First, I noticed that I was getting a lot of email notifications and messages. More than usual. Something happened and the news was spreading. It was a Federal Register Notice (“FRN”) and it honestly came as a bit of a surprise. It was announcing that the FDA were adopting SENDIG-DART and stating they would start …

I know the title is the obvious cliché, but I had to do it. Sometimes things are obvious for a reason. I’ve just finished putting together my SOT/ToxExpo presentation and I’m still lamenting the fact that it’s virtual again this year. Anyway, as I alluded to in my previous blog post, this year’s presentation looks …
Beyond /bɪˈjɒnd/ Preposition “more extensive or extreme than; further-reaching than.” This week I have been writing the abstract for my talk at this year’s SOT meeting. Even though the event is again virtual, as you may have guessed by now, I’ll take any opportunity to inflict my opinions about SEND on anyone who’ll show up …
In the last CDISC SEND Core Team meeting, we got to discussing Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) data, and its representation in SEND. We were debating what we’d recommend, and this is the cause of my conflict. The purist within me wants to scream “Custom Domain!”. The pragmatist knows the industry isn’t ready for this. I want …
“SEND is just an electronic representation of your study report.” This used to be my stock phrase. I actually believed it. It was how the world seemed a few years ago. I meant every word of it. The concept is admirable, but the reality seems to be getting more removed all the time. The intention …
Well Happy New Year one and all! After saying a final sayonara to 2020, I’m sure that you, like me and the rest of the world are hoping that 2021 ends up being so much better than its predecessor. That’s got me thinking about what’s happening with SEND in 2021. As discussed a couple of …
This month marks the anniversary of the start of the requirement for SEND. It has been 3 years since SEND became required for INDs and 4 years since it’s requirement for NDAs. In our world, that really is not a long time. Yet, for many of us, SEND has completely changed our world. So, in …
In Part 1, I went into the detail of what the new SENDIG-DART standard covered; and now I’ll conclude by describing what’s involved in ensuring the industry is equipped with the necessary tools and services in order to successfully participate in the FDA’s Fit For Use (FFU) pilot for SENDIG-DART. The view from the trenches …

It’s here. It’s finally here. It’s actually real. This is going to happen. This is part 1 of a 2 part mini-series, hang in there… I’m referring to the FDA Federal Register Notice for the pilot of SENDIG-DART (that’s SEND for Reproductive Tox). It’s a new SEND standard, and the FDA are going to run …
“There’s a saying around here: If you don’t like the weather… wait 10 minutes!”. Pre-COVID, I was fortunate that my work allowed me to travel, and especially around the US. This is a phrase I’ve heard several times and everyone thinks it’s unique to their area, but it’s actually pretty common. I was reminded of …
