Package 'eudract' reference manual

Title:	Creates Safety Results Summary in XML to Upload to EudraCT, or ClinicalTrials.gov
Description:	The remit of the European Clinical Trials Data Base (EudraCT <https://eudract.ema.europa.eu/> ), or ClinicalTrials.gov <https://clinicaltrials.gov/>, is to provide open access to summaries of all registered clinical trial results; thus aiming to prevent non-reporting of negative results and provide open-access to results to inform future research. The amount of information required and the format of the results, however, imposes a large extra workload at the end of studies on clinical trial units. In particular, the adverse-event-reporting component requires entering: each unique combination of treatment group and safety event; for every such event above, a further 4 pieces of information (body system, number of occurrences, number of subjects, number exposed) for non-serious events, plus an extra three pieces of data for serious adverse events (numbers of causally related events, deaths, causally related deaths). This package prepares the required statistics needed by EudraCT and formats them into the precise requirements to directly upload an XML file into the web portal, with no further data entry by hand.

  reference = safety$GROUP$title[1],
  size = 95,
  digits = 3,
  valid_estimates = TRUE
)

order_filter(rel_risk, threshold = 10)

Arguments

`safety`	an object created by `safety_summary`
`type`	a choice of "non_serious" (default) or "serious" as to which type of AE to report on
`reference`	character vector naming the reference arm for the calculations. Defaults to the first row of the safety$GROUP.
`size`	a number between 0-100, giving the size of the confidence interval. Default is 95.
`digits`	integer giving the number of significant figures to report to. Default of 3.
`valid_estimates`	a logical, which determines if only terms with valid estimates of relative risk are included in the table. The alternative is to include terms with zeroes.
`rel_risk`	a relative risk object
`threshold`	a threshold on the percent scale, the max percentage for a term the incidence rate needs to exceed

Value

relative_risk returns of list of four items.

"relative_risk" a data.frame that has the relative risk estimate and confidence intervals.
"percentage" a data.frame with absolute percentages.
"GROUP" a copy from the original safety_summary object.
"reference" naming the reference group used to calculate relative risks

No adjustment made to deal with zeroes. This is suitable input for the dot_plot function, and in most cases will not be used directly, but may potentially be modified with filtration, or editing of terms, see order_filter.

relative_risk_table returns a data frame that is suitable for printing to a report, giving relative risks

order_filter returns a revised relative risk object, with the terms concatenated with SOC if there are any duplicates, then ordered by relative risk, into a factor, and filtered to only those terms with an incidence rate above the threshold.

Examples

safety_statistics <- safety_summary(safety,
           exposed=c("Experimental"=60,"Control"=67))
head( relative_risk(safety_statistics, type="serious") )
relative_risk_table(safety_statistics, type="serious")
rr <- relative_risk(safety_statistics)
rr2 <- order_filter(rr, threshold=2)
dot_plot(rr2)
safety_statistics <- safety_summary(safety,
           exposed=c("Experimental"=60,"Control"=67))
head( relative_risk(safety_statistics, type="serious") )
relative_risk_table(safety_statistics, type="serious")
rr <- relative_risk(safety_statistics)
rr2 <- order_filter(rr, threshold=2)
dot_plot(rr2)

Example of safety data

Description

A dataset containing some example data of safety event in raw source format

Usage

safety
safety

Format

a data frame with 8 columns and 16 rows

pt: meddra preferred term code
subjid: a unique subject identifier
related: a logical indicating if the event is related to the treatment
soc: the meddra code for the System Organ Class
fatal: a numerical 0/1 to indicate if the event was fatal
serious: a numerical 0/1 to indicate if the event was serious
group: the treatment group for the subject
term: a text description of the event. Needs to be matching 1-1 with the pt code

Details

The data contains one row per patient-event. So the numbers exposed in each arm cannot be inferred from these data, as patients with no events will not be included in these data.

The variable names and formats are those required by safety_summary. The variable pt is not strictly required. An alternative to soc would be the equivalent character string from soc_code

Calculate frequency tables from a rectangular data frame with one row per subject-event

Description

Calculate frequency tables from a rectangular data frame with one row per subject-event

Usage

safety_summary(
  data,
  exposed,
  excess_deaths = 0,
  freq_threshold = 0,
  soc_index = c("meddra", "soc_term"),
  na.action = na.fail
)
safety_summary(
  data,
  exposed,
  excess_deaths = 0,
  freq_threshold = 0,
  soc_index = c("meddra", "soc_term"),
  na.action = na.fail
)

Arguments

`data`	a data set containing the following columns: `subjid, term, soc, serious, related, fatal, group`. See `safety` for more details.
`exposed`	a numeric vector giving the numbers of subjects exposed in each group. This needs to be supplied directly by the user, and cannot be inferred from the input `data` with one row per patient-event. To ensure the ordering is correct either, name the vector with names matching the values in `data$group`, or ensure that the data$group is an ordered factor, or relying on alphabetical ordering of the values in `data$group`
`excess_deaths`	a numeric vector giving the number of extra deaths not reported within `data`. Defaults to 0.
`freq_threshold`	a value on a percentage scale at which to remove events if the incidence falls below. Defaults to 0
`soc_index`	a character vector either "meddra" or "soc_term", which is used to identify if the soc variable in data gives the numerical meddra code or the description in English.
`na.action`	a function that indicates what should happen if the data contain missing values. The default is `na.fail` as both repositories will not accept any missing values in the upload. Alternatives could be `na.omit`, `na.exclude`, or `na.pass`.

Value

a list of three dataframes: GROUP, SERIOUS, NON_SERIOUS. Each contains the summary statistics required by EudraCT, and is suitable for export.

Examples

safety_statistics <- safety_summary(safety,
                                    exposed=c("Experimental"=60,"Control"=67))
