CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model SDTM Implementation Guide V3.1.1

Metadata Submission Guidelines, Appendix to the Study Data Tabulation Model Implementation Guide 3.1.1

The CDISC Submission Data Standards (SDS) Metadata Team has released a draft version of the Metadata Submission Guidelines, Appendix to the Study Data Tabulation Model Implementation Guide 3.1.1 for review. Included with the IG Appendix is a sample electronic submission that contains examples of CRF annotations, metadata associated with the submission domains, SDTM domains, and an example of a define.xml. The Appendix describes the sample submission and the steps that need to be taken to prepare the data for submission.

Please note that this Appendix refers to the SDTMIG version 3.1.1.  The Appendix will be published as final and updated to incorporate the review comments and reflect the features of the SDTMIG 3.1.2 after the comment period for both documents.

Trial Design Model Part 2 Status

The Trial Design Subteam of the SDS Team and PR Group released Part 2 of the Trial Design Model (TDM) for comment in October, 2005. TDM Part 2 adds functionality to describe the scheduling of Trial Activities such as assessments, interventions, and administrative actions. It also provides a new concept called Trial Arm Segments to describe trials with dissimilar Arms. The Trial Design Subteam is revising Part 2 in light of the comments received and other input, and a new release is planned for Q3 of 2006. The Trial Design team is also working on UML diagrams as part of the BRIDG Model, available at www.bridgproject.org.

CDISC SDTM Implementation Guide V3.1.1 Final

Version 3.1.1 (V3.1.1) of the CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model Implementation Guide: Human Clinical Trials has been released by the CDISC Submission Data Standards (SDS) Team. V3.1.1 is based upon Version 1.1 of the SDTM, which was posted in May, 2005. This newest version includes new features, corrections, clarifications, and examples, all of which are described in detail in Section 10.6 of the document. V3.1.1 also includes a new domain model for Protocol Deviations, which is posted separately. Although V3.1.1 represents the most current, approved version of the SDTMIG, the SDS Team will continue to work on providing additional examples to represent more complex data domains such as signs and symptoms, pharmacokinetic concentrations and parameters, and microbiology. In addition, the team plans to continue work on developing additional models and examples for intervention and event data that include both spontaneous and pre-specified treatments and terms. Comments on this released version can be posted through the CDISC Discussion Board at http://www.cdisc.org/discussions/discussions.html.
