Data Management Center (DMC) Stan Azen PhD – Director Carolee Winstein PhD, PT, FAPTA – Principal Investigator James Baurley – DMC Representative
Overview: • PART I - Data Management Center • PART II - PTClinResNet Website • PART III - Development Process • PART IV - Structure of DMSC Report • PART V - Project Management • PART VI - Future Plans
PART I - Data Management Center • Organization of the DMC • Responsibilities of the DMC
Organization of the DMC Coordinators • Stan Azen PhD • Carolee Winstein PhD • Samantha Underwood & Patricia Pate Informatics Team • James Baurley • George Martinez • Mike Hutchinson Statistical Analysis Team • Carolyn Ervin PhD • Tingting Ge
Organization of the DMC Data Entry Team • Chris Hahn • JoAnne de los Reyes • Frances Chien • Karina Kunder • Jason Villareal
Responsibilities of the DMC • Finalized the four study protocols with regard to design issues, sample size requirements, statistical analysis methods. • Developed the PTClinResNet website • Defined and built the public and secure sections • Organized the network into a user friendly interface
Responsibilities of the DMC • Designed and implemented study databases and web-based data entry application • Developed the randomization procedures • Developed a prototype template for reporting progress and safety information to the Data Monitoring Safety Committee (DMSC) • Statistical analyses, quality control and reporting
PART II - PTClinResNet Website • Located at: • http://pt.usc.edu/clinresnet • Features of • Public Website • Secure Website • Example - Reports Availability • Document Management • Example - Request for Documents
Features of Public Website • Overview of network and study information • Background and responsibilities of key personnel • News items, conference information and announcements • Information for potential study participants
Features of Secure Website • Manual of Procedures for each study • Reports to the Steering Committee and PT Foundation • Minutes of conference calls with Study Investigators • Recruitment Status • Reports to the Data Monitoring and Safety Committee
Document Management System • Manages PTClinResNet documents. • Designed to limit read and write access to documents based on user groups. • Interested researchers can request access. • Currently in development by Statistical Consultation and Research Center.
PART III – CLINICAL TRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS • OVERVIEW • MANUAL OF PROCEDURES (MOP) • DATA ACQUISITION DESIGN • IMPLEMENTATION • DATA ENTRY AND QUALITY CONTROL • DATA ANALYSIS • DATABASE STATISTICS
MANUAL OF PROCEDURES (MOP) • Provides a central document for the procedures of a clinical study • Specific Aims • Relevant scientific rationale • Study design and statistical methods • Procedures (randomization, data management, standardization, test administration, protection of subjects, etc.)
DATA ACQUISITION DESIGN INSTRUMENTS Designed for accurate and complete data collection DATA DICTIONARY A data structure that stores metadata, i.e., a code book containing information about the data being collected. The data dictionary includes the variable name, data type, allowable and missing codes, value ranges, algorithms, and dataset and version information.
DATA ACQUISITION DESIGN • Created data collection forms in collaboration with investigators • Developed multi-study forms and study-specific forms • Multi-study forms utilize common data definitions (variable names and codes) • Developed system for creating unique study and site-specific patient identification numbers • Developed “allowable” and “missing” coding system for all variables
DATA ACQUISITION DESIGN • Create Data Dictionaries in collaboration with investigators. Data Dictionary fields include: • variable name • data type (numeric, date, character), • allowable and missing codes • range • field length • whether the variable is required • question as it appears on the form • versioning • dataset name
IMPLEMENTATION • Requirements for building physical database: • Final version of data collection forms • Final version of data dictionary • Final version of “business rules” • Properties of database: • Security and menu-navigation, automated range checking, and auditing of users and changes in data values • Training • Manual for data entry • Available on website
System Accessibility • Designated users for data entry and statistical analysis • Customized security of research datasets, studies, and sites • Research data restricted for blinded evaluators prior to trial completion.
Data Entry Process • Develop log sheet to track data. • Includes dates of collection, data entry, data checking, data entry corrections. • Maintains identifier of tracking personnel • Data : • Form received and logged • Form filed in locked filing cabinets • Entered into SCRC data entry system • Checked by comparing original data form to the data completeness report • Corrected data entered
Quality Control Procedures • Certification of evaluators • Range and coding checks built into the data entry system • Cross-sectional and longitudinal quality control checks at the SAS level • Data completeness report
Data completeness/ quality reports Example – MUSSEL Education Form Data
DATA ANALYSIS • ODBC-Compliant statistical packages (SAS, SPSS, STATA) allow real time access to the study data and data dictionary. • Permits powerful control over data using Structured Query Language (SQL)
Database Statistics - June 2005 • 2202 Variables • 92 Shared • 398 STEPS specific • 478 MUSSEL specific • 557 STOMPS specific • 677 PEDALS specific • 62 Datasets
PART IV - Structure of DMSC Report DMSC Reporting • Summary of Study Design • Objective • Subjects • Sample Size • Treatments • Follow-up • Endpoints – Primary & Secondary • Summary of Analytic Plan
Structure of DMSC Report DMSC Reporting • Summary of Progress and Results Example - PEDALS • Screening Trial Profile • Total Subject Enrollment by Month of Study • Primary Reasons for Ineligibility or Refusal • Summary of Enrollment by Strata • Baseline Demographics • Compliance - Intervention • Summary of Clinical Events
Study Profile PEDALS Screening Trial Profile
Primary Reasons for Ineligibility or Refusal Example - PEDALS
Recruitment Status PEDALS - Total Subject Enrollment by Month of Study
Baseline Characteristics PEDALS Baseline Demographics *Mean for continuous variables; frequency (%) for categorical variables
