Paper 1102-2021 Todd Case and YuTing Tian Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Boston, USA Abstract The primary purpose of this paper is to first lay out a process of generating a simplified Transport (.xpt) file with RStudio and Python to meet study electronic data submission requirements of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The second purpose of this paper is to compare the .xpt files created from three different languages: R, Python and SAS. The paper is the expansion of the original FDA guideline document “CREATING SIMPLIFIED TS.XPT FILES”, published in November, 2019. Transport files can be created by SAS, as well as open source software, including R and Python. According to the FDA guideline document mentioned above, .xpt files can be created by R and Python. This may allow Pharmaceutical companies to expand use of R and Python beyond data visualization and statistical analysis currently being generated by these two languages. Hopefully, readers can use the process shown in the paper as a template to create .xpt files.   Watch the presentation Watch Generating .XPT Files With SAS®, R and Python as presented by the authors on the SAS Users channel on YouTube.     Topics Covered This paper and video includes these topics and examples.
