Concomitant Medication (CM,FACM)

The Concomitant Medication (CM) domain is based on the Interventions General Observation class. The CM domain is used to represent information relating to concomitant and prior medications used by the subject, such as those given on an as-needed basis or condition-appropriate medications. The same basic data collection variables should be collected for all medications, treatments, and therapies (prior, general concomitant medications, and medications of interest). Reacreational substances are not represented in this domain (see Section 3.3.2.7,  Prior Usage of Recreational Products (Including Tobacco Products). However, medical products recognized to reduce nicotine dependence would be represented in this domain (e.g., Nicotine replacement patches).   

Example

This is an example CRF used to collect general concomitant medications/products in a study. This CRF was designed to allow the applicant to use either CMENRF or CMENRTPT to represent an intervention was ongoing. In order to save space, some of the example permissible values are only shown in the metadata specifications.

This is the metadata specifications for Section 1 and 2 of the CRF.

Rows 1-4:	The subject reported each instance of aspirin use. The frequency of each instance is represented in CMDOSFRQ and is ONCE.
Rows 6-8:	The subject reports the use of 3 medications. Diovan and Zoloft were still being taken by the subject, Astelin was a nasal spray where 2 sprays were taken twice a day in each nostril. Note that only partial start dates are provided for Diovan and Zoloft.
Row 9:	The subject took aspirin with a frequency of "PRN". This approach assumes that knowing exactly when aspirin was used is not important for evaluating the product in this study.

Example

In this example, the sponsor collected information on previous medically recognized products used to reduce nicotine dependency at the baseline visit. The sponsor only collected details on the last attempt to reduce nicotine dependency for each type of product used. These products are represented in the Concomitant Medication (CM) domain.

xx.xpt

Rows 1, 3, 7, 9:

Show whether the subject has used any medications to help with nicotine dependence. This was prespecified on the CRF, hence CMPRESP="Y". The applicant assigned CMTRT to "DRUG USED IN NICOTINE DEPENDENCE" which was the category name in an external dictionary.

Rows 2, 4, 5, 6, 8:

Show the various medications that were used by subjects. CMSCAT is used to indicate that these data are associated with the last attempted use. CMDUR is the collected duration of the product use. This is used only if collected on the CRF and not derived from start and end date/times. CMDUR is provided using ISO 8601 duration notation. CMPRESP is null since the specific medication used is not prespecified.

Example

This example is an additional example of data collected on the previous use of smoking cessation products at the baseline visit.  This example illustrates the use of CMOCCUR and CMPRESP. The reason why a product was discontinued and any use in the last 14 days was of interest.  

 

This example CRF has 2 sections: Questions in the first section focus on whether any smoking cessation product has been used, and the questions in the second section collect each individual product used. In order to save space, some of the permissible values are only shown in the metadata specifications.

This is the SDTM date for the data collected above. In this example, the applicant only represented whether the product was used in the last 14 days. CMPRESP was populated by the applicant for all pre-specified products. Medication specified as "OTHER" were not considered prespecified.   

cm.xpt

Row 1:	Shows the subject reported they had not previously used any smoking cessation product ( CMOCCUR ="N") . CMPRESP was included to indicate that the use of smoking cessation product was specifically asked on the CRF.
Rows 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17:	Show the subject reported they had used a smoking cessation product (CMOCCUR ="Y") . CMPRESP was included to indicate that the use of a smoking cessation product was specifically asked on the CRF.
Rows 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18:	Show the subject reported they had not used nicotine patches (CMOCCUR is "N"). Note: that all other rows for the products not used are not show for simplicity CMPRESP is used to represent that this product was pre-specified.
Rows 4, 7, 10, 13, 16:	Shows the subject reported using the product specified in CMTRT. CMENDTC indicates the last day the product was used. CMPRESP is used to represent that this product was pre-specified. CMOCCUR is Y. Subject ABC-0006 discontinued BUPROPION for an adverse event.
Row 19:	Shows the subject used natural supplement ABC for smoking cessation. Since this product was not specified on the CRF, CMPRESP is null.
