ClinPlus Report has Superior Presentation Capabilities

Because CPR does not rely on SAS procs like Report or Tabulate it does not have the limitation inherent in those procs enabling users with the flexibility to produce data presentations in a precise format that they would otherwise be unable to provide.  Features like stacking and word-boundary wrapping of multiple text fields within a column, decimal point alignment and conditional footnotes are just a few that elevate CPR above the others.

  

  

  

Statistics

Over 100 descriptive and comparative statistics from many SAS/Stat procedures are calculated directly from CPR eliminating the need to write the procedure calls and merge output for the report.  CPR also allows the inclusion of other statistics not directly supported.

  

  

  

RTF Style Sheets offer absolute control

A proprietary RTF (Rich Text Format) engine has been developed to satisfy the pickiest of medical writers.  These include (just to name a few) horizontal and vertical padding of text to the 1/100^th of an inch, automatic bolding of significant p-values, placing tiles and footnotes in table cells rather than the header/footer sections.  RTF parameters are defined using "RTF style sheets". A Single RTF Style Sheet may be used for all tables and listings.  PDF or HTML output may also be automatically generated from the RTF output.

  

  

Tables are NDA-Ready

Working directly with Medical Writers from Tier-1 Pharma, many features were developed resulting in the elimination of any need to reformat tables intended for submission in the final NDA report and the chance for human error in this crucial step.  Even Table of Contents tags can be added with CPR.

  

  

ClinPlus Report uses consistent Programming Methodology

CPR's programming framework ensures that all statistical programmers are using the same methods and approach regardless of the types of tables being produced.  This results in the reusability of programs, faster training of new programmers and the seamless transfer of code between programmers. The time-savings that results from these two attributes  alone has proven to deliver the greatest a possibilities for a faster ROI.

  

  

Work in an Organized Programming Environment

A hierarchical structure of template libraries supports the global, study and project standardization while allowing the flexibility required by unique statistical analysis plans.  While standards may be maintained, users are always free to deviate where required and, since CPR is an authoring tool, tables and listings not found in template libraries are easily produced.   CRO users are able to maintain separate libraries for each sponsor.  Title/Footnote libraries are linked to programs and provide a single point for editing common text and table numbers.

Last minute changes are easy!

Reformatting, adding/removing analysis variables or statistics or just about any adjustment can be made in minutes.  Style and/or text changes that affect all tables and listings are made only once.   

  

  

  

Integration and Deliverability

Since all programs generated using CPR are SAS programs, they are easily integrated into any existing versioning, execution and organizational systems and procedures.  Programs are deliverable to and executable by regulatory agencies or sponsors.  Many documentation features provide transparency to the "black-box" to satisfy reviewers.  Acceptability is evident in the many hundreds of NDA submissions that have been made and accepted using CPR over nearly 2 decades.
