How can we use SAS in Pharma Insustries. I know about SAS and its use in Clinical Trials. How much is it useful in Pharmaceutical industry

SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is widely utilized in clinical trial data analysis in pharmaceutical, Bio-Technology, and clinical research organizations. The utilization of SAS in clinical researches has given unbelievable results in past years. SAS can help healthcare professionals to meet their business goals, generate great revenue, enhance strategic performance management, and most importantly control costs.

Role of SAS in Pharma Industry

The major role of SAS in Pharma Analytics mainly focusses on generating the TLF’s or TLG’s.
The CDISC standards like SDTM and ADAM which are used to standardize and to analyze the clinical trial data and the generation of reports can be only done by using Clinical SAS since the FDA accepts only SAS reports.
The department of BIO- Statistics is using clinical SAS for writing the SDTM and ADAM specifications and in the creation of SAP (Statistical Analysis Plan).
CDM team is using SAS to perform data analysis before loading the data into certain databases.
Analysis with clean data and validating the clinical trial data will reduce the pain on the FDA to have a good overview of the clinical reports. Hence most CRO’s are preferring clinical SAS as the best tool to use for its safety and efficiency when compared with other software tools.

SAS is leader in Pharma industries.

Hello @SDBedekar ,

The use of SAS in clinical trials is well known and widespread.

But perhaps your question was meant to probe more into the use of SAS in the actual production (rather than development) of drugs and vaccines?

Let me know if this is the case and if you still need info on that topic.

Note that this forum also has 2 boards on SAS for Health and Life Sciences. 

Go to Solutions (drop-down menu) > SAS Health and select one of the 2 displayed boards.

Cheers,

Koen
