Recently I did for my personal project some research on Clinovo’s open source application, CDISC Express, a SAS application based on Excel framework designed to map clinical data to CDISC SDTM domains automatically. Not perfect yet, but it is easily understandable and practically usable after few hours’ of exploration of user guide. And most important, […]
This weekend I tested an application that can automatically transform clinical data to CDISC SDTM compliant datasets(3.1.1 and 3.1.2), CDISC Express of Clinovo. According to its license statements, you can download it for free and for personal use only.
The core of CDISC Express is an Excel configuration file called Mapping File which defines all the […]
