Abstract:

The pharmaceutical industry is embracing CDISC as the standard of clinical trial process and ADaM is the part of the process that statisticians and clinical trial programmers is developing and using to analyze the clinical trial data. But, one can ask why ADaM? Why do we need to create ADaM? What are the benefits to use ADaM Data Structure? How can statisticians use them? The paper is intended for statisticians who are interested in ADaM and also have above questions. The paper will discuss the data structure of ADaM ADSL and ADaM BDS (Basic Data Structures). It will also discuss the role of ADaM in CDISC and its benefits in clinical trial. It will also discuss the roles of Clinical Trial SAS programmers and statisticians in ADaM (Usually, it depends on the company). The paper will provide the example of ADaM Data Set (Time to Event) and SAS codes that generate the final numbers in the analysis. The example will display how ADaM Data set is built and how it can be used in the analysis.
