As a clinical trial statistician or programmer, answer two short questions in Your review: the task and the inputs and outputs. Agreeing with both approves this benchmark; disagreeing with either needs a comment. Propose a fix with the Edit button on any source file, or add it to your comments.
We suggest spending no more than 5 minutes on a review. The other tabs beside Your review are background for assessment, not under review.
Summary
README.mdPublic entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.
Goal: carry the planned treatment (TRT01P) and the reason for
discontinuation from the study (DCSREAS) into ADSL for two submission
packages of one study, with the second package's data-definition document.
Input: spec.yaml reads one pre-analysis row per subject, and three
project files compose:
study/project.yamlholds what every package of the study shares: the study, its implementation guide, the vendor that prepared the metadata, the specification andstudy/codelists.yaml, the study's coded values;pilot3/project.yaml, the first package, names the study's project as its parent and adds only where its document is written;project.yaml, the second package, names the study's project as its parent too, lists the study's coded values and thencodelists.yaml, its own discontinuation reasons, and removes the vendor, since the sponsor submits this package itself.
Variables:
TRT01Pis the planned treatment, one of the study's coded values.DCSREASis the reason for discontinuation from the study.
Note: each package keeps every section of the study's project and changes only what it writes, field by field; a list it writes replaces the study's whole. A file the study's project names is read beside that project, so both packages build the one specification it lists. The second package's document cites the study and its guide from the study's project, decodes each reason as the package's coded values do, and names no originator.
