Case Study: Akros Pharma Inc achieves faster, more accurate regulatory documents with Litera Microsystems' DocXtools

Docxtools for Life Sciences is Helping Akros Pharma to Accelerate the Completion of More Accurate Documents for Regulatory Approval

Akros Pharma Inc, the US arm of JT Pharmaceuticals, faces heavy volumes of regulatory medical writing where speed, consistency, and accuracy are critical. The team’s challenge was avoiding “tunnel vision” on repetitive documents that can lead to formatting inconsistencies, grammatical errors, and missed abbreviations—all of which must be flawless before submission. To address this, Akros Pharma Inc turned to Litera Microsystems and its DocXtools for Life Sciences solution.

Litera Microsystems implemented DocXtools, a Microsoft Word add‑in that automates the company’s style guide checks—verifying paragraph styles, formatting, key phrases, abbreviations, and specialized spelling beyond standard spellcheck. The tool has helped turn documents submission‑ready more quickly, reduced review cycles (users report saving “at least a few hours, if not a half day” on reviews), is simple to install (about 20 minutes), and is being rolled out from four initial users to more regulatory staff for faster, more accurate document turnaround.
