  1. Control Your Life(test) George Hage Associate Director of Statistical Programming OSI Pharmaceuticals

  2. OSI • Mid-sized Biotech • Focused on the development of targeted therapies to treat cancer. • Our marketed compound is a cytostatic agent vs. cytotoxic. • Primary endpoint is generally survival, progression free survival, or time to progression vs. response rate. • Most often used statistical procedure is time-to-event analysis

  3. With ODS Why Develop a Macro? • ODS does produce better graphics straight out of the LIFETEST procedure • But we needed even more control to normalize plots and we needed a macro that was relatively easy to use for those who do not know SAS intimately

  4. Graphics: Need as much flexibility as we could program • Multiple lines per plot • Ability to export plotted data • Legends • Axes control • Title/Footnote • Device control • Censoring • As well as control over PROC LIFETEST

  5. Disclaimers • I am an old programmer and use old programming techniques…I am sure there are other ways of programming this • With flexibility comes many macro variables to define. I tried to default as many as I thought practical. • This was programmed for our shop, thus probably is not as robust as it can be.

  6. Macro Variables dsn Dataset used for lifetest (mandatory) filenm Path and filename for the desired output (mandatory) xlsnm Path and filename for the desired XLS file device Printer device (default - CGMOF971) vr Time to Event variable (mandatory) cens Time to Event Censor variable (mandatory) strat Stratification variable (mandatory) stratfmt Optional Stratification variable format anno Annotate dataset name titl Title of graph titl2 Title2 of graph t_ht Title font size in points
