The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a draft guidance document on decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) for drugs, biological products, and medical devices. This guidance outlines the FDA’s recommendations for designing, executing, and evaluating these trials and provides guidance on ensuring patient safety and the accuracy of the data generated. Additionally, it includes information on how sponsors of these types of trials can use emerging technologies and remote monitoring methods to conduct the trials while still ensuring the safety of patients and the accuracy of the results.

Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS 21.1  OData service allows external applications or web publishing services to obtain data from your SampleManager LIMS^© instance.

The service uses its own dedicated Windows / Console service to safely deliver specific data to external applications.

Being more flexible than other REST-based web services, it provides a uniform way to describe the data and the data model for easy interoperability between data sources, applications, services, and clients. The SampleManager LIMS^© OData Service is supported by applications such as Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and many more.

It differs from direct database access as it utilizes the enhanced data governance of SampleManager LIMS^©, honors roles, limits which fields can be seen, and provides custom functions. External applications can only see the query definitions provided by the service.

OData Queries

SampleManager LIMS^© OData Service utilizes the OData queries to define the selection criteria on rows from a SampleManager LIMS^© entity type, the columns of the selected data that are available through the SampleManager LIMS^© OData service, and an optional set of functions to process the selected data.

The first indications of data integrity issues in the pharmaceutical industry began in the 1980’s, with the revelation that several generic drug manufacturers had submitted fraudulent data to the FDA on their Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs).  Some of these generic drug manufacturers even went so far as to repackage name brand drugs as samples of their own products before submitting them for bioequivalency tests.

Since then Data Integrity has taken on a life of its own and is now a critical facet of Laboratory Compliance. This paper will explore this in great detail.
