CDER Common Data Standards Issues Document
Version 1.1 (Dec-2011) Updates regarding SDTM
• Implementation of Amendment 1 to SDTM 1.2 strongly preferred
• Subject Elements (SE) mandatory SDTM domain
• EPOCH in every subject-level domain
ELEMENT/ETCD desired but not requested
• SUPPAE.AETRTEM
• Splitting domains (> 1GB)
provide split domains in separate subdirectory SPLIT???
• File size considerations
use required maximum length of variableinstead of 200 for every character variable

CDER Common Data Standards Issues Document
FDA “Expected“ SDTM Variables
• Baseline flags (--BLFL) in findings domains
• Study day (-DY) for every -DTC
derived based on RFSTDTC
RFSTDTC = start of treatment in most study designs
• Death diagnosis or comments in pathology reports
SUBJID = Subject identifier used in Study Report
define.xml + define.pdf (printable version, no need for hyperlinks)
German Speaking CDISC UG Meeting - 20-Mar-2012 6
CDER Common Data Standards Issues Document
Version 1.1 Updates regarding ADaM
• Analysis Datasets should include
appropriate numeric time variables(e.g. with value 8 for “Week 8“)
basic demographic variables (e.g. sex)
all covariates named in the protocol
• Analysis datasets should be derivable from SDTM
To support traceability from results to collected data
Not new but important!
General Recommendation: Contact the FDA

How to create the define.pdf?
Always create a Reviewer‘s Guide?
• Per submission datasets folder(i.e., separate ones per set of SDTM or ADaM data)?
• Describing SDTM/ADaM and/or multiple studies together
• Contents?
OpenCDISC SDTM (/ADaM) validation
• Timing of compliance checks within the process?
• Describing/addressing issues
Define.xml schema validation/OpenCDISC define.xml validation
How to describe which SDTM versions and appendices are used?

Implementing Controlled Terminology (Updates)Excerpt from Draft Guidance: Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format - Standardized Study Data
(Feb-2012)“When planning a study (including the design of case report forms, data management systems, and statistical analysis plans), the sponsor should identify which FDA-supported standard terminologies to use for submission.
If a sponsor identifies a concept for which no standard term exists, we recommend that the sponsor submit the concept to the appropriate terminology maintenance organization as early as possible to have a new term added to the standard dictionary. We consider this good terminology management practice for any organization. The creation of custom terms for a submission is discouraged (i.e., so called extensible code lists)...“
