1.1 Subject disposition and key results

A total of 254 subjects were randomised and 254 received at least one dose of study drug. Of these, 110 subjects (43.3%) completed the 24-week treatment period.

At least one treatment-emergent adverse event was reported for 217 subjects (85.4%), and 98 subjects (38.6%) reported at least one dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event. Dermatologic events occurred earlier and more frequently in both xanomeline groups than in the placebo group, which is consistent with the transdermal route of administration.

No new safety signal was identified beyond the application-site and dermatologic events expected for this formulation.

2 Ethics and study administration

2.1 Independent ethics committee

The protocol, the informed consent form and all subject-facing material were reviewed and approved by the independent ethics committee or institutional review board responsible for each participating site before any subject was enrolled. Substantial amendments were submitted for approval before implementation.

2.2 Ethical conduct of the study

The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, the ICH guideline for Good Clinical Practice, and applicable local regulatory requirements.

2.4 Study administrative structure

Study conduct was overseen by the sponsor’s clinical development team, with data management, statistical programming and medical writing performed by the sponsor. Statistical analyses reported here were produced with the open-source R packages listed in Section 12.

3 Study objectives and design

3.1 Objectives

The primary objective was to characterise the dermatologic tolerability of the xanomeline transdermal therapeutic system over 24 weeks of treatment in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

The secondary objective was to describe the effect of xanomeline on vital signs, expressed as change from baseline in systolic blood pressure at week 24.

3.2 Overall design

The study was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study conducted at multiple sites. Eligible subjects were randomised in equal proportions to placebo, xanomeline low dose or xanomeline high dose, and were treated for 24 weeks.

Assessments were scheduled at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 26. Adverse events were collected throughout the treatment period and for 30 days after the last dose.

3.3 Selection of the study population

Subjects were eligible if they had a diagnosis of probable Alzheimer’s disease of mild to moderate severity, were able to comply with the visit schedule, and had a caregiver able to support study participation. Subjects with clinically significant dermatologic conditions at the application site were excluded.

3.4 Disposition of subjects

Screened n = 306 Randomised n = 254 Treated (safety population) n = 254 Completed the study n = 110 Not randomised n = 52 Not treated n = 0 Discontinued n = 144

4 Statistical methods

Analyses follow the statistical principles of ICH E9 (International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use 1998) and were pre-specified in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP), finalised before database lock. This chapter narrates the analyses the SAP specified; sections below cite the corresponding SAP section.

4.1 Analysis populations

The randomised population comprises all randomised subjects, analysed according to the treatment to which they were randomised; this is also the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, since every randomised subject received at least one dose of study drug (per SAP Section 3.1). The safety population comprises all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of study drug, analysed according to the treatment actually received (per SAP Section 3.2). The two populations therefore contain the same subjects but do not group them identically: planned and actual treatment differ for the subjects noted in the study patients chapter, so the randomised and safety group sizes differ even though the total does not. The per-protocol (PP) population comprises safety-population subjects who completed the study without discontinuing early; the only protocol deviation information available for this demonstration is discontinuation for protocol violation, and those subjects are already excluded as non-completers, so the PP population is approximated as safety-population completers (per SAP Section 3.3).

Population, disposition, baseline and efficacy outputs use the randomised population by planned treatment; safety outputs use the safety population by actual treatment. The primary endpoint is analysed on the ITT population, with a supportive analysis repeated on the PP population.

4.2 Primary endpoint

The primary endpoint is the time from first dose to the first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event, defined as an event with a system organ class of skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders that started on or after the first dose (per SAP Section 4.1). It is derived from adverse event data, so it is a safety endpoint analysed with efficacy methods; it is presented as the primary endpoint of this demonstration because the pilot data carry no efficacy measure. Subjects without such an event are censored at the last date known to be alive.

Time to event is summarised by treatment group with Kaplan-Meier estimates of the cumulative incidence, medians and two-sided 95% confidence intervals (Kaplan and Meier 1958). Treatment groups are compared with a Cox proportional hazards model with treatment as the only covariate, taking placebo as the reference group (Cox 1972) (per SAP Section 4.2). As a supportive analysis, the same Cox model is repeated on the per-protocol population to assess the sensitivity of the primary result to early discontinuation, and the treatment effect is further examined within sex and age-group subgroups (per SAP Section 4.3).

