- Definition:
- The Exposure (EX) domain model records the details of a subject's administered dose of protocol-specified study treatment. "Study treatment" may be any intervention that is prospectively defined as a test material within a study, and is typically, but not always, administered to the subject. Examples include but are not limited to placebo, active comparators, and investigational products. Only protocol-specified treatments should be included in this domain.
- This domain should contain 1 record per constant dosing interval per subject per administration site (as identified in FOCID). A constant dosing interval is sponsor-defined and represents a specific period of time during which a subject was treated with a specific lot at a constant dose level. For example, for a study with once-a-week administration of a standard dose for 6 weeks, the administered dose may be represented with a single record per subject, spanning the entire treatment phase. Alternatively, a separate entry can be made for each treatment administration and for any deviations in treatment that occur. For this example, there could be up to 6 records (one for each weekly administration).
- Either USUBJID or POOLID must be populated.
- Treatment description:
- EXTRT captures the name of the administered treatment. Because EXTRT is the topic variable, it is required and must have a value. EXTRT should include only the treatment name and should not include dosage, formulation, or other qualifying information. For example, "ASPIRIN 100 mg TABLET" is not a valid value for EXTRT. This example should be expressed as EXTRT= "ASPIRIN," EXDOSE= "100," EXDOSU= "mg," and EXDOSFRM= "TABLET".
- A single control for multiple compounds should contain values separated with a pipe/vertical bar (|).
- If a subject is treated sequentially with different lots, then a new record must be created for each lot number given.
- EXDOSE: The sponsor's data definition file should indicate whether the values in EXDOSE represent intended or actual dose levels.
- Timing variables: The timing of dosing of study treatment is captured by the start/end date and start/end time of each constant-dosing interval. The sponsor defines the dosing interval.
- Other additional qualifiers from the SDTM Interventions class may be added to this domain.
