Sickle Cell Disease
Data Standard

Adoption of data standards for clinical research includes pharmaceutical companies, regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, academic and government-based clinical researchers and government agencies such as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Prior to reviewing the Data Standards page, we recommended review of comprehensive list of Core elements and overview of domains/subdomains and related forms and instruments:

History

Working groups were formed to review five clinical research study domains:

  • Genetics/Assays;
  • Physical Examination/Medical History;
  • Cardiopulmonary, Renal and Cerebrovascular;
  • Outcomes; and
  • Monitoring Side Effects.

These working groups were comprised of SCD adult and pediatric specialists, patient advocates, genetic therapy specialists, neuropsychologists, nurses, data managers, manufacturers, industry members, and academics. After a Public Review period and follow-up with working groups, version 1.0 of the standardized data forms have been released. The forms will also be made available through the National Library of Medicine (NLM) website. This will be an iterative process, and feedback from users will be encouraged.

Updates

There were five (5) domain working groups (WGs) which were organized to review the clinical research studies in sickle cell disease (SCD):

  1. Genetics/Assays;
  2. Physical Examination/Medical History;  
  3. Cardiopulmonary, Renal and Cerebrovascular;
  4. Outcomes; and,
  5. Monitoring Side Effects.

WGs are comprised of SCD adult and pediatric specialists, patient advocates, genetic therapy specialist, neuropsychologists, nurses, data managers, manufacturers, industry members, and academics.

The timeline of their work in 2020 is outlined below.