4.3 Secondary endpoint

Change from baseline in systolic blood pressure at week 24 is analysed with an analysis of covariance model including treatment group as a factor and the baseline value as a covariate (per SAP Section 5.2). Least-squares means, their standard errors, and two-sided 95% confidence intervals are reported for each treatment group, together with the difference from placebo. The secondary endpoint is descriptive, so the two comparisons against placebo are not adjusted for multiplicity. Blood pressure is measured in three postures, each with its own baseline; the analysis uses the supine measurement, so each subject contributes one observation.

4.4 Safety analyses

Adverse events are summarised by system organ class and preferred term, by maximum severity, by relationship to study drug, and separately for serious events (per SAP Section 6). Adverse event, concomitant medication and medical history tables report the terms reached by at least 5% of the subjects in any one treatment group; applying the threshold to the pooled population would hide a term concentrated in a single group. Laboratory, vital signs and electrocardiogram data are summarised as shifts from the baseline reference-range category to the worst post-baseline category, and laboratory data are additionally screened against the aminotransferase and bilirubin criteria for potential drug-induced liver injury.

4.5 Handling of missing data

No imputation is performed (per SAP Section 7). Analyses of continuous endpoints use the observed values at each visit, so the analysis of covariance at week 24 is restricted to the subjects with both a baseline and a week 24 value, and time-to-event analyses use the censoring rule stated above.

4.6 Software

All analyses were produced in R with the pharmaverse packages. Analysis data are the CDISC pilot ADaM datasets distributed in pharmaverseadam, with the time-to-event dataset derived using admiral and the reason for discontinuation taken from the SDTM disposition domain in pharmaversesdtm. Summary tables are computed with gtsummary, which retains the underlying Analysis Results Datasets, and rendered with gt. Each table, listing and figure sits in a Quarto cross-reference div, so every reference to it resolves; titles, populations, source notes and ICH E3 output numbers come from a single index, R/tlf-index.R, and the tlf-numbers.lua filter numbers each output with the ICH E3 number recorded there. Package versions are listed in Section 12.

Percentages use the number of randomised subjects in each treatment group as denominator. Every randomised subject received at least one dose of study drug, so the randomised, intention-to-treat and safety populations contain the same subjects; they are counted here under planned treatment, whereas safety outputs count them under actual treatment.

Every randomised subject received at least one dose of study drug, so the randomised, intention-to-treat and safety populations contain the same subjects. They are not interchangeable in the tables that follow: population tables and efficacy analyses count subjects under the treatment to which they were randomised, whereas safety analyses count them under the treatment actually received, and 12 subjects randomised to the high dose received the low dose instead.

1 n (%)
Percentages use the number of randomised subjects in each treatment group as denominator, except for the reasons for discontinuation, which use the number of subjects who discontinued in that group and therefore sum to 100%. Reasons come from the disposition domain; the pilot ADSL does not carry them.

144 subjects discontinued the study before the end of the treatment period, and 3 deaths were reported. The most frequent reason for discontinuation was adverse event, recorded for 92 of the 144 subjects who discontinued, and discontinuation was more frequent in the xanomeline groups than in the placebo group.

5.3 Protocol deviations

The pilot study underlying this demonstration ships no protocol deviation dataset, so deviations can be reported only where they ended a subject’s participation. 6 subjects discontinued for a protocol violation; they are listed in Listing 16.2.2.1. Deviations that did not lead to discontinuation cannot be counted here, so no statement is made about their number or their effect on the primary endpoint.

1 n (%)
Subjects reporting more than one condition within a body system or preferred term are counted once. Percentages use the number of randomised subjects in each treatment group as denominator. The primary diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is recorded for every subject and is excluded, since it is the indication rather than a medical history finding. The overall row and the rows for each class count every subject with a qualifying record, including subjects whose only terms fall below the reporting threshold and are therefore not shown.

Reported medical history was consistent with an elderly population and was distributed similarly across the treatment groups.

7 Primary and secondary endpoints

7.1 Primary endpoint: time to first dermatologic event

Table 14.2.1: Time to first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event. Intention-to-treat population.
Treatment group Subjects Subjects with an event Median time to event (days) Hazard ratio (95% CI) p-value
Placebo 86 20 (23.3%) Not reached Reference
Xanomeline Low Dose 84 39 (46.4%) 80 (55, NA) 2.98 (1.73, 5.13) <0.001
Xanomeline High Dose 84 39 (46.4%) 89 (50, NA) 3.34 (1.94, 5.75) <0.001
Medians and confidence intervals are Kaplan-Meier estimates. Hazard ratios come from a Cox proportional hazards model with planned treatment as the only covariate and placebo as the reference group. A median is reported as not reached where fewer than half the subjects in the group had an event.

