Set Study Preferences
This study management action enables you to globally set custom study-level attributes, subject-level preferences, analysis preferences for each CDISC class of reports, preferences for calculating study days, as well as preferences for advanced operations. A subset of these study-level preferences are also available on individual reports and are used as initial values for report options, but can be overridden in reports either through review templates or interactively. Some categories in this dialog are only available if they are applicable to the study data.
8 | Click to expand each section and specify preferences. |
Note: Some Report categories are surfaced only when the selected study meets the requirements for the reports in that category. As a result, you may not see all all of the categories shown below for your study.
Custom Study Attributes
Options shown in this category are determined by the Manage Configurations > System Preferences > Study Management > Custom Study Attributes specification, so this category will be shown only if at least one custom study attribute key has been defined. All studies for a given configuration will display the same set of custom study attributes in the Set Study Preferences dialog. These attributes are displayed on the study information panel of study selector windows, and always appear at the top of the panel.
The Indication and Description options are shown by default. This is a place for the user to enter descriptive text regarding the study
Indication
The Indication is simply a short phrase about what the study’s general focus is, or the presumptive use for the drug being investigated.
Description
The Description is longer and more open-ended than the Indication. Use this field to expand on any details about the study that you may feel relevant to reviewers or others users.
Subject Level Preferences
This category includes treatment variable, treatment control value, demographic grouping, and analysis population choices, among others. Some of these preferences are not available on individual reports.
Note: JMP Clinical automatically tries to assign default values for each of the subject level preferences based on flags found in the ADSL, ADDM, or DM (and optionally SUPPDM) data sets as well as prior selections. Use the individual widgets to modify the selections.
Treatment Variable
Use the Treatment Variable widget to specify the variable defining the actual or planned treatment used in the study. Available variables might include either a planned treatment , which is selected when the treatments patients received exactly match what was planned the variable specifying the actual treatmentActual, which is selected when treatment deviates from what was planned. You can also specify any demographic variable from DM and/or ADSL as a surrogate for the treatment variables.
Treatment Control Level
Use this widget to specify the term used in the Treatment variable to specify the study's control. The Treatment Control Level is specified as either “Placebo” or “Pbo”, depending on the value found in your data, by default.
Crossover
Use this widget to indicate that your study contains crossover data.
Demographic Grouping
Use this widget to specify the Demographic Grouping to use for segregating the results of your analysis.
Select the analysis population
This list is populated with available populations that can be defined for the current Study based on flags found in the ADSL, ADDM, or DM (and optionally SUPPDM) data sets. Use the drop-down menu to select the set of individuals to include in the analysis.
Set Age Groups
Check the Set Age Groups check box if you want to group study subjects by age.
Perform treatment comparison analysis for demographic variables.
Check this box to generate the treatment comparisons among the selected demographic variables.
Create additional distributions for selected variables
This option enables you to add or remove demographic variables from DM from the distributions.
8 | Click to open the Add window shown below: |
8 | Select one or more variables and click . |
8 | To remove one or more distributions, highlight the variables to be deleted and click . |
8 | To rearrange the order of the distributions, select a variable and click either or . |
By Variables
BY variables are optional (in most reports) variable specifications whose values define groups of observations, such as hour, month, or year. BY variables can enable analyses to be performed separately on different groups as defined by that variable. Choosing a BY variable such as gender (ADSL variable = SEX), for example, groups the subjects by gender and conducts two separate analyses: one for males and one for females.
Alternatively, specifying a BY variable enables you to animate an image so that you can see how response values change according to some grouping over time.
8 | Click to open the Add window (shown below) that lists each variable contained in domain and SUPPxx (if merged) specific to this report |
Note: In Demographics Distribution only, variables are taken from ADSL, in addition to the report-specific DS and SUPPPDS (if available) data sets.
8 | Select the variables that you want to include in the analysis and click to add those variables to the text box. |
In this example, AGE, RACE, and SEX were selected and added.
