Welcome! 

This website contains supplemental materials for the 2nd edition of

Design and Analysis of Quality of Life Studies in Clinical Trials.

 

Datasets:

There are six clinical trials that are used as examples in the book.  Four are derived from actual trials; two are simulated.  All are modified to protect both the trial participants and the sponsors.  I have obtained data use agreements for the four derived from actual trials for educational use only.  I will ask you to make the same commitment and use the datasets solely for the purpose of learning the techniques presented in the book.

 

For each study, there is a PDF dictionary with variable names, descriptor and coding if applicable. The datasets ending in 3 contain the merged baseline and longitudinal data.  The datasets are for SPSS (*3.sav), R (*3.csv), Stata (*3.dta) and SAS (*3.sas7bdat).  There is an additional SAS format file (format.sas7bdat).  For a few studies, there are two additional SAS datasets separating the baseline data (*1.sas7bdat) from the longitudinal data (*.2.sas7bdat).

 

Study 1:  Adjuvant Breast Cancer Trial.

Study 2:  Migraine Prevention Trial.

Study 3:  Lung Cancer Trial.

Study 4:  Renal-cell Carcinoma Trial

Study 5:  Chemoradiation (CXRT) Trial

Study 6:  Osteoarthritis Trial
