Digital Study Report · DSR

Your GLP Study Report, machine-readable

PointCross generates a digitized, machine-readable file from a draft or final nonclinical GLP Study Report. The DSR comes as a by-product of our SEND data standardization and SEND ASSURE services, or as a standalone deliverable, giving Sponsors and CROs an indexed, searchable repository of studies for cross-study analysis.

Why it matters

SEND datasets are not always what the report says

When SEND was first mandated by the FDA in 2016, many datasets generated across the industry lacked quality and were frequently inconsistent with the audited GLP Study Reports. Rigorous quality checks surface these issues immediately.

The DSR is how PointCross proves the SEND data accurately reflects the Study Report.
What it is

A digital study report in columnar tabulation

The DSR is a natural by-product of our high-fidelity SEND data standardization and our rigorous, automated SEND quality check.

Study metadata

All required metadata and summary tables

Everything the Study Report carries, in machine-readable form, available for use in TS.xpt and the other SEND domains.

Trial design

A complete set of Trial Design domains

Informed by the actual study design used in the Study Report, so the structure of the study is captured exactly as conducted.

Conclusions

The Study Director’s conclusions, digitized

Digital extracts of the Director’s conclusions are carried into the DSR, in the same terminology used in the report.

Format

Machine-readable, terminology-faithful

Delivered as columnar tabulation that any SEND visualization tool can read, unencumbered by the PDF study report.

Use cases

One digital record, several jobs

01

Reconcile and QC the SEND dataset

The DSR re-generates the summaries published in the Study Report for the same cohorts and groups, so the SEND dataset can be QC’ed and reconciled against them. After reconciliation, the DSR is an accurate digital representation of the report and the SEND data accurately reflects it.

02

Open in any SEND visualization tool

The DSR is readable by any SEND visualization tool, including the Xbiom platform, which includes a Reconciler and eDataValidator for performing all checks on the SEND dataset.

03

Build a searchable study repository

For Sponsors and CROs who want an indexed, searchable repository of legacy studies, the DSR enables cross-study analysis against other digitized studies, and even ongoing ones.

FAQ

The Digital Study Report, answered

What is a Digital Study Report (DSR)?+
The DSR is a digitized, machine-readable file generated from a draft or final nonclinical GLP Study Report. It is available in columnar tabulation and contains all required study metadata and summary tables, a complete set of Trial Design domains as informed by the actual study design, and digital extracts of the Study Director’s conclusions.
How is the DSR generated?+
It is a natural by-product of our high-fidelity SEND data standardization process or our rigorous, automated SEND quality check. It can also be commissioned as a separate, standalone deliverable.
How does the DSR help QC a SEND dataset?+
The DSR re-generates the summaries published in the Study Report for the same cohorts and groups, so the SEND dataset can be reconciled against them. After reconciliation, the DSR is an accurate digital representation of the report and the SEND data accurately reflects the Study Report.
What tools can read the DSR?+
The DSR is readable by any SEND visualization tool, including the Xbiom platform, which includes a Reconciler and eDataValidator for performing all checks regarding the SEND dataset.
Can the DSR replace SEND?+
If a DSR is required as an alternate to SEND, this service is applicable. It also serves Sponsors and CROs who want an indexed, searchable repository of legacy studies for cross-study analysis.