Note: If no BY variables are specified, the analysis is conducted across all the subjects
Adverse Events
This category is available if the study contains an adverse events data set.
Ignore available treatment emergent flags
If you choose to Ignore available treatment emergent flags, the analysis includes all adverse events that occur on or after day 1 of the study.
Offset for End of Dosing
By default, post-treatment monitoring begins after the patient receives the last treatment. However, you might want to specify an Offset for End of Dosing, increasing the time between the end of dosing and post-treatment monitoring for treatments having an extended half-life.
Include serious adverse events only
Check the Include serious adverse events only check box to include only serious adverse events in the analysis. Serious events are identified by a “Y” value in the expected AESER variable in AE or ADAE.
Event Type
Analysis can consider all events or only those that emerge at specific times before, during, or after the trial period. For example, selecting On treatment events as the Event Type includes only those events that occur on or after the first dose of study drug and at or before the last dose of drug (+ the offset for end of dosing).
Term Level
Use the Term Level widget to specify which level of terms to use as categories.
Term and Group Level
Term and Group Levels are determined by the coding dictionary for the Event or Intervention domain of interest, typically these levels follow the MedDRA dictionary. You must indicate how each adverse event is named and the level at which the event is considered. For example, selecting Reported Term for the Adverse Event, grouped by Body System or Organ Class reports the event specified by the actual event term as reported in the AE domain on the affected organ or body system.
Stack
Use the Stack widget to distinguish different levels within each of the adverse events summarized on the same the bar in the plots.
Time at Risk
Use the Time at Risk: widget to specify how to calculate each patient's duration in patient years. If the Time at Risk is calculated from specified patient time at risk and event flag variables, then it is assumed that the variables that you select appropriately match the selection on this dialog for clear communication of results on the report output.
Patient Years Multiplier
The selection of the incidence rate multiplier can be dependent on the number of subjects in a study and the cumulative time on study/treatment. Use the Patient Years Multiplier: widget to select a multiplier for incidence rates for better interpretability and comparison among studies.
Determine Time at Risk and Adverse Event Inclusion from:
Use the Determine Time at Risk and Adverse Event inclusion from: widget to specify whether JMP Clinical should calculate patient years and event inclusion based on study date variables or from derived patient years/time at risk and event inclusion flags.
Offset (in Days) to Include with End Date Variable
Use the Offset (in Days) to Include with End Date Variable widget to specify the number of days after the last date of study or exposure for calculation of patient time at risk and adverse event variable inclusion.
Date for Ongoing Subjects
Use the Date for Ongoing Subjects widget to specify an end date for subjects that are continuing in the clinical trial.

Adverse Events Narrative
AE Narrative Template
Use the AE Narrative Template option to select the template for the narrative. Templates enable you to customize the narrative in a variety of layouts and/or styles. The templates are read by JMP Clinical at run time and available for selection when creating the final document. The result of this design enables very customizable output that can be altered and/or extended as appropriate for different types of studies or specific regulatory requests.
Sort by narrative category
Check the Sort by narrative category option to sort the narrative by category of fatal adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to discontinuation, or adverse events of special interest.
Include subject level table of contents
Check this box to Include subject-level table of contents in the narrative.
Use Subject Identifier for study in lieu of Unique Subject Identifier
The Use Subject Identifier for study in lieu of Unique Subject Identifier widget enables you to use the subject identifier for study (SUBJID), if it is available, in lieu of unique subject identifier (USUBJID) in the narrative text. If SUBJID is not available, USUBJID is used as normal.
Adverse Events Categories
Use the drop-down menu to specify the category of adverse events to include in the narrative. Options include fatal serious adverse events only, serious adverse events only, non-serious adverse events leading to discontinuation, or all adverse events.
