SEND Implementation Guide v3.1 Now Available

Study Design Coverage Expanded

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - July 8, 2016 - The CDISC/SEND Leadership Team has announced that the CDISC/SEND Implementation Guide, v3.1 has now been released. This important extension of the SEND standard addresses issues identified in SEND 3.0, expands the range of study designs that can be accommodated and also resolves ambiguity in some of the timing variables.

The SEND Implementation Guide (IG) is intended to guide the organization, structure, and format of standard nonclinical tabulation datasets for interchange between organizations such as sponsors and CROs and for submission to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The SENDIG is based upon, and should be used in conjunction with, the newly released Version 1.5 of the CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM), which is included in the document package.

To access the document package interested parties are encouraged to visit the CDISC announcement www.cdisc.org/send.

Instem will be holding an Express Webcast that will provide an explanation of the changes to the standard, along with guidance on implementation considerations.

There will be two identical, live Webcasts that you can join right from your desktop, tablet or phone. Please register below:

Tuesday July 26th 9:30am – 10am US Eastern
Wednesday July 27th 1:30pm – 2pm US Eastern
