Importance of Effective Data Management
Statistical analysis
– an accurate database is the basis for drug approval by the FDA
– Adherence to federal regulation and guidelines mandate the safety
and welfare of patients participating in trial and ultimately, the
safety of patients prescribed the approved drug
Marketing the drug
– It is important for patients and physicians to clearly understand the
indication for the treatment, potential side effects, and
contraindications for the use of the product
Post marketing surveillance
– Drug companies are required to send safety information to the
FDA after the drug has been approved and marketed