Number of Days Around Adverse Event Start Date for Reported Related Events
You might want to include in the narrative additional events that occur at or about the same time as the reported adverse events. Use the Number of days around Adverse Event start date for reported related events option to specify the number of days before and after the onset of the adverse event, within which the additional events are considered. only those events falling within the specified time are included in the narrative.
Limit reported related events to those that are serious
By default, reporting additional adverse events that occur close in time to each summarized event includes all adverse events experienced by the patient. Use the Limit reported related events to those that are serious option limit those events to serious adverse events only.
Include the reported event term in the header only when different than the coded term
Both the coded term for the AE (AEDECOD) and the reported term are included in the headers within the narrative. You can use the Include the reported event term in the header only when different than the coded term to include the reported event term (AETERM) in the header only when different from the coded term (AEDECOD). If they are the same, only the coded term is used.
Include Exposure (EX) in the narrative
You can opt to Include Exposure (EX) in the narrative. The report sums up values of EXDOSE for each day across all records. It does not take into account units such as mg/hr or dosing frequency such as BD or QD. Instead, this report takes the simplest possible approach and assumes that the study sponsors would ultimately report the total dose for a particular study day in EXDOSE. This is also partially why including dosing into the narrative is optional.
All study treatments are to be taken at least once per day
If the study protocol that all study treatments are to be taken at least once each day you should check the All study treatments are to be taken at least once per day option. This is used to calculate drug (including dose interruptions) dosage at the time of the event. Note: This option is checked by default. You should uncheck this box if at least one drug is taken less frequently than once per day.
A 0 dose for placebo or vehicle indicates a dose interuption
The A 0 dose for placebo or vehicle indicates a dose interruption option is used when a dose of 0 for either the placebo or the treatment indicates a dose interruption. This option is specified by default.
Include a summary table of concomitant medications
Use this widget to report information about the concomitant medications study subjects are taking and their possible relationship to observed adverse effects. Note: By default, concomitant medications are not summarized in the narrative. Use the Include a summary table of concomitant medications to include this information.
Use original study days instead of derive values
When you opt to include a summary table of concomitant medications, you can also opt to Use original study days instead of derived values
Number of Days Prior to Adverse Event Start Date for Reporting Concomitant Medications
The Number of days prior to Adverse Event start date for reporting concomitant medications option enables you to specify the time period on or before treatment that you want to consider. A value of 0 indicates medications that were taken the day of event onset; this value is specified by default. A value of X includes concomitant medications that were taken on the day of the onset of the AE and up to X days prior to AE onset.
Concomitant Medications are reported in text using:
Use the Concomitant medications are reported in text using: option to specify how to report the name of the drug.

You can opt to display the bars and response markers on the swimmer plot in grey scale by checking the Use Grey Scale for Bar Color widget.
Progression Free Survival
End Date Variable to Use for Censoring
For patients who survive progression-free beyond the end of the study, the ultimate progression-free survival values for these individuals are unknown. All that can be said is that progression-free survival exceeds the period of the study; these data are considered censored. For these cases, you must specify the end date for collecting data to assess progression. The End Date Variable to Use for Censoring widget is used to select which variable date reference from the demography domain to use for calculating the censored disease progression values. Patients who progress after this date are not considered as progressing. The Last Response Assessment Date is chosen by default.
Offset for Censor End Date (in Study Days)
The Offset for Censor End Date (in Study Days) option enables you to specify a minimum time interval following censor end date that can be used to determine whether progression has occurred. Patient who progress within that threshold are considered to have progressed whereas patients who progress after the specified threshold are not.
Type of Analysis
The Type of Analysis widget enables you to specify whether you want to measure Progression Free Survival or Time to Progression. Progression free survival measures the time from patient randomization to either tumor progression or death. Time to progression censors death and only considers objective tumor progression. A note is added to the top of the report indication which type of analysis has been selected.
Tumor Response
Tumor Results Test for Analysis
Use Tumor Results Test for Analysis widget to select the test to be used both for creating the summary measurement value to plot by time in the spider plot and to summarize in the waterfall plot where each subject is represented with a bar whose height is determined by the calculated Best or Last value.