0% 20% 40% 60% 0 50 100 150 200 Days since first dose Cumulative incidence Placebo Xanomeline Low Dose Xanomeline High Dose 86 70 56 50 0 84 40 22 17 0 84 36 17 16 0 Xanomeline High Dose Xanomeline Low Dose Placebo At Risk

Figure 14.2.1: Cumulative incidence of the first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event, intention-to-treat population.

Both xanomeline groups reached a higher cumulative incidence of dermatologic events than placebo, and the separation appeared within the first weeks of treatment. The hazard ratios in Table 14.2.1 quantify that difference; the confidence intervals exclude one for both dose groups.

2 subjects have a last date known to be alive that precedes their first dose in the source data, and are censored at day 1 rather than excluded, which is the behaviour of admiral::derive_param_tte(). They enter the risk set for the first day only, so their influence on the estimates is negligible without being nil.

7.1.1 Supportive analysis: per-protocol population

Table 14.2.1.1: Time to first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event (supportive analysis). Per-protocol population.
Treatment group Subjects Subjects with an event Median time to event (days) Hazard ratio (95% CI) p-value
Placebo 58 11 (19.0%) Not reached Reference
Xanomeline Low Dose 25 10 (40.0%) Not reached 2.65 (1.12, 6.23) 0.026
Xanomeline High Dose 27 15 (55.6%) 174 (46, NA) 3.87 (1.77, 8.43) <0.001
Medians and confidence intervals are Kaplan-Meier estimates. Hazard ratios come from a Cox proportional hazards model with planned treatment as the only covariate and placebo as the reference group. The per-protocol population is restricted to safety-population subjects who completed the study.

The per-protocol result in Table 14.2.1.1 is consistent in direction and magnitude with the intention-to-treat result in Table 14.2.1, supporting the primary conclusion.

7.1.2 Subgroup analysis

Figure 14.2.2: Hazard ratio for the primary endpoint by age group and sex, intention-to-treat population.

The treatment effect on the primary endpoint was consistent across sex and age-group subgroups, with no confidence interval crossing the line of no effect.

7.2 Secondary endpoint: change in systolic blood pressure

Table 14.2.2: Change from baseline in supine systolic blood pressure at week 24. Safety population.
Treatment group n LS mean change (SE) 95% CI Difference versus placebo (95% CI) p-value
Placebo 59 -2.02 (1.88) (-5.75, 1.71) Reference
Xanomeline Low Dose 25 -0.99 (2.90) (-6.74, 4.76) 1.03 (-5.83, 7.90) 0.77
Xanomeline High Dose 28 -5.47 (2.73) (-10.89, -0.05) -3.45 (-10.02, 3.13) 0.30
Least-squares means from an analysis of covariance model with actual treatment group as a factor and the baseline value as a covariate. n is the number of subjects with both a baseline and a week 24 supine value; no values are imputed. Vital signs are measured in three postures, each with its own baseline; the model uses the supine measurement, so each subject contributes one observation.

125 130 135 140 Week 2 Week 4 Week 8 Week 12 Week 16 Week 20 Week 24 Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg) (mean and standard error) Placebo Xanomeline Low Dose Xanomeline High Dose

Figure 14.2.3: Mean supine systolic blood pressure by visit and treatment group, safety population.

Mean systolic blood pressure remained stable across the treatment period in all three groups. The differences from placebo at week 24 were small and their confidence intervals included zero, so no treatment effect on systolic blood pressure was demonstrated.

8 Safety evaluation

Safety analyses count subjects under the treatment actually received, so the group sizes below differ from the randomised group sizes in the study patients chapter for the subjects whose actual treatment differed from their planned treatment.

Drug class is the ATC level 1 term; medications the pilot study left uncoded are reported under Uncoded. The overall row and the rows for each class count every subject with a qualifying record, including subjects whose only terms fall below the reporting threshold and are therefore not shown.

Concomitant medication use was extensive and comparable across the treatment groups, as expected in an elderly population.

8.7.1 Narratives

ICH E3 requires a narrative for every death, every other serious adverse event, and any other adverse event judged to be of special interest. Narratives are written from the source documents rather than from the analysis datasets, so they cannot be generated from the data in this demonstration. One narrative is reproduced below to show the structure; the remainder would follow the same shape, one per event.

Subject 01-701-XXXX, placebo, serious adverse event. A subject in the placebo group experienced a serious adverse event during the treatment period. The event began on the study day recorded in Listing 16.2.7.1, was assessed by the investigator as not related to study drug, and resolved. Study drug was not withdrawn and the subject continued in the study.

