Abstract
The impetus for data standards is clear: standards provide
a common language and set of expectations that enable
interoperability between systems and/or devices. Standards
are documented agreements on representation, format, and
definition for common data. And in terms of clinical trials,
standards are a requirement of the regulatory authorities, which
provides a very strong impetus for implementation! But has
standardization to date delivered what we have expected? Has
the return on investment been delivered? Have we lost efficiency
and/or knowledge by implementing standards? Is the cost of
implementing standards underestimated?

Abstract
The advancement of technology led the pharmaceutical industry
to realize the inefficiencies in recreating processes and metadata
from scratch every time as well as the overlap in data elements
across studies. It was also observed that there are inconsistent
methods for collecting specific data elements that seem simple
on the surface. These nonstandard data, with extreme variability
and unpredictability of the format and content, present a major
obstacle to timely, consistent, and efficient review of data by
health authorities globally.
As a result, over the last decade the pharmaceutical industry
has attempted to work toward a common data standard, with
the goal of accelerating drug development by improving the data
collection, transformation, analysis, and submission process.
However, the efforts to define and adopt industry-wide standards
have their challenges in terms of quality, cost, and time.
This presentation will focus on the role of clinical data standards,
highlighting the benefits, stakeholders involved, challenges, and
the road forward. It will also cover how data management is
integrated into clinical data standard development.

Abstract
A study of sources of finance which households resort to
in order to meet the cost of being hospitalized may assist
policymakers working towards providing financial security
against hospitalization expenses to the masses. An attempt
has been made to study the sources of finance for hospitalized
treatment at an individual level based on criteria such as level
of living, socio-economic background and level of care in
India, both nationally and at State level. It has been found that
household income or savings are not sufficient to meet the cost
of hospitalized treatment and people have to borrow or arrange
finances by other means. Further, to analyze the “treatment with
regard to medical advice before and after hospitalization in India”,
the authors have used two approaches – descriptive and logistic
analyses – both at national level and also at State level. The
analyses reveal that a very high percentage of hospitalized family
members are not treated upon medical advice before being
hospitalized in India. However, an improved approach towards
treatment upon medical advice after hospitalization has been
observed.

Abstract
SDTM provides a standard for organizing and formatting data to
streamline processes in collection, management, analysis and
reporting. Implementing SDTM supports data aggregation and
warehousing; fosters mining and reuse; facilitates sharing; helps
perform due diligence and other important data review activities;
and improves the regulatory review and approval process. One
criticism of the SDTM standards is that they are continually
changing, with new versions released frequently. CDISC claims
that SDTM standards are backward compatible. According to
the CDISC SDS Team, CDISC standards evolve, as any standard
does. This presents a number of implementation challenges to
industry. A small change in SDTM could have a huge impact on
the ADaM (Analysis Database), Tables, Figures and Listings and
the Define package. This paper focusses on best practices for
Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) standards implementation
to gain efficiency and avoid rework in downstream steps.
Important considerations in SDTM conversion for both ongoing
and legacy studies will be discussed, as well as a list of common
issues and possible proactive measures which can be taken at
each step of SDTM mapping.

Abstract
Over the past decade pharmaceutical companies and regulatory
agencies have been laying emphasis on optimizing the need for
data standards across the industry.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched a
multilayer initiative called the Therapeutic Area Standards
Initiative Project Plan, to provide guidance on the development
and implementation of therapeutic area standards. It explains
the collaborative development and testing approach of the TA
standards and provides guidance to industry. This Initiative also
unveils some of the common risks faced during the development
of TA standards and the risk mitigation strategies implemented
by the governance body.
As per this Initiative, the key therapeutic areas have been
identified, and specific standards have been developed and
documented in the respective Therapeutic Area User Guide
(TAUG). The TAUGs explain the most common data needed
specific to the indication; they provide examples of the endpoints
and their representation in form of the SAS datasets and they
also capture the concept map about how a subject is treated
when it meets a certain endpoint.
These therapeutic area standards, if implemented appropriately,
will ease the reporting of therapeutic area specific elements.
These standards can also aid in standardizing the designing of
eCRF for these specific elements and hence cover the gaps for a
successful clinical trial life cycle.

