Forums: Define.xml
Hi Rajalakshmi,
No, now Pinnacle 21 does not support Define-XML v2.1. P21 support will be available after accepting this standard by regulatory agencies.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
FDA begins to support Define.xml v2.1 from 03/15/2021. When will P21 release the next version to support the standard?
Thank you,
Hi Phillip,
I cannot provide specific dates for starting support for Define-XML 2.1. It is still considered as low priority task due to lack of business demand for Define-XML 2.1 at this moment.
While FDA formally started accepting Define-XML 2.1 in 2021, "requirements begin" only in 2023. So far, I have never seen any study implemented using new version of Define-XML. All our clients including FDA and PMDA are asking about Define-XML 2.1 only in sense of curiosity. Everybody are still OK! with Define-XML 2.0. Users do not like changing their existing processes for no real benefits.
Yes, Define-XML 2.1 has some nice new features. But timing for their adoption is still coming in the next few years with FDA publishing new guidance documentation with therapeutic-specific requirements. Like current CBER guidance for vaccines or CDER Pilot OCE/OOD Safety Team Standard Data Requests.
Kind Regards,
Sergiy
Dear Philip,
As one of the (co)developers of the Define-XML 2.1 standard, I already see a lot of use of it, also for sponsor submissions to the FDA.
If you do a search on the internet, you will find some tools, including mapping software (i.e. software that starts from a define.xml template to generate SDTM) that supports or uses Define-XML 2.1.
You may always contact me for more information.

Hi,
We are currently using Pinnacle21 Community version to create define and validation. We are able to create the define in v2.0 format. Is there a way to create define.xml in v2.1 format using Pinncle21 Community version. Please help.