The subject identifier and the clinical content of this narrative are placeholders and are not drawn from the source data.

Counts are of subjects with at least one post-baseline value meeting each criterion, relative to the upper limit of the reference range of the reporting laboratory. The combined criterion requires an aminotransferase elevation and a bilirubin elevation in the same subject, not necessarily on the same day, and is a screen for potential drug-induced liver injury rather than a diagnosis.

Subjects meeting the combined aminotransferase and bilirubin criterion: 1, in the following treatment groups: placebo. 5 subjects met at least one criterion in total, too few for the difference between treatment groups to be interpretable, so the laboratory data show no signal of xanomeline-related liver injury. Subject-level values for every subject meeting any criterion are listed in Listing 16.2.8.1.

Categories are relative to the reference range of the reporting site. The worst post-baseline category is high (hypertensive) if any post-baseline value was high, otherwise low (hypotensive) if any value was low. Percentages use the number of subjects in each baseline category and treatment group as denominator, so they sum to 100% within each baseline category. Vital signs are measured in three postures, each with its own baseline; this table uses the supine measurement, so a subject is counted once.

Shifts to a high systolic blood pressure category occurred at a similar rate across treatment groups, with no excess of new hypotensive or hypertensive categories in either xanomeline group relative to placebo.

Categories are relative to the reference range of the reporting site. The worst post-baseline category is high if any post-baseline value was high, otherwise low if any value was low. Percentages use the number of subjects in each baseline category and treatment group as denominator, so they sum to 100% within each baseline category.

The QTcF interval is the only electrocardiogram parameter carrying reference-range indicators in these data. Shifts out of the normal range were infrequent and showed no dose-related pattern.

9 Discussion and overall conclusions

Over 24 weeks of double-blind treatment in 254 subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, the dermatologic tolerability of the xanomeline transdermal therapeutic system was the dominant safety finding. 98 subjects reported at least one dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event, and the events began earlier in both xanomeline groups than in the placebo group.

Serious treatment-emergent adverse events were reported for 3 subjects, without a pattern suggesting a treatment-related excess. Laboratory, vital sign and electrocardiogram findings did not identify a new safety concern, no subject in a xanomeline group met the combined biochemical criterion for potential drug-induced liver injury, and systolic blood pressure was unchanged relative to placebo at week 24.

The results support the conclusion that dermatologic tolerability is the limiting factor for this formulation at the doses studied. Any further development of the transdermal route should address application-site tolerability, for example by modifying the adhesive system or the rotation schedule of application sites.

This report is a demonstration of Quarto for regulated reporting. The conclusions describe the public CDISC pilot data used to build it and are not a statement about any real medicinal product.

12 Reproducibility

12.1 Source data

The analysis datasets are the CDISC pilot study datasets (study identifier CDISCPILOT01) distributed in the pharmaverseadam package. R/00-adam.R reads those datasets, restricts them to the randomised treatment groups, derives the treatment-emergent flags used throughout the report, and derives the time-to-event dataset with admiral::derive_param_tte().

12.2 Metadata excerpt (define.xml style)

A define.xml documents every submitted dataset and variable: its name, label, data type and, where applicable, the controlled terminology codelist it draws from. Tools such as metacore build a validated metadata object from that specification; the excerpt below hand-curates a subset of ADSL variables used in this report in the same shape, without generating or validating a full define.xml.

12.3 Analysis results traceability

Every summary table in this report is computed by gtsummary, which retains the Analysis Results Dataset (ARD) behind each statistic, following the CDISC Analysis Results Data standard. Each table’s ARD can be recovered from its table object, and cards::bind_ard() combines the ARDs from several tables into a single dataset, which is the mechanism used for quality control of the numbers reported here.

disposition_ard <- gtsummary::gather_ard(tlf_disposition(adsl))[[1L]]
demographics_ard <- gtsummary::gather_ard(tlf_demographics(adsl))[[1L]]
ae_overview_ard <- gtsummary::gather_ard(tlf_ae_overview(adae, adsl))[[1L]]

ard <- cards::bind_ard(disposition_ard, demographics_ard, ae_overview_ard, .quiet = TRUE)
head(as.data.frame(ard)[, c("variable", "stat_name", "stat")], 8)
                    variable stat_name      stat
1 Reason for discontinuation         n         8
2 Reason for discontinuation         N        28
3 Reason for discontinuation         p 0.2857143
4 Reason for discontinuation         n         9
5 Reason for discontinuation         N        28
6 Reason for discontinuation         p 0.3214286
7 Reason for discontinuation         n         2
8 Reason for discontinuation         N        28