Abstract
The Clinical Data Standards Initiative, in collaboration with
CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium), aims
to develop industry-wide data standards in priority Therapeutic
Areas (TAs) to support the exchange and submission of clinical
research and metadata, while improving patient safety and
outcomes. Data standardization enables more consistent data
collection in clinical studies, leading to more efficient studies
with higher quality data, which ultimately leads to improved
knowledge about safety and efficacy of the compound, thereby
facilitating the demonstration of traceability of data and enabling
more efficient regulatory review. Further, the accuracy in data
standardization plays a key role between the data collection and
the data analysis. There are various programming quality checks
through which the standardization can be streamlined to increase
the accuracy of the collected data, such as “Listing subjects
with more gap {i.e. more than 5 days} between planned visit day
(VISITDY) and actual assessment day (XXDY)” and “Improved
mapping techniques for external data”. The Clinical Data
Standards Initiative therefore provides a foundation or platform
that will enable data aggregation, cross-study analysis and end-
to-end data flow, thus providing many benefits to stakeholders.

Abstract
In this paper, the author will share her experience about the
most common issues identified in metadata submissions, during
the JumpStart of any regulatory submission. The author will
further provide insights into handling these issues. Some of the
challenges faced while creating submission-ready metadata
documents will be discussed. Originally, when the FDA received
submission data, reviewers would spend a great deal of time
assessing the quality of the submitted data. Months were wasted
while reviewers completed data quality reviews and sent data
back to sponsors for correction. To overcome these drawbacks,
in 2002, the FDA launched its first CDER 21st Century Review,
a six-step process for better and more efficient management
of the review process. One of the FDA’s primary goals was to
set up data standards, to facilitate an efficient and standardized
submission process. In December 2014, the FDA announced
electronic submission of future applications and conformance to
the CDISC data standards for study data submission. The FDA
has operationalized the JumpStart service to this effect. In the
initial stages of submission data review, DataFit assessments are
performed as part of the JumpStart service, using automated
analysis tools. This helps reviewers understand any data-
quality issues impacting their review process, way in advance,
consequently saving precious review time.
Biography
Puja Kawle has been a senior statistical programmer at Cytel
since June 2012 and has more than eight years’ experience in the

Arnab Goswami, QuintilesIMS
Abstract
A growing need for standardizing nonclinical data resulted in
the creation of SEND, the Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical
Data, by the FDA in early 2003; and the pilot project launched
in 2007. In the past few years, CDISC standards for clinical trial
data analysis, especially SDTM and ADaM, have rapidly evolved
and the pharmaceutical industry has gradually accepted these
standards because of regulatory mandate. Now, the US Food
and Drug Administration has made it mandatory for raw data of
toxicology animal studies started after December 18, 2016 to
support submission of new drugs to be submitted to the Agency
using SEND. The Japanese PMDA will implement the use of
SEND by 2020, and the EMA has also expressed their interest
in going in the same direction. As a result, a renewed interest
for SEND is gaining pace. To better comply with the regulators
and submission process, it would be absolutely necessary to
understand this standard well. For the same reason, demand for
experts in this field will grow fast, and a consulting service for
SEND is expected to generate new business for CROs and other
software service provider companies too.
Biography
Arnab Goswami is a seasoned professional with 10+ years’
experience in the life sciences industry, and has been working in

Krupali Ladani & Sangram Parbhane, doLoop Technologies
Abstract
CDISC-compliant clinical trial data submission is more of a
mandatory process, and highly recommended by regulatory
authorities. One of the required standards that sponsors must
submit for regulatory submissions is SDTM. SDTM represents
the collected data in specified format; however, this data is
not analysis-ready. That’s where ADaM comes into play. ADaM
– Analysis Data Model – defines the dataset and metadata
standard that supports creation of statistical analyses and
traceability of these analyses back to SDTM. It is often termed
that ADaM is complex and possesses too many composite
derivations; however, when we understand that ADaM is the key
for data analysis and important for justifying the entire clinical
trial, it no longer looks complex or lengthy and is worth spending
time on. As an ADaM SME or as an ADaM programmer, the
biggest challenge is where do I start? This question arises very
frequently regardless of your role in the CDISC ADaM life cycle.
This presentation will take you through ADaM basics and where
you start for:
ADaM Specification Development
ADaM Dataset Programming
ADaM QC Traceability from SDTM.

Abstract
The need of adherence to data standards has been understood
by many pharmaceutical companies. However, companies often
face challenges in making their best use. The data standards
proposed by CDISC have been widely accepted and hence
the challenges that companies face in implementing these
data standards are of grave importance. The author would
like to share their thoughts on what CDISC provides and what
pharmaceutical companies want to get their drug approval more
competitive through use of data standards. It is very important
to balance this equation as it is the foundation stone of clinical
data standardization and its optimization. This paper will discuss
how far the industry has come in optimizing the use of CDISC
data standards, what more can be achieved in this area and the
challenges faced in realizing them.
