Clinical SAS Online Training
INTRODUCTION
The Process from discovering a new drug to registering it for marketing is very complex and lengthy. There are several people involved in the Process of drug discovery and development includes Scientists, Clinicians, Statisticians as well as Data managers and SAS Programmers. It is estimated that, on average, a drug takes 10-12 years from initial research to reach the market. Drug discovery and development are mainly carried out by pharmaceutical companies and research agencies. The pharmaceutical market is very competitive. It is imperative that pharmaceutical companies discover and develop drugs efficiently and within the shortest time span to remain competitive.
CDISC SDTM AND ADaM Online Training
INTRODUCTION
CDISC /SDTM fundamental model for organizing data collected in clinical trials.CDISC is a global, open, multidisciplinary, non-profit organization non profit that has established standards to support the acquisition, exchange, submission and archive of clinical research data and metadata.It is for “Good data management practices” are essential to the success of a trial because they help to ensure that the data collected is complete and accurate

What is CDISC ?
CDISC Concept of Observations, which consist of discrete pieces of information collected during a study described by a series of named variables. General Classes of Observations: Events, Findings, Interventions Variable Roles: determines the type of information conveyed by the variable about each distinct observation: Topic variables, Identifier variables, Timing variables, Rule variables, and Qualifiers (Grouping, Result, Synonym, Record, Variable) General principles and standards
CDISC SDTM’s fundamental model for organizing clinical data
The patient/subject focused information model of the clinical ‘reality’ (general classes of observations on subjects: interventions, findings, events). This model has been developed by CDISC/SDS team and exist today only as a text description

Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM): – The content standard for regulatory submission of case report form data tabulations from clinical research studies.
Analysis Data Model (ADaM): – The content standard for regulatory submission of analysis datasets and associated files.• Case Report Tabulation Data Definition Specification (CRTDDS) (define.xml)
The XML-based content and format standard referenced by the FDA as the specification for the data Definition for CDISC SDTM datasets. This standard, also known as define.xml,is an extension of the ODM.