The combined ARD traces every statistic back to the table (Table 14.1.2, Table 14.1.3 or Table 14.3.1.1) and variable that produced it:

as.data.frame(dplyr::count(ard, variable, name = "n_rows"))

12.5 Table shells

Table shells fix column layout, statistics and placeholder text at SAP sign-off, before database lock. The final report differs from the shell only in the numbers, not in structure. The mockup in Table 22 is the pre-lock shell for Table 14.2.1; the populated table in Table 23 is the same table after database lock, reproduced here for direct comparison.

Table 22: Shell for Time to first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event. Intention-to-treat population. Pre-database-lock template.
Treatment group Subjects Subjects with an event Median time to event (days) Hazard ratio (95% CI) p-value
Placebo XX XX (XX.X%) XXX (XXX, XXX) Reference
Xanomeline low dose XX XX (XX.X%) XXX (XXX, XXX) X.XX (X.XX, X.XX) X.XXX
Xanomeline high dose XX XX (XX.X%) XXX (XXX, XXX) X.XX (X.XX, X.XX) X.XXX
XX marks cells populated only after database lock. Column layout and statistics are fixed at SAP sign-off.
Table 23: Populated after database lock. Time to first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event. Intention-to-treat population.
Treatment group Subjects Subjects with an event Median time to event (days) Hazard ratio (95% CI) p-value
Placebo 86 20 (23.3%) Not reached Reference
Xanomeline Low Dose 84 39 (46.4%) 80 (55, NA) 2.98 (1.73, 5.13) <0.001
Xanomeline High Dose 84 39 (46.4%) 89 (50, NA) 3.34 (1.94, 5.75) <0.001
Medians and confidence intervals are Kaplan-Meier estimates. Hazard ratios come from a Cox proportional hazards model with planned treatment as the only covariate and placebo as the reference group. A median is reported as not reached where fewer than half the subjects in the group had an event.
quarto_version <- system2("quarto", "--version", stdout = TRUE, stderr = TRUE)
typst_version <- system2("quarto", c("typst", "--version"), stdout = TRUE, stderr = TRUE)

cat(
  "R:     ", R.version.string,
  "\nQuarto:", quarto_version,
  "\nTypst: ", sub("^typst ", "", typst_version)
)
R:      R version 4.6.1 (2026-06-24) 
Quarto: 1.11.1

The exact package versions are pinned in renv.lock. Running renv::restore() followed by quarto render reproduces this report from a clean checkout.

13 ADaM Reviewer’s Guide

This appendix describes the analysis datasets behind this report, in the spirit of a CDISC ADaM Reviewer’s Guide (ADRG): each dataset’s structure, its key derived variables, and the population flags used to select analysis subsets. It is a narrative companion to the metadata excerpt in Section 12, not a substitute for it.

13.1 Dataset overview

Analysis datasets used in this report
Dataset Structure Key derived variables
ADSL One record per subject TRT01P/TRT01A, SAFFL, ITTFL, PPROTFL, COMPFL, DCSREAS, AGEGR1
ADAE One record per subject per adverse event TRTEMFL (subset to TRUE), RELFL, DERMFL
ADCM One record per subject per medication CMCLAS, CMDECOD (sentence case for display)
ADEG One record per subject per ECG parameter per visit BNRIND, ANRIND (reference-range indicators)
ADEX One record per subject AVAL (total exposure days), derived from EX
ADLB One record per subject per lab test per visit BNRIND, ANRIND, ANRHI (upper limit of reference range)
ADMH One record per subject per medical history finding MHBODSYS, MHDECOD (sentence case for display)
ADTTE One record per subject per time-to-event parameter AVAL, CNSR, derived with admiral::derive_param_tte()
ADVS One record per subject per vital-signs test per visit BNRIND, ANRIND (reference-range indicators)

All nine datasets derive from the CDISC pilot study (CDISCPILOT01) shipped in pharmaverseadam, restricted in R/00-adam.R to the three randomised treatment arms. Two additions come from outside pharmaverseadam: ADTTE is not shipped and is derived from ADSL and ADAE, and the reason for discontinuation is taken from the SDTM disposition domain in pharmaversesdtm, because the pilot ADSL does not carry one.

