Utilizing OvidSP and QUOSA for AdComm Prep
Natalie Rainford, Astellas Pharma Global Development
Those in the industry understand that a lot of work goes into every NDA submission. However,
few may appreciate the post-submission events leading up to FDA action. Astellas decided to
use this in-between time to do a major literature analysis in preparation for any concern an
Advisory Committee might raise. Not wanting to leave any stones unturned, the ambitious
goal was to review a significant segment of the biomedical literature. Starting from scratch,
Natalie was integral in designing a workflow utilizing Ovid ( for searching) and QUOSA ( for
retrieval, user tagging/annotating and storage/management). And while there were certainly
bumps in the road, Natalie mitigated the challenges by being proactive and service-oriented.
In her presentation, Natalie will cover the client-group’s wants and needs, the workflow
implementation and a description of the final product.
