Dear all,

The R Foundation for Statistical Computing has an official document (Dec. 28, 2012) about "R: Regulatory Compliance and Validation Issues A Guidance Document for the Use of R in Regulated Clinical Trial Environments". Looks like this document is updated from time to time. Also, Soukup of FDA had slides about "Using R: Perspectives of a FDA Statistical RevieweR". Hope these two documents can help the discussion. The content of Soukup's slide may need to be updated.

❝ ❝ I’m preparing a clinical ANDA BE study for the company I work with and for that purpose I’m using R and the package PowerTOST (I’m computing power and sample size and also I use CVfromCI and CVpooled)...


PowerTOST is a great tool in sample size and power estimation, especially in RSABE/scABE. I can bet that Detlew Labes must spend a lot of time and efforts to develop it and improve it. I used to download its tar file (containing all source codes; welcome to the open source world!) from CRAN and study its coding skills. I do learn a lots from it.

❝ For evaluation of BE in R you need e.g. Yung-Jin Lee's excellent BEAR or ...


Thanks for compliments. Hope the next release will get much better.

All the best,
