SDTM Exposure dataset

SDTM Day 5: SDTM.EX

Introduction:

Exposure dataset contains the essence of subjects’ treatment information, it is one of the key safety datasets, and it is critical to efficacy analysis. The EX domain is intended for “protocol-specified study treatments” including placebo dosing. The EX dataset would present a complete and accurate of subjects’ exposure to the reviewers.

SDTM.EX dataset building steps:

1. Read in the Raw.EX data and derive the key variables.
2. Merge with SDTM.DM data for common variables
3. Merge with SDTM.SE data for Epoch
   4*.Compare with the production dataset

Key variables:

STUDYID, USUBJID, EXDOSE, EXDOSU, EXDOSFRQ, EPOCH, EXTRT, EXGRPID,EXROUTE, EXLOT, EXSTDTC, EXENDTC, EXSTDY, EXENDY, EXTPT

Key variables Derivation:

STUDYID, Study Identifier, Assigned Variable.

STUDYID="TF-001"

USUBJID, Unique Subject Identifier, Derived from raw.lb.SUBJID.

USUBJID=catx("-","TF-001",substr(SUBJID,1,5));

EPOCH, Derived Variable base on SDTM.SE(Subject Elements) Start and End Day

proc sql;
create table aeqc2 as
select a.*, b.epoch 
from aeqc1 as a left join se as b
on case when a.usubjid = b.usubjid and fl=. 
and b.sestdy <= a.aestdy < b.seendy then "a"
when a.usubjid=b.usubjid and fl=1 and 
b.sestdy <= a.aestdy <= b.seendy then "b"
end;
quit;

EXTRT, Name of Actual Treatment, CRF variable

if shtreat=1 then extrt='PLACEBO';
else if shtreat in (2,3) then  extrt='SAR302503';
if missing(extrt) and missing(exdose) and missing(exstdtc) then delete;

EXDOSE, Dose per Administration, Derived Variable

if armcd in("500MG"  "PL-400MG") then exdose = (actual dose)*100 
if armcd in("300MG") then exdose = ((actual dose)-1)*100
Note:Where (actual dose) is 0, exdose kept as 0\. Where (actual dose) is missing, exdose kept missing.

EXDOSU, Dose Units, Assigned Variable
EXDOSFRQ, Dosing Frequency per Interval
EXROUTE, Route of Administration

if _exdose ne . then do;
exdosu = "mg";
exdosfrq = "QD";
exroute = "ORAL";
end;
else do;
exdosu = "";
exdosfrq = " ";
exroute = "";
end;

EXGRPID, Group ID, eDT variable

exgrpid = strip(put(raw.subsetsn,best.));

EXLOT, Lot Number, CRF variable

exlot=raw.ex.exnb

EXSTDTC, Start Date/ Time of Treatment

exstdtc= raw.exstdtc

EXENDTC, End Date/Time of Treatment

exendtc= raw.exendtc

EXSTDY, Study Day of Start of Treatment

If (EXSTDTC < DM.RFSTDTC) then EXSTDY=EXSTDTC-DM.RFSTDTC;
Else if (EXSTDTC >= DM.RFSTDTC) then EXSTDY=(EXSTDTC-DM.RFSTDTC)+1.

EXENDY, Study Day of End of Treatment

 If (EXSTDTC < DM.RFSTDTC) then EXENDY=EXSTDTC-DM.RFSTDTC; 
Else if (EXSTDTC >= DM.RFSTDTC) then EXENDY=(EXSTDTC-DM.RFSTDTC)+1.

EXTPT, Planned Time Point Name, eDT variable

extpt=raw.extpt

EXSEQ, Sequence Number, Derived Variable.
The sequential number uniquely identifying the records within the domain by USUBJID and generated using the key sequence from the domain level metadata.

Data exseq;
set ex;
by usubjid ;
retain aeseq EXTRT EXSTDTC EXENDTC  EXTPT;
if first.usubjid then exseq=1;
else exseq=exseq+1;
run;
