Data Monitoring for Clinical Trials • Double blind Randomised Controlled Trial • New drug/treatment versus a control • Previously tested in a small number of healthy volunteers or specially selected patients • DSMB – committee of independent clinical experts and a statistician • Regularly produce routine reports – safety and efficacy
Typical Data Monitoring Report • Baseline summary • Recruitment and Patient status • Adherence • Safety – adverse events • Efficacy – primary & secondary endpoints • Concomitant medications • Laboratory values, vital signs
Typical Data Monitoring Report • Stata programming can save vast amounts of time particularly when repeating analyses and production of routine reports
DemonstrationThe following tables were all produced directly from Stata using relatively simple user written Stata programs
