Questions:

  1. Is screening considered visit 1, or is it to include the subject into the study? SDTM team agreed to change to VISIT 1 instead of SCREENING.
  2. Are these Real World Evidence (RWE) studies only or clinical trials?
  3. Should both endpoints be shown in one efficacy dataset or two? I will be showing 3 datasets.
  4. What is a good surface area to use for the child subject?
  5. Should i use Male and 6 years? please advise.

This example illustrates example analysis datasets for the following endpoints:

  • From CV domain
    • Percent change in ejection fraction over time
    • Decline in ejection fraction over a time period (yearly) grouped by a decline greater than 10.0%.
  • From the LB domain
    • Percent change in NTproBNP over a period of time (yearly).

Source Data

The SDTM examples used as the source data are from Section 2.1, Basic CMR tests - Systolic Function. The example datasets show visits 1 and 6 for one subject. The subject was enrolled in the study on 20-May-2021 and the study visits were every two months. Visit 1 represents the visit at day 1 of the study, and visit 6 represents the visit at month 12 of the study. The associated laboratory test, N-Terminal ProB-type Natriuretic Peptide, is used in conjunction with ejection fraction as a biomarker and is important for diagnosis and treatment. It is also used separately to identify the percent change over a period of time.

Analysis Datasets

The example analysis dataset includes treatment and demographic information drawn from the ADSL, defined in the Metadata Table below. In this example, only some of the required variables, plus important stratification variables from ADSL, are shown. One variable mentioned body surface area (BSA), can be computed and added to ADSL. However, since the subjects are children, the body surface area changes over time. Therefore, it would probably be better to have a separate dataset to represent this over time.

The table below shows the example analysis datasets and unique parameters for this example. The Subject Level Analysis Dataset (ADSL)  is a necessary component in the creation process of subsequent analysis datasets for human trials. The ADSL incorporates demographics, treatment groups, study dates, and stratification variables. In this example, the ADSL is not illustrated, but serves as a source for standard ADaM variables. Additional information can be found in Section 2.3.1 of the ADaM Implementation Guide (ADaMIG) v1.3.

The ADCVEF dataset includes tests pertinent to this analysis, those for which CVTESTCD is equal to "LVEF_C" or "RVEF_C". The relationship dataset RELREC illustrates the relationship between datasets. 

The ADCVNTRP dataset is a subset of the Laboratory Results (LB) SDTM dataset, for which LBTESTCD is equal to "BNPPRONT". In this case, many lab draws may occur throughout the year, but only those linked to a specific visit are included. By subsetting the LB dataset with LBLNKID not missing, laboratory data that aligns with CV data can be filtered out and sorted using USUBJID and VISIT. If LBLNKID is not available, a windowing strategy could be used to select the laboratory draw closest to that visit for merging with CV, computed in AVISIT.

ADCMRI is an efficacy analysis dataset with only a few records for more complex modeling of changes in ejection fraction, plus the ProB-type test results. It is an ADaM Basic Data Structure (BDS) dataset, with additional variables added from ADCVEF.

Analysis Datasets

The subsequent section provides the data structures for the example ADaM datasets. In this example, columns for derived variables BASE, CHG, PCHG and CHGCAT1 have been added to facilitate analyses of the efficacy endpoints. Specifically, example demographic data for ADSL were created for an 8 year old male. Also, a custom variable for BSA at baseline (BSABASE), was added from ADSL.

Example 2 

The dataset above can also be set up to provide multivariate analyses by taking the lab tests of interest, transposing and merging with the ADCVNTPP dataset. In that case, the records from LB are not needed as a row.

The variables transposed and merged to the rows created from CV are:

Ejection Fraction

  • change in ejection fraction, would expect a decline in EF 2-3% per year, would prefer an improvement or no change. Concerning if rapid progression, 10% decline or more, for example.

NTproBNP

  • % change over a period of time – a decrease would mean improvement, annually is appropriate
