Implementing Controlled Terminology (Updates) Excerpt from Draft Guidance: Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format - Standardized Study Data (Feb-2012) “When planning a study (including the design of case report forms, data management systems, and statistical analysis plans), the sponsor should identify which FDA-supported standard terminologies to use for submission. If a sponsor identifies a concept for which no standard term exists, we recommend that the sponsor submit the concept to the appropriate terminology maintenance organization as early as possible to have a new term added to the standard dictionary. We consider this good terminology management practice for any organization. The creation of custom terms for a submission is discouraged (i.e., so called extensible code lists)...“ Use of CDISC New Term Request Webpage? Experiences/Response Times?
