I support the CFAST Mission; however, as you and others (http://waynekubick.com/2016/01/18/dear-cfast-please-slow-down-to-catch-up/) have noted, the CFAST initiative has exposed challenges with various aspects of the underlying model and as well as its distribution (i.e. versioning). You are correct, the resources required to simply “keep up” are indeed quite formidable. Further, in my experience as both a sponsor employee and consultant, I have seen not only the therapeutic area standardization effort, but foundational standardization effort being questioned. <br /><br />In my opinion, “industry” - sponsors, regulatory agencies, technology providers, standards development organizations, etc. - needs to have a more candid, public, transparent discussions regarding industry-wide standards. I know one will find support for standards, but I also know that like this blog, many will question the current state, its sustainability, and, frankly, its value in day-to-day operations.<br /><br />The PhUSE/FDA Computational Science Symposium will be hosting a panel discussion entitled “Next Generation Standards and Analysis - How do we support product review in 10 years?” Perhaps that can be the spring board to the broader discussion I referenced above. In my opinion, the industry simply cannot afford to be having the same discussions for the next ten years.Scott Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459865437012119865noreply@blogger.com
