Letter Placeholder for the IND Cover Letter

  • You can define a placeholder for the IND_SIMILAR_EVENTS table. The system uses data from this table to populate the Case Number, Protocol Number, Subject ID, and Adverse Event terms for previously submitted cases reporting the same events.
  • If no reports were submitted, the system prints None Submitted instead of the table.

    The placeholder only prints this information when it is used in the cover letter for the Regulatory Report. The system uses the license associated with the scheduled report to track other cases where the same product license was previously submitted for the same events in the current case.
