How To Accelerate & Improve the Quality of CDISC SDTM Deliverables: Design with the End in Mind

  • Thursday, December 01, 2022

Since the FDA passed regulations requiring submitted datasets to be compliant with the CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM), clinical trial sponsors have faced a dilemma. Should they design electronic case report forms (eCRFs) in line with SDTM from the outset? Or should they retrospectively convert data to CDISC SDTM at the end?

A retrospective approach is fraught with risk. What if some of the required data is missing? Will it be possible to retrofit datasets and terminology into the CDISC SDTM and NCI Controlled Terminology models? Will the submission be compliant?

This time-consuming data wrangling distracts resources from the important business of delivering a high quality submission package – before the deadline!

In this presentation, we discuss a ‘designing with the end in mind’ approach. This includes:

  1. Designing optimal data collection eCRFs which balance ease of data collection whilst aligning to SDTM and NCI CT requirements.
  2. Designing target SDTM datasets and mapping these to raw datasets upfront.

The big win?

With this approach, SDTM conversions can be done as soon as patient data is collected. Plus, conversions can be run throughout the trial, allowing clinicians to analyze and visualize data immediately, and make timely safety and efficacy decisions.

Now continuous quality monitoring during a study is possible. Coupled with the benefits of early data visibility, this will speed therapies to market faster than ever before.

Register for this webinar and hear from leading industry experts about designing studies with the end in mind — and how technology can be leveraged to facilitate this.

Want to design and build clinical trials faster with less effort? Now you can, with our new clinical metadata repository (CMDR) and automation cloud platform, ryze. We’ve automated manual, labor-intensive processes, and given you the tools to standardize study build and integrate 3rd party platforms.

Simply house your standards and study library in the central MDR, then easily find, manage, and reuse content. Even import content from EDCs and e-clinical systems into ryze. You can design studies for leading EDCs – and see exactly how forms look in ryze without having to build your study.

Instantly convert datasets to SDTM, and make submission deliverables with the click of a button. And all effortlessly in line with CDISC standards. ryze is built on CDISC compliant templates, so compliance is enforced throughout study build. Plus, ryze is a cloud-based off-the-shelf suite, so there’s zero install and it’s ready to go when you are!
