Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium Controlled Terminology (CDISC-CT) and Semantics Standard
A Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium Controlled Terminology (CDISC-CT) and Semantics Standard is a CDISC Standard that is a set of CDISC-developed or CDISC-adopted standard expressions (values) used with data items within CDISC-defined datasets.
- AKA: CDISC Controlled-Terminology Standard, CDISC Semantics Standard.
- Context:
- It was developed in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute's Enterprise Vocabulary Services (EVS) and Biomedical Research Integrated Domains Group (BRIDG).
- It supports the controlled terminology needs of CDISC Foundational and Therapeutic Area Standards.

- QUOTE: CDISC Terminology is the set of CDISC-developed or CDISC-adopted standard expressions (values) used with data items within the Foundational Standards and Therapeutic Area User Guides. CDISC Terminology provides context, content, and meaning to clinical research data and provides a consistent semantic layer across all operational contexts, enabling interoperability of the CDISC Standards. Each of the Foundational Standards' data models includes terminology implementation requirements.
CDISC Terminology is published by the US National Cancer Institute’s Enterprise Vocabulary Services (NCI-EVS) as a set of terminology products that support the use of and harmonization among the CDISC Foundational Standards. These products include Protocol, SEND, CDASH, SDTM, ADaM, Define-XML, and Glossary. CDISC Terminology consists of submission values, definitions, synonyms, codelists, codes, and code system elements, which are needed to specify a complete terminology system.

- QUOTE: Controlled Terminology is the set of codelists and valid values used with data items within CDISC-defined datasets. Controlled Terminology provides the values required for submission to FDA and PMDA in CDISC-compliant datasets. Controlled Terminology does not tell you WHAT to collect; it tells you IF you collected a particular data item, how you should submit it in your electronic dataset.

- QUOTE: The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) is an open, non-profit organization that develops and supports global data standards to improve the quality and interoperability of medical research and healthcare. CDISC standards are widely used for study planning and data collection, tabulation, analysis, and submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), and other regulatory agencies internationally.
CDISC partners with NCI Enterprise Vocabulary Services (EVS) to develop and support controlled terminology for all CDISC foundational standards (Protocol, CDASH, SDTM, SEND, ADaM, Define-XML, and CDISC Glossary) and CDISC Therapeutic Area Standards. CDISC Terminology goes through an extensive process of content development and public review, with wide participation from the research and healthcare community. EVS maintains and distributes CDISC Controlled Terminology as part of NCI Thesaurus (NCIt).
CDISC Terminology is freely available, without licensing restrictions, and versioned by date; all previous versions can be found in the archive subdirectories.

- QUOTE: The CDISC standards span the clinical research process and include standards for the exchange of nonclinical data (SEND), data collection case report forms (CRFs; clinical data acquisition standards harmonization (CDASH)), aggregation and tabulation (study data tabulation model (SDTM)), Biomedical Research Integrated Domain Group (BRIDG) logical model, and operational data model (ODM) for transport (Figure 1). In collaboration with the National Cancer Institute's Enterprise Vocabulary Services (NCI-EVS) program, CDISC has developed a rich controlled terminology that is linked to other common research semantics through the NCI-EVS tools. These standards, presented in data models, implementation guides, and user guides, are globally recognized and heavily used by the biopharmaceutical industry and some academic institutions.

- QUOTE: CDISC standards (Figure 1) are categorized as Foundational Standards, Semantics, Therapeutic Area (TA) Standards, and Transport Standards (...)
- Except for Protocol, the foundational standards and their implementation guides are organized into classes of related categories of information. Within SDTM for example, each class is subdivided into domains, and each domain is comprised of variables. Semantics include CDISC Controlled Terminologies, developed in collaboration with NCI EVS, and the Biomedical Research Integrated Domains Group (BRIDG) domain information model. TA User Guides provide indication-specific “slices” of foundational standards and their terminologies, with examples of how to use these standards for a given TA. Transport Standards support submissions, data interchange, study archival, and automated study setup[1].
