What is the difference between SDTM and ADaM?

 Two important standards are supported by CDISC: SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) and ADaM. (Analysis Data Model). Although the adoption of CDISC standards may increase development costs, you can reduce those costs by choosing the appropriate technology and implementation strategy. SDTM and ADaM datasets in the adoption of CDISC standards not only simplifies procedures but also stimulates innovation, efficiency, betters data quality, reduces costs, and boosts predictability.

In comparison to SDTM and SEND, CDISC’s Analysis Data Model (ADaM) is a little different. Although the model is less prescriptive, it still comprises a core model and an implementation guide. Within specific limitations established by the model, more variables may be added. This provides a level of standardization that enables it to be easily understood by reviewers, while giving it the flexibility to be used for any type of study.

Nonclinical Digital Study Report (DSR) - PointCross

  The availability of the Nonclinical Digital Study Report (DSR) is an exciting development that has the promise of making SEND better, safer to use, and actually useful for analysis. DSR is available in machine-readable columnar tabulation, making it easy to use the same tools used to read CDISC ’s SEND. DSR retains the same data domains and terminology of observation and testnames as in the Study Report. DSR is a machine-readable companion to the published PDF Study Report. DSR includes all the required study metadata, trial design domains reflecting the protocol, and the summary tables in the study report. DSR also carries a digital extracts of the Study Director’s “Results and Conclusions” in machine-readable form. A complete DSR may also include the individual subject level findings. SEND is a CDISC standard for exchange of Nonclinical Study Data. In practice, SEND is almost always generated separate from the process that generates the Study Report, but using the same data c...

FDA SEND Dataset Services

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) requires SEND as a standard for nonclinical study data submission to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). SEND is a data standard mandate of CDISC  SDTM  standard for nonclinical studies and provides a framework to collect and present individual animal study data. PointCross works with several Sponsors’ and CROs to support in preparation of submission ready SEND datasets with Define.xml and nSDRG, at industry’s most competitive rate.
