********************************************************************* UCSC Ext. SAS Programming for Clinical Trials, Jan. 20 – March 31, 2010
Course Description SAS is the primary software standard in the biopharmaceutical industry for the storage, management and manipulation of clinical data and its presentation to the FDA in clinical trials. Processing clinical data in FDA-regulated industries has specific requirements, which introduce unique challenges in comparison to working with data from other industries. This course prepares individuals with SAS programming experience to process clinical-trials data to meet the increasing demand for these skills in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. Through lecture and lab, participants learn about various aspects of SAS programming related to processing clinical data; understanding clinical-trial terminology; preparing data for submission using CDISC SDTM standards, tables, listings and figures for electronic submission; and managing regulatory considerations such as software-development life cycle and related documentation.
