The 2011 CDISC Interchange presented several key insights into clinical research data standards. While attendance was lower due to high admission fees, exhibitor participation was vibrant with innovative tools. Sessions included a mix of high-level presentations and panel discussions on topics such as global clinical networks and health systems. Notably, the FDA's commitment to CDISC was evident, with plans for fully standardized submissions by 2017 and guidance on using CDISC standards expected. Challenges remain, with only 25% of NDAs including CDISC data.

Strong FDA Participation • Clearly, FDA is completely committed to CDISC • Still driving the legacy data conversion project, plan to publish some of the experience with the conversion • FDA expects “fully standardized submissions” by 2017 • Committed to OpenCDISC for validation • When using standards in submission, discuss it as early as possible • CDER • Quality of clinical data is more critical than adherence to standard • Developing guidance on how to use CDISC standards – ETA late 2011 or early 2012 • (Only) 25% of active NDAs contain CDISC data (in 2010), so “non-standard” data is still a big challenge • CBER • Plan to provide more guidance - for example, a data standards plan, SOP for submissions, and a common issues document • Auditing SUPPQUAL and custom domains • Was looking for volunteer for SEND submissions
Current Focus and Future directions • Currently, Metadata is one of the hot topics: what is needed, how to collect, how to store, how to use, … • Aggregation of data for sharing and for mining (for example, CPATH for Alzheimer data) • Standards for therapeutic areas , 9 areas are under development • Extension of standards to devices, 6 new SDTM device domains in progress
