Analysis Programs in Module 5

FDA’s June 2026 conformance guide states that sponsors should provide source code used to create ADaM datasets, tables, and figures associated with primary and secondary efficacy analyses, and its folder table includes designated programs subfolders. This is FDA study-data submission guidance and does not imply that every analysis program from every internal workflow must be publicly or universally submitted.
