CDISC GOALS
Nearly seamless exchange of data within a company,
between collaborating companies, and with regulatory
agencies – across protocols, companies and compounds
Effortless archiving of data and metadata for future
review or regulatory audit
Integration of data from a wide variety of applications
and systems
Facilitated reviews of regulatory submissions
Improvements in data quality; ‘cleaner data faster’
Implementation of
CDISC Standards
Study Data Information Model
3 main types of observations (data domains)
– Interventions, events, findings, and “other”
Interventions
– Are related to the therapeutic and experimental treatments (expanded
to include other ‘things’)
Events
– Observations from subjects on adverse reactions
Findings
– Evaluations/examinations to address specific questions (when in
doubt it’s a finding)

Core Variables: Definition
A required variable is any variable that is basic to the identification of a
data record (i.e., essential key identifiers and a topic variable that cannot
be null)
An expected variable is any variable necessary to make a record
meaningful in the context of a specific domain (variable should be
included); Some values may be null
Permissible variables should be used as appropriate when collected or
derived.
Any general timing variable not explicitly mentioned in a domain model is
permissible to be included
Only qualifier variables specified in a domain model are allowed for that
domain.

CDISC Implementation Application
(CApp)

CApp: Key Issues
Get Raw Dataset(s) Variable(s) information
automatically for CDISC Variable Mapping
Create .sas template for each CDISC dataset
Validate CDISC dataset structure
Keep CApp and .sas templates Synchronized to
automate the Mapping document generation.
