Title: Learnings and Reflection on the Implementation of Risk-based Package Assessment
Abstract: This contribution has the aim to reflect on the implementation of risk-based approaches to assess R package accuracy within a validated infrastructure. The discussion reflects thinking of the R Validation Hub working group, which is a cross-industry initiative funded by the R Consortium. Our mission is to enable the use of R by the bio-pharmaceutical industry in a regulatory setting, where the output may be used in submissions to regulatory agencies. In early 2020, the R validation Hub has published a white paper which addresses concerns raised by statisticians, statistical programmers, informatics teams, executive leadership, quality assurance teams and others within the pharmaceutical industry about the use of R and selected R packages as a primary tool for statistical analysis for regulatory submission work. In the meanwhile, the R consortium has successfully submitted a fully R-based test package to FDA and various companies have implemented the concept of risk-based R package validation into their standard processes. We will present our learnings from those applied case studies. We highlight which aspects were easy to implement into practice and where difficulties occurred. We also review how new developments in the riskmetric
R package and shiny app can help with the recent learnings.

Status: Abstract Submitted Title: Performing Risk Assessments of R Package Accuracy using Shiny Abstract: In this presentation we introduce the Risk Assessment Shiny application and explain how it can be used to perform a risk assessment of R package accuracy within a validated infrastructure as required within a biopharmaceutical regulatory setting. The Risk Assessment Shiny Application is an interactive web application that serves as an interface to the riskmetric package. Both tools have been developed by the R validation hub, which is a cross-industry initiative funded by the R Consortium. The shiny application portraits the metrics coming from riskmetric, categorized into maintenance, community usage, and testing. The application can be used to record comments on the metrics, which are stored in an underlying database. This makes it possible to stop and start reviews at the reviewer’s convenience. Once a review is complete, a final summary comment can be provided before a final decision is made on the package. In line with the white paper, the decision is an overall risk score: low, medium, or high. The reviewer is then able to generate either an HTML or a DOCX report containing the metrics, comments, and some additional high-level information about the package.
