Program Content:
The CDISC SDTM/ADaM Pilot Project was conducted as a collaborative pilot project with FDA and Industry. The objective of the pilot project was to test how well the submission of CDISC-adherent datasets and associated metadata met the needs and the expectations of both medical and statistical FDA reviewers. In doing this, the project also assessed the data structure, resources and processes needed to transform data from a data source into the SDTM and ADaM formats, and to create the associated metadata. An additional goal was to produce a worked example implementation of the CDISC standards available at that time, including the Define.xml file.

This webcast will review the experiences, results, and learnings of the pilot project core team regarding the creation of a CDISC-adherent submission. Key aspects of the worked example will be highlighted, as will issues to keep in mind while exploring the example package (e.g., improvements or changes made in standards that are not addressed in the package).

Perspectives on the pilot project will be presented from CDISC and from the FDA, with a live question and answer session at the conclusion of the presentation.

Please note: The comments, statements and opinions attributed to regulatory review team members reflect views of those individuals and are conveyed as informal feedback by the pilot project team in the spirit of effective information sharing, and must not be taken to represent guidance, policy, or evaluation from the Food and Drug Administration.

Learning Objectives:

Gain an understanding of the logistics and processes used in the CDISC SDTM/ADaM pilot project

Hear key points deemed worthy of emphasis: the successes, the snags, and the solutions and work around that went into the successful completion of this pilot

Learn from the pilot project experience what things to consider when planning for your own CDISC submissions

Hear from FDA the positive effects of CDISC data standards on the submission and review process.

    Hi Sharath the information you have shared here is very helpful. i would be obliged if you could post any information regarding nonmem related sas data sets ie how are nonmem datasets prepared using sas

    Hi Sarat,

    I have been a SAS programmer till now, planning to become a clinical SAS programmer. I am needing some inputs on this topic. Please email me at reachkalai2009@gmail.com.

SAS Interview Questions and Answers: CDISC, SDTM and ADAM etc

1) What do you know about CDISC and its standards? CDISC stands for Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium and it is developed keeping in mind to bring great deal of efficiency in the entire drug development process. CDISC brings efficiency to the entire drug development process by improving the data quality and speed-up the whole drug development process and to do that CDISC developed a series of standards, which include Operation data Model (ODM), Study data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and the Analysis Data Model ADaM ). 2) Why people these days are more talking about CDSIC and what advantages it brings to the Pharmaceutical Industry? A) Generally speaking, Only about 30% of programming time is used to generate statistical results with SAS®, and the rest of programming time is used to familiarize data structure, check data accuracy, and tabulate/list raw data and statistical results into certain formats. This non-statistical programming time will be significantly reduced...

Comparing Two Methods for Removing Formats and Informats in SAS: DATA Step vs. PROC DATASETS

-
Comparing Two Approaches to Removing Formats and Informats in SAS Comparing Two Approaches to Removing Formats and Informats in SAS When working with SAS datasets, there are times when you need to remove formats and informats that have been previously assigned to variables. Two primary approaches can be used for this task: Using the DATA Step Using the PROC DATASETS Procedure This article compares and contrasts these two approaches to help you determine which method is most appropriate for your needs. Approach 1: Using the DATA Step The DATA step is a versatile and commonly used method for removing formats and informats. By assigning variables to a null format or informat, you can effectively remove these attributes from your dataset. Example: data mydata_clean; set mydata; format _all_; informat _all_; run; In this example, the mydata dataset is processed in the DATA step, and...

Studyday calculation ( --DY Variable in SDTM)

-
USE OF THE “STUDY DAY” VARIABLES The permissible Study Day variables (--DY, --STDY, and --ENDY) describe the relative day of the observation starting with the reference date as Day 1. They are determined by comparing the date portion of the respective date/time variables (--DTC, --STDTC, and --ENDTC) to the date portion of the Subject Reference Start Date (RFSTDTC from the Demographics domain). The Subject Reference Start Date (RFSTDTC) is designated as Study Day 1. The Study Day value is incremented by 1 for each date following RFSTDTC. Dates prior to RFSTDTC are decremented by 1, with the date preceding RFSTDTC designated as Study Day -1 (there is no Study Day 0). This algorithm for determining Study Day is consistent with how people typically describe sequential days relative to a fixed reference point, but creates problems if used for mathematical calculations because it does not allow for a Day 0. As such, Study Day is not suited for use in subsequent numerical computations...
