Regulatory Background
1999, FDA guidance Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format NDAs
SAS XPT datasets Pdf documents: Define.pdf (data contents), blankcrf.pdf (annotated CRF) Case Report Tabulation (Patient Profiles) as pdf files
October 2005: FDA issued the guidance Providing Regulatory submissions in Electronic format using the eCTD specifications September 2006: FDA published in the Federal Register a notice of withdrawal of electronic submission guidance for eNDA.
This notice designates eCTD as preferred format for electronic submissions and notes that beginning Jan 2008 any electronic submission must be eCTD

Each domain has a unique two-character domain name (e.g., AE, CM, VS) Variables in domain begin with the domain prefix: (e.g., VSTESTCD) Domain structure: vertical Two categories of domains:
CDISC Standard Domains (spelled out in detail in the Implementation Guide). Custom Domains
Based on one of the General Observation Classes (findings, events, interventions) Basic variables are outlined in the SDTM Rules for creating these are in Section 2 of the IG
Events:
Occurrences or incidents independent of planned study evaluations occurring during the trial or prior to the trial One record per event Examples: medical history(MH), adverse events(AE)
Findings:
Observations resulting from planned evaluations One record per finding result or measurement Examples: lab data(LB), vital signs(VS)
Each of these has defined structures and variables. No new variables may be added to these domain classes

Expected: variables need to be in the domain Permissible: variables included in the domain as needed
CDISC
Identifier: identify the study, subject of the observation, the sequence number Topic: specify the focus of the observation (such as the name of the lab test) Timing: describe the timing of the observation (Visit, Start/End date, Days, Time Points, Duration) Qualifier: additional text or numeric values Rule: express an algorithm or method to define start, end or looping conditions in the Trial Design model
Date/time format
ISO 8601 is a text string YYYY-MM-DDT hh:mm:ss (not a SAS format) Has ability to handle incomplete date Example: December 15, 2003 13:14:17 2003-12-15T13:14:17 December 15, 2003 2003-12-15

October 2005, FDA Guidance for ICH eCommon Technical Document (eCTD) is updated. CDISC SDTM format is recommended for clinical data and define.xml for metadata

The CDISC SDTM is still the preferred data specification. It will become required data specification when the proposed rule is approved.

But dont expect it to be easy! Expect resistance e.g. whats wrong with my existing standard, we dont have time/resource Have answers ready for questions such as How long will it take? How much resource will be required? What is the cost of doing this? What are the cost savings if we implement this?
