QED Pharmaceutical Services Picks SAS Clinical Data Integration to Help Clients Implement CDISC Standards

QED Pharmaceutical Services has licensed SAS® Clinical Data Integration to enable its drug development clients to more easily form partnerships with key biopharmaceutical companies. SAS offers a comprehensive portfolio of life sciences software solutions for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies.

“The availability of SAS Clinical Data Integration has made it possible for QED to efficiently implement complex data standards such as the CDISC standards,” said Dr. Ramana Kuchibhatla, QED founder. “This allows us to help our clients - predominantly small and sometimes virtual biopharmaceutical companies - achieve important milestones despite their size. Compliance with the latest CDISC standards makes growing drug developers like our clients very attractive partners to large pharma companies that are looking to in-license successful drug development programs. ”

QED also uses other SAS products including SAS® Enterprise Business Intelligence. With the knowledge base created by these systems, QED can offer cost-effective services for its clients. “It’s as if we have designed an efficient mechanical engine, and now, with little modification for each clinical trial, we can crank out CDISC-compliant data and get our clients’ datasets output in regulatory submission-ready formats,” said Kuchibhatla.
