These are questions to do with CDISC data modelling, nothing to do with SAS at all.  Please use the appropriate CDISC forum.

what is the purpose of DMDTC in sdtm 

I want know what is randomization number is it present or not ??.

difference between RFSDTC & RFXSDTC

 

/***********************************************************************************************************************/

1)  DMDTC : DMDTC is USUALLY the date when Demographic information collected on CRF.

 

2)   Randomization Number you may find many times, which is also known as RANDSEQ or Randomization Sequence No. or Keycode

       Here's Good Example: 

 

       Rawdata.Demog

        SUBJID  KEYCODE   AGE  SEX

         001          2101           38      M  

         002          2202           29      F 

         003          2101           24      F 

 

        Rawdata.Keycode

          KEYCODE      ASSINGED DRUG  

            2101             ZXP-009

            2202             PFZ-9220 

 

        SDTM.DM

 

        SUBJID  KEYCODE   AGE  SEX    ASSINGED DRUG

 

          001          2101           38      M        ZXP-009 

         002          2202           29       F          PFZ-9220 

         003          2101           24       F          ZXP-009

 

3) RFXSTDTC vs RFSTDTC 

 

a) RFXSTDTC : Reference exposure start date when ANY drug is started to given to subject, in many trials you may find Placebo (blinded) is given in Run-in phase and after day 1 Treatment starts (main drug/placebo),in this case start date of placebo in Run-in period.

 

b) RFSTDTC : Usually this date is Refrence period start date (means analysis time period) after first date of main dose. DAY 1 or first treatment date, 

 

I hope it helps you.

Please let me know if someone thinks this is not correct. 

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

for instance :

 

 

 

Parallel design : 

 

                                      |-----------------------> SUBJECT:101 DRUG : A (RFSTDTC) (09/25/2018)

                                      |

DRUG X -----------------|

(RFXSTDTC)                  |

 (09/23/2018)                 |-----------------------> SUBJECT:102  DRUG : B  (RFSTDTC)  (09/25/2018)

SUBJECT :101,102

 

* In the above example, Drug X is given for both subjects (101,102) for 2 days, after they randomized to drug A , Drug B as per study design. 

 

* Please find A screen shot from SDTM Implementation Guide. 

 

* RFXSDTC : Any protocol specified drug date and /or earliest drug exposure date (DRUG X - Can be placebo or cleaning medication or anything it depends ) 

 

*RFSTDTC : Subject first exposed to study treatment (Main drug : DRUG A ,DRUG B) . 

 

* This is what I interpreting from IG which make sense to me but this can be wrong. Please ask some expert advisor for more clarity on this. 

 

/******************************************************************************************************************************************/

 

It usually never happens but for instance, Subject 101 ,Let's carry forward previous example, assign to "DRUG X + DRUG A" but by mistake he/she got "DRUG X + DRUG B" bottle. OR  Subject 103 ( I put new subject for example)  is screen failure due to some reason ( not show up at clinic after randomization). We assign him/her to get Drug X + Drug B but he/she Screen Failure. so Now this we can 

put like this : 

 

 

SUBJNO   ARM                           ARMCD             ACTARM                       ACTARMCD

101          Drug X + Drug A           XA                     Drug X + Drug B            XB

102          Drug X + Drug B           XB                     Drug X + Drug B           XB

103          Drug X + Drug B           XB                     Screen Failure              SCRNFAIL

As above, this is CDISC modelling questions, not SAS related.  Refer to the CDISC forums:

Respected @RW9 ,

 

 

I will assure you to not give answers for CDISC model here but question asked by novice users that's why explained,

I totally agree this is not right place to ask CDISC questions.

Please do not tag additional questions onto old questions.

Also note this forum is for SAS programming, not discussions of CDISC modelling.