R/00-adam.R also writes data/counts.rds, holding the number of subjects screened, randomised, treated and completing, and the number excluded from ADTTE. Those counts describe subjects the analysis datasets exclude, so they cannot live in an analysis dataset; keeping them in the same snapshot is what lets the subject flow figure agree with the tables.

13.2 ADSL: Subject-level analysis dataset

ADSL carries one record per randomised subject and the population flags that select analysis subsets throughout this report:

  • SAFFL: safety population, subjects who received at least one dose of study drug.
  • ITTFL: intention-to-treat population; every randomised subject is "Y", since all were randomised and dosed. Intention-to-treat analyses count subjects under TRT01P regardless of what they actually received.
  • PPROTFL: per-protocol population, approximated as safety-population completers. The pilot ships no protocol deviation dataset; the only deviation information available is discontinuation for protocol violation, and those subjects are already excluded as non-completers.
  • COMPFL: completers, derived from EOSSTT == "COMPLETED".
  • DCSREAS: reason for discontinuation, merged from the SDTM disposition domain and set to missing for subjects who completed, so that the reason rows of the disposition table sum to the discontinuation count.

TRT01P and TRT01A (planned and actual treatment for period 01) drive the by-treatment columns of this report, and they do not agree for every subject: 12 subjects randomised to the high dose received the low dose. Population, disposition, baseline and efficacy outputs are therefore reported by TRT01P, and safety outputs by TRT01A, so the group sizes differ between the two families of tables by design.

13.3 ADAE: Adverse events analysis dataset

ADAE is restricted to treatment-emergent events (TRTEMFL == "Y") reported by safety-population subjects. Two flags derived in R/00-adam.R are used beyond the standard ADaM variables:

  • RELFL: related to study drug, derived from AEREL %in% c("PROBABLE", "POSSIBLE", "RELATED").
  • DERMFL: dermatologic event, derived from AEBODSYS == "SKIN AND SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE DISORDERS"; this flag identifies the events contributing to the primary endpoint.

13.4 ADCM and ADMH: Concomitant medications and medical history

ADCM carries one record per medication per safety-population subject, summarised by ATC level 1 drug class (CMCLAS) and preferred term (CMDECOD). Medications the pilot study left uncoded are reported under a single Uncoded class rather than dropped.

ADMH carries one record per medical history finding. The primary diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is recorded once for every subject with no coded body system; it is the indication rather than a medical history finding, so R/00-adam.R excludes it. Medical history is a baseline characteristic, so it is summarised on the randomised population by planned treatment.

13.5 ADEX: Exposure analysis dataset

ADEX carries one record per subject with total exposure duration (AVAL, parameter TDURD), restricted to the safety population. Table 14.3.5 draws directly from this dataset without further derivation.

13.6 ADLB, ADVS and ADEG: Laboratory, vital-signs and ECG analysis datasets

These three share the same structure: one record per subject per test per visit, restricted to the safety population, with a baseline reference-range indicator (BNRIND) carried onto every post-baseline record alongside that record’s own indicator (ANRIND). That shared structure is what lets R/tlf.R’s tlf_shift() compute the shift-from-baseline tables (Table 14.3.4.1 to Table 14.3.4.4, Table 14.3.7 and Table 14.3.8) identically for all three domains, keyed only by PARAM.

ADEG differs in two ways. Its analysis records are averages of replicate readings, so they carry DTYPE == "AVERAGE" rather than a missing DTYPE, and only the rederived QTcF, QTcB, QTlc, QT, RR and heart-rate parameters carry reference-range indicators; the ECG interpretation parameter does not.

ADLB additionally carries ANRHI, the upper limit of the reference range for each record, which is what makes the liver-injury criteria in Table 14.3.4.5 expressible as multiples of that limit.

13.7 ADTTE: Time-to-event analysis dataset

ADTTE is derived, not sourced, since pharmaverseadam does not ship a time-to-event dataset for this study. R/00-adam.R builds it with admiral::derive_param_tte() from two sources:

  • An event source, the first dermatologic treatment-emergent adverse event per subject (ASTDT, one row per subject via slice_min()).
  • A censoring source, the subject’s last date known to be alive (LSTALVDT), for subjects without a qualifying event.

AVAL is the resulting time to event in days, and CNSR distinguishes events (0) from censoring (1). Records without a positive AVAL are dropped, and the number of subjects that removes is recorded in data/counts.rds so the analysis population can be reconciled with the safety population. TRT01P, TRT01A, SAFFL, PPROTFL, AGE, AGEGR1 and SEX are merged back from ADSL so that the primary and supportive analyses in the primary and secondary endpoints chapter need no further joins.
