Technical support questions about SDTM standard and validation rules

August 16, 2019

I am puzzled about the FDA rule "SE0009 - Missing values for both --DTC and --DY variables".

Was this forgotten or is there an error in the FDA Excel and is it only applicable to SEND?

Rule SD2237 states "ACTARM does not equal ARM", and "A value for an Actual Arm (ACTARM) variable is expected to be equal to a value of an Arm (ARM) variable",

"For subjects who are randomized in treatment group but not treated, the planned arm variables (ARM and ARMCD) should be populated, but actual treatment arm variables (ACTARM and ACTARMCD) should be left blank".

I am using the variable MITSTDTL (Microscopic Examination Detail) to indicate differences between STAINING INTENSITY and STAINING EXTENSIVENESS. However, this variable is not included when evaluating for duplicate records in Pinnacle and therefore warning messages are generating. Should MITSTDTL not to included here?

Hi,

It is sometimes convenient, as a contractor, to run checks quickly for SDTM datasets with the new Community 3_0 without running in Enterprise, which requires creating project and study setup.  I expect the rules to be roughly consistent with Enterprise, if I'm using new Community version 3.0.

Hi Team,

Can you please provide an example for Difference in RFSTDTC and RFXSTDTC variables? Are both the variables same i.e first study drug exposure date? If not, in what situation will the dates differ?

Hello, I really enjoy looking through the config files to see what the warnings and error messages are expecting.  In the new version 3.0 of the software they are located in an odd location and don't pull up correctly as an xml file.

Current 3.0 location: P21_FOLDER\resources\app.asar.unpacked\components\lib\configs\1903.1
