§3.2Summary by disposition

Table 2. Counts by disposition, with the meaning of each.

DispositionCountMeaning
Accepted7The submission is accepted and the draft is amended as proposed. The amendment is recorded in the amendment log of the document it changed and is traceable to the numbered submission.
Accepted in part4Part of the submission is accepted and part is not. The secretariat response states which part is which and on what ground the remainder was declined.
Noted, no amendment2The submission raises a point the Institute accepts but that does not require a change to the draft, most often because the draft already states it elsewhere. The location is given in the response.
Not accepted2The submission is not accepted. The secretariat response gives the reason. A submission that is not accepted remains published in full; the Institute does not remove a submission because it disagrees with it.

§3.3Resulting amendments

  1. Trials are described as terminated where they completed as planned — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/002. Trial status now uses a fixed vocabulary defined in the glossary, and where the reason for stopping is not evidenced by a document the Institute holds, the status is recorded as stopped with the reason not established rather than assigned.
  2. The monograph does not tell a reader that a stated mass may be substantially counter-ion and water — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/003. The monograph now states, at the point where vial contents are first mentioned, that a mass figure is uninterpretable unless it states whether it is peptide content or total solids, and cross-references the content standard in the analytical series.
  3. Regulatory status is stated without naming the jurisdiction — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/005. Every regulatory status statement now names the authority, states the date on which the status was verified, and is recorded per jurisdiction rather than as a single global assertion.
  4. Every contributing trial shares one sponsor and the monograph does not say so — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/006. Sponsor concentration is now stated with the certainty rating, and the monograph records how many independent sponsors contributed evidence to each assessed outcome.
  5. The mechanism section is written with more confidence than the clinical section it precedes — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/007. Every pharmacology section now closes with a statement identifying which described actions are supported by clinical evidence assessed in §3 and which are not. The pharmacology itself is stated as the sources state it.
  6. The difference between pulsatile and continuous administration is not addressed — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/008. The administration schedule is now stated with every effect estimate for these compounds, and the pharmacology section describes the dependence of direction on schedule.
  7. The search date is not on the face of the document — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/010. The search date is now printed adjacent to every certainty rating and is carried in the document metadata, so that the interval between the search and the reading is visible without reference to the methods section.
  8. Storage and reconstitution guidance is given without stating what it rests on — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/011. In-use periods now appear only where supported by a cited stability determination on a stated presentation, and elsewhere the monograph records that no in-use stability evidence was identified for this presentation.
  9. The analytical section assumes a reference standard that is not generally available — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/013. The analytical section now states whether a reference standard is in general circulation for this compound and, where it is not, states which determinations remain possible and which become qualitative. A content figure obtained without a reference standard…
  10. The analytical section is longer than the clinical assessment it accompanies — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/014. The analytical section is reduced to compound-specific content and cross-references the relevant standards for the general procedure, which shortens it substantially without removing what is not available elsewhere.
  11. Adverse event frequencies are given without the denominator or the exposure period — arising from DRAFT-TESAMORELIN-/015. Every reported frequency now carries the number of participants, the number of events and the exposure period, and comparator-arm figures are reported alongside rather than in a separate table.
