XBIOM™ · MDR, Smart Transformer & eDV

One governed home for every standard and codelist

The XBIOM™ Metadata Repository rigorously applies all standards in its registry through the Smart Transformer, and validates every standard dataset with the eDataValidator.

MDR Ontology & Repository

Govern every standard and terminology codelist

A single registry for ontology and standards management, with the controls that keep stewardship and governance in the right hands at every step.

  • Role-Based Access Control for user management, authentication, authorization, permissioning, and workflow delegations of authority in standards governance and stewardship
  • Ontology viewers and editors for taxonomy (CTs) and standards (e.g. IG) management across de-jure and de-facto standards
  • Interfaces and APIs for enterprise and ex-enterprise integration, such as clinical data layer solutions and EDCs
  • Workflow configurators for maturation, phase-gated and tethered workflows, impact analysis, TA-level customization, validation and release
  • Dashboard configurators for use with each governance workflow

Smart Transformer

Map, transform, and load at any level

The Smart Transformer transforms data or metadata to load mapping libraries into the MDR registry, or to load data into the UDM Repository at a global, therapeutic-area, program, or study level.

  • Transform data or metadata to load mapping libraries into the MDR registry
  • Load data into the UDM Repository at global, TA, program, or study level
  • Export study data from UDM and the Data Services Layer, including analysis-ready metadata, to SDTM or ADaM
  • Associated tools for Define.xml, TS.XML and Trial Design editing

eDataValidator

Prove every model conforms to the standard

eDataValidator is a validator engine that tests and ensures any metadata model conforms to the standards and the conformance rules expected of such a standard. These checks can be extended to cover a client’s de-facto customized standards.

  • Tests that any metadata model conforms to its registered standard
  • Applies the conformance rules expected of each standard
  • Extensible to cover a client’s de-facto customized standards
  • Works in concert with the MDR registry and Smart Transformer outputs

Standards & terminology

De-jure and de-facto, in one registry

The MDR manages published industry standards alongside the customized standards your organization, CROs, and specialty labs work to every day.

De-jure standards

Published industry standards

Governed, versioned, and released to study teams as the authoritative source for clinical and nonclinical submissions.

CDISC SDTM ADaM CDASH Protocol Define.XML SAP SEND
De-facto standards

Your customized standards

Client, CRO, and specialty-lab standards and controlled terminologies are matured into the registry through the same governed workflows.

Client standards CRO standards Specialty Lab CTs Codelists TA customizations
Smart Transformer levels

Transform and load at the right scope

The Smart Transformer loads data into the UDM Repository at the level that fits your governance, from enterprise-wide down to a single study.

Global

Enterprise level

Apply standards and mapping libraries consistently across the entire organization.

TA

Therapeutic area

Customize transformations for the conventions of a specific therapeutic area.

Program

R&D program

Align data across the studies that make up a single research and development program.

Study

Study level

Transform and load data for an individual study, ready for export and submission.

Export study data from UDM and the Data Services Layer, including analysis-ready metadata, straight to SDTM or ADaM with associated authoring tools.
