In 2010, 23% of SDTM in NDA
In 2011, 39% of SDTM and 32% in ADaM in NDA
In 2013, 55% of SDTM in NDA

• Enhanced by Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) on July 9, 2012.
• Requires that submissions be submitted in electronic format.

Henry Ford Assembly Line
The Model T was Ford's first automobile mass produced on moving assembly lines with completely interchangeable STANDARDized parts. (Dec 1st, 1913)

Examples of Metadata Management• Creating new standards (e.g., variables and domains)• Modifying the attributes (e.g., label, type) of current
standards• Adding the new attributes to current standards• Archiving the standards• Managing the information that transforms data into a
new structure (e.g.: CDASH to SDTM)• Leveraging the Schedule of Events table to determine
the data domains required for a study• Assigning versions (e.g., major or minor) to standards
after changes• Maintaining multiple versions of standards (e.g.,
SDTMIG 3.1.2, 3.1.3)

• Database created to store metadata• Function
• Storages of Standards metadata in global library• Manage Standards metadata• Govern Standards metadata• Develop study-level metadata from global library• Feed metadata to other system(e.g., EDC and
ETL system)
