Analyses and Displays for Vital Signs, ECG, and Laboratory Analyte Measurements
Mary Nilsson, Eli Lilly and Company; Wei Wang, Eli Lilly and Company; Qi Jiang, Amgen
OBJECTIVE
White Paper 1 – Finalized October 2013
The objective of this poster is to receive
feedback on recommended displays for
vital signs, electrocardiogram, and
laboratory analyte measurements as
outlined in PhUSE Computational Science
Symposium (CSS) white papers as part of
a standardization and code-sharing effort.
The Vision – Development of Standard Scripts for
Analysis and Reporting Working Group
Recommended Tables and Figures
Traditional Tables and Figures
• Only has mean
and SD - Lacks
additional useful
summary statistics
• Outliers not
displayed
• Can be misleading
when data are
non-normal
• Allows for visual inspection of
changes over time
• Can visually assess the potential
impact of outliers on the central
tendency summary statistic
• Out of range values in red
• Easy to see treatment differences
• Summary table compliments box
plot so numbers are available for
textual summaries
White Paper 2 – Under
st
1
• Lack of information on patient
level information
o Lack of magnitude of shift
• Difficult to assess overall
treatment difference
o Very popular, however, users
tend to count and create
grouped percentages
manually for those shifting to
high from low/normal (or
low from normal/high).

Examples of Discussed Topics
Whether to report p-values and confidence intervals
Handling of measures collected in reflex manner, repeated
measures, unplanned measures, measurements post drug
exposure
Defining baseline
Central versus local laboratories
Choices of lab reference limits
Units and transformations
ECG correction factors
Two pages per measurement
o One for Max. baseline vs. Max.
post-baseline (shown on the left)
o Another identical one for Min.
baseline vs. Min. post-baseline
• Scatter plot
o Shows patient level information
o Allows quick browsing through a
large amount of information
• Shift table
o Shows useful summary level
statistics
• Treatment emergent high/low table
o Shows concise summary level
statistics
o Allows for easy assessment of
treatment difference

In Development:
Adverse Events
Demographics, Disposition, Medications
Hepatotoxicity
Non-compartmental PK
Planned: QT Studies
Conclusion:
Industry standards have evolved over time for data collection
(CDASH), observed data (SDTM), and analysis datasets (ADaM).
Development of standard tables and figures with associated analyses
is the next step!
Having an organized process for shared learning of improved
methodologies can lead to earlier safety signal detection and better
characterization of the safety profile of our products.
