How JumpStart Works

JumpStart represents a critical step in the creation of an integrated review environment that allows data experts to support data quality assessments and enables regulatory reviewers to focus their safety analyses.

The data fitness portion of the JumpStart service helps reviewers:

  • Assess clinical trial data quality

  • Determine what types of analyses can be performed and what review tools can be used

  • Identify where there are gaps or inconsistencies in the data that may have an impact on the review

Safety analyses give reviewers:

  • A global view of the safety profile of a drug

  • Insight to areas that may warrant further analysis during the review process

The table below describes key JumpStart functions and their purposes, and the corresponding benefits.
