceutical industry overviews
- Documentation and maintenance requirements discussions
- General techniques to facilitate validation
- Data importing and exporting
- Common data types
- Reporting and statistics
This book is designed for SAS programmers who are new to the pharmaceutical industry as well as for those seeking a good foundation for validation in the SAS programming arena. Readers should have a working knowledge of Base SAS and a basic understanding of programming tasks in the pharmaceutical industry..

Validating Pharmaceutical Systems: Good Computer Practice in Life Science Manufacturing
All too often, the words "computer validation" strike terror into the hearts of those new to the process and may even cause those familiar with it to tremble Validating Pharmaceutical Systems: Good Computer Practice in Life Science Manufacturing delineates GCP, GLP, and GMP regulatory requirements and provides guidance from seasoned practitioners on how to fulfill them. John Andrews and his team tackle the perceived complexities surrounding the validation of a wide variety of automated systems. Sprinkled with case studies and real-life examples, the book offers a step-by-step review of topics such as planning, design, auditing, risk management, and specification. The in-depth, by example coverage demystifies the challenges of manufacturing execution systems(MES), laboratory information management systems(LIMS), and network qualification. The first section examines the different levels of automated systems used throughout the drug development, manufacture, and delivery lifecycle, using the GAMP 4 lifecycle approach to their validation. The second section uncovers some real-life applications of GAMP 4 to different areas of the regulations such as GLP, GCP, GMP, and GDP. The book explores some of the latest thinking on computer validation and reflects changes that have occurred in the industry since the early days of validation. The contributors are a deliberate blend of those who have faced the problems of the 1990s and the Y2K controversies and those who have more recently arrived on the scene and made an impact on the perception of validation of automated systems across the field of GxP. They do more than show you how to do the right thing; they show you how to do the right thing in compliance with regulations..
