CDASH SAE Draft Standard is now Available for Public Review and Comment – Comments due June 5, 2013
The draft CDASH-SAE document is now available for public review. The draft CDASH Serious Adverse Event Addendum to CDASH version 1.1 expands the current Adverse Event (AE) domain to include data elements for the capture of serious adverse event information in an SAE Form and, when indicated, will also allow for the generation of an E2B message for reporting an Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) to Health Authorities.
FOR REVIEWERS: We ask you to review the draft document and record your comments using the public review comment tool on the CDISC website. The link below will take you to the public commenting tool and a list of documents, please choose the CDASH-SAE doc from the list and begin to record your comments.
Click here for instructions on how to use the public review commenting tool. Please return comments no later than June 5, 2013.
CDASH Version 1.1 was developed via CDISC’s consensus-based standards development process (see COP-001), which included comments from organizations in all three ICH regions (US, Europe and Japan). The standard describes the basic recommended data collection fields for 18 domains; these include common header fields, demographic, adverse events, and other safety domains that are common to all therapeutic areas and phases of clinical research. In addition, CDASH V 1.1 includes implementation guidelines and best practice recommendations, regulatory references and other information on the CDASH project.

CDASH User Guide
The CDASH User Guide (CDASH UG) is now available to CDISC members. The CDISC UG provides CDASH implementation examples, including CDASH to SDTM mappings, CDASH ODM files and a library of example CRFs that have been created in several different data collection systems, including paper examples. The CDASH team plans to update the CDASH UG with additional examples as they become available.

CDASH Team Projects
• CDASH Version 1.2 The CDASH team is currently working towards the publication of CDASH Version 1.2. This version will include minor updates and clarifications. We anticipate that this new version will be available in Q4 2012.
In addition, the CDASH Team has been working on a number of related and collaborative projects that include the development of new domains and associated documents for medical devices and therapeutic area CRFs. Following are short summaries about these CDISC projects:
• CDISC Device Standard
The CDISC Device team is comprised of members from the CDASH and SDS team and is working to develop the basic collection fields and the submission variables and mappings to support a majority of device studies. The Device team recently published draft SDTM constructs for public comment. Work on the collection aspects will commence as soon as the submission elements are agreed.
• CDISC Therapeutic Area CRFs The CDASH team is collaborating with other CDISC teams to develop therapeutic area (TA) specific CRFs to be used together with the safety CRFs described in the CDASH standard. Draft TA specific CRFs will be released for public review according to the CDISC consensus process.
• CDASH Serious Adverse Event Domain
This CDASH-E2B sub team is working to identify and describe the E2B basic data fields that are collected from investigative sites. This new Serious Event domain is intended to reduce the need for separate SAE reporting processes and the inevitable duplication of data collection that occurs between the SAE and clinical databases. The draft standard will be released for public review according to the CDISC consensus process.
• REDCap CDASH-CRFs The CDASH team also supports the development and review of a REDCap CDASH CRF library.
• CDASH User Guide team
The CDASH User Guide team will continue to add example CRFs and other implementation tools to the CDASH User Guide.
