CDISC News
• General news – D. Rehn
• SDTM IG 3.1.2 – K. Hellstern
• CMDR BMBF Project – S. Semler
13
CDISC Metadata Repository (CMDR)Background
• Currently there are some sporadic, limited efforts at creating industry standard concepts and variables e.g. the joint NIH/CDISC tuberculosis standard
• Individual organizations (Pharma, CROs, institutions etc) typically use internal standards (i.e. standards developed within individual organizations) though – in clinical trial space - many are now moving to the use of SDTM and ADaM
• However, SDTM and ADaM do not provide a complete set of concepts and variables even for clinical research.
• As a consequence, the ability to aggregate data and to share data is limited as data have to be mapped to alternative standards. This impacts all organizations as well as impacting patient safety.
• The creation of the CMDR, populated with industry standard concepts and variables, will address the shortfall enabling rapid evaluation of drug safety across company boundaries, improving operational efficiency in the collection, processing and reporting of data and enhancing scientific capability due to the dramatic increase in data reuse capability.
14
CDISC Metadata Repository (CMDR)Overview
• The data collected in clinical care and in clinical research, as well as in pre-clinical research, can be captured and stored as a collection of concepts and variables.
• A concept provides a definition of a particular piece of information together with a link to the variables used to store the information.
• The CMDR is the repository of the definition of concepts and related variables – Concepts will be unambiguous as they inter-relate to context/other concepts through an
information model (e.g. BRIDG) and through abstract data types (HL7/ISO abstract data types)
– Variables will be unique (or there will be a "golden standard" variable to be used)
• The CMDR is based on linked/constrained controlled terminologies i.e. a findings like systolic blood pressure is related to body position, devices, target site....
• The CMDR will initially focus on clinical trial, epidemiology, HEOR and pharmacovigilance.
• In a second stage pre-clinical and research should be considered, as well as extension for medical devices and EHR integration
• Within Clinical trials, the CMDR will encompass safety and efficacy data together with CDISC trial design data
15
CDISC Metadata Repository (CMDR)Use case – Protocol/Scientist
• Dr Joe is the principal author of the protocol for a new study.• In the past he would have written the protocol on paper and had it reviewed
and approved before passing it to the data manager responsible for data collection and (e)CRF development.
• Today Dr Joe is working with a new tool – called eProtocol manager – which helps him to enter the protocol in a more formal way. The tool has a "template" for writing the protocol, and each part of the template has a degree of structure appropriate to that part.
• Wherever the content of the protocol refers to scientific concepts, protocol text is linked (either automatically or manually) with a well-defined concept with CMDR.
• The protocol tool produces a report on draft concepts, which will be submitted to the CMDR for validation and for linking to relevant data items.
• The protocol tool passes information on concepts and variables to the data manager and/or eCRF developer. Where Dr. Joe has not completely specified data collection, they complete the task.

v-LearningIntroduction
• CDISC is now offering training courses and conference proceedings in a virtual learning format.
• The virtual learning format - a computer based, web delivered - allows for students to learn at their own pace on their own schedule
– The sessions are available online for use on the student’s own desktop– Users gain access to interactive CDISC topics and courses– The course content is the same material which is taught in an instructor-led
classroom– Sessions contain audio and video demonstrations, self study workshops and
solutions
• V-Learning modules currently available:– CDISC Submission Readiness– Intro to CDISC– Intro to BRIDG– CDISC 2008 European Interchange conference