Default value for lesions marked TOO SMALL TO MEASURE
Use the Default value for lesions marked TOO SMALL TO MEASURE widget to specify a value to replace when TRSTRESN is missing and the TRSTRESC result has a value of TOO SMALL TO MEASURE. Per RECIST guidelines, this should be a value of 5mm.
Summarize tumor lesion measurement results by:
Use the Summarize tumor lesion measurement results by: widget to select either Study Visit or Study Day as the time period to summarize the results by. Selecting Study Visit uses VISIT/VISITNUM and potentially Time Point (TRTPT if detected) for defining groups of lesions that should be aggregated to create a measurement for tumor burden. Alternatively, selecting Study Day sums lesions based on the date of the test (transformed into days relative to study start. Note: This option is still used to define unique measurements by visit/day and will average measurements if there are multiple results on the same visit/day if the test selected or chosen is an already summed representation of tumor lesion burden.
Plot tumor results measurements as:
Use the Plot tumor results measurements as: widget to select the type of findings measurement values to plot. Selecting Change from baseline plots the change from the findings baseline measurements (determined by the xxBLFL variable or by Study Day less than 1). Selecting Percent Change from Baseline plots the percent change from the findings baseline measurements. Percent Change from Baseline is specified by default.
Tumor Result Summary to Display in Waterfall Plot
Use the Tumor Result Summary to Display in Waterfall Plot widget to select the statistic by which to summarize the data from the trial period. (The mean is always used to summarize data from the baseline period.) Best refers to best overall response. Last refers to the last observed value.
Filter to only include target lesions in numeric result summaries
When the Filter to only include Target Lesions in numeric result summaries widget is checked, the report algorithm attempts to find target lesion information based on values in the following SDTM identifying variables (in order of preference for detection): TRGRPID, TRCAT, TUSTRESC or TUORRES (via unique TRLNKID to TULNKID). If the values of the determined variable contains TARGET and does not contain values such as NEW, NON-TARGET, or NOT TARGET, then these records are only used for evaluating tumor result measurements for plots. When this option is unchecked, any record for the selected or determined TRTEST for analysis that has a numeric result (TRSTRESN) is included in the calculation and summary plots.
Display Subject identifiers on waterfall plot x-axis
By default, subject identifiers are not included on the waterfall plots. Click the Display subject identifiers on waterfall plot x-axis box to display the subject identifiers on the x-axes of the plots.
Annotate plots with selected disposition events
The Annotate Plots with Selected Disposition Events option enables you to annotate the output plots with selected disposition events. This feature enables you to quickly identify subjects experiencing those events and when during the study the event occurred.
Annotate disposition events and new lesions that occur between tumor results visits
Use the Annotate disposition events and new lesions that occur between tumor results visits: option to annotate visits (in the spider (line trend) plot) before or after the occurrence of a new lesion or disposition event when the study day (determined by TRDTC or DSDTC for new lesions or disposition events respectively) is between tumor lesion summary measurement results.
Only mark the first occurrence of a new lesion for each subject
Use the Only mark the first occurrence of a new lesion for each subject to annotate the first occurrence of any new lesion only per subject in the spider (line trend) plot. New lesions are marked with an asterisk at the visit where it occurred or anchored to a visit value based on the comparison of study day and the preference set on the report options to annotate either prior/after the occurrence if the new lesion detection falls between valid measured tumor lesion summary days. This option is checked by default. If unchecked, all records with a valid date and whose tumor identification contains NEW are marked.
Mark subjects with selected disposition events in the waterfall plot
By default, the report marks only the occurrence of disposition events for a given subject on the spider/trend plot. If the Mark subjects with selected disposition events in the waterfall plot option is checked, then a black point marker is also used just above the best/last summary response value for a given subject in the waterfall plot provided the subject has any of the selected disposition events recorded.
