An activity plan is a schedule of events for a given cohort.  Activity Plans do not appear in CDSIC.  In ODM, there is the notion of a FormRef. However, this design doesn't fit well with ph1 trials where forms are commonly repeated for a given study event (ie many PKs in a given day). As such, FormRef is implicitly available by way of Scheduled Activities that are a part of a Segment / Activity Plan.

Notes

1

Study

Yes

This element collects static structural information about an individual study.  A study is related to a given clinical trial protocol.

2

Activity Plan

No

A schedule of events for a given cohort. Plans can be assigned to multiple cohorts. A timed plan must have a reference time in order to properly provide UI feedback as segments and scheduled activities are set.

Untimed Activity Plan:

  • Reference time must be null

  • Single segment; segment must be root and must have offset second set to zero


Timed Activity Plan:

  • Must have a reference time

  • Can have 1-n segments; always sort by offset seconds

  • Reference segment must have offset seconds of zero

Activity Plan fills the role of the FormRef in the ODM.

3

Segment

Partially

Holds a group of scheduled activities in an activity plan. The segment's offset seconds is essentially the time of the reference event.  All scheduled activities are relative to this.

Modeled somewhat off of CDISC SDM:

"Segments are often seen as the basic building blocks of study design. A segment usually specifies a combination of planned observations and interventions, which may or may not involve treatment, during a period of time."

4

Scheduled Activity

No

Wraps a form, but adds metadata including timing.

5

Form

Yes

A form is basically a container for item groups.

6

Study Event

Yes

A study event represents a given 'visit'. In phase 1 trials this will commonly simply refer to a 'day'. When scheduling forms for a given schedule, the builder must associate the study event. Note: there are common study events that are typically reserved for special events: unscheduled, common (AE, CM), etc

...

With this in mind, below is a view of how these elements relate to each other.

...

Note that form_data can have linkage to forms through scheduled activities or unscheduled.

ItemGroupData has an item_group_repeat_key which is used to track repeats.

Notes

1

form

Yes

Basically a container for item groups.

2

form_data

Yes

Form data represents data collected for a given subject. Instead of storing the scheduled time on this domain, we leverage the relationship to the encapsulated scheduledActivity domain and thus its relationship to the segment. We purposely don't set formRepeatKey in the domain. It is calculated later on when building ODM.

3

item_group

Yes

A collection of related items in a given form

4

item_group_ref

Yes

A given item group within a form definition.

5

item_group_data

Yes

Aggregates item data

6

item

Yes

Represents the definition of a piece of data collected.

7

item_ref

Yes

A given item within an item group definition.

8

item_data

Yes

A piece of collected data

9

study_event

Yes

A study event represents a given 'visit'. In phase 1 trials this will commonly simply refer to a 'day'. When scheduling forms for a given schedule, the builder must associate the study event. Note: there are common study events that are typically reserved for special events: unscheduled, common (AE, CM), etc

10

study_event_data

Yes

Clinical data for a study event (visit) for a given subject
