For decades researchers and programmers have used SAS to analyze, summarize, and report clinical trial data. Now Chris Holland and Jack Shostak have written the first comprehensive book on applying clinical research data and metadata to the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) standards.

Implementing CDISC Using SAS: An End-to-End Guide is an all-inclusive guide on how to implement and analyze Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and Analysis Data Model (ADaM) data and prepare clinical trial data for regulatory submissions. Topics covered include creating and using metadata, developing conversion specifications, implementing and validating SDTM and ADaM data, determining solutions for legacy data conversions, and preparing data for regulatory submission. The book covers products such as Base SAS, SAS Clinical Data Integration, and the SAS Clinical Standards Toolkit, as well as JMP Clinical.

Anyone dealing with CDISC standards--including SAS or JMP programmers, statisticians, and data managers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device industries--will find the philosophical best practices and implementation examples in this book invaluable.

This book is part of the SAS Press program.

Review:

"Implementing CDISC Using SAS� lives up to its namesake as this truly is a book on implementation strategies. Intended for practitioners who want to move beyond the 'whys' of CDISC, this book does a marvelous job at helping bridge the gap between theory and practice. The authors set the stage to help people understand the context in which we find ourselves, including a nice treatment on the myriad models that CDISC has to offer, and then dive deeply into practical details that face those on the front lines. Combined with useful advice and working examples, this treatise on CDISC implementation will serve you well." --Greg Nelson, President and CEO, Thotwave Technologies, LLC.
