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?

Mayank Anand, INC Research

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.

Mukesh, Government of India

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.

Neha Srivastava & Gaurab Chakraborty, Chiltern

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.

Biography

Puja Kawle, Cytel

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

clinical domain. At Cytel, Puja has working experience in activities

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

the clinical programming arena for the last six and a half years.

SEND: A New Avenue for Data Standards15:00–15:30

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.

Biography
