We are pleased to announce the release of {pharmaversesdtm} 1.4.0 🎉
This release expands the breadth of SDTM test data available in the package, with a particular focus on neurology and oncology, alongside several targeted enhancements and fixes.
✨ What’s New in 1.4.0
🧠 New neurological SDTM test datasets
Version 1.4.0 introduces a set of neurology-focused SDTM test datasets, extending the package coverage of therapeutic areas:
dm_neuro– demographic data for neurological studies
nv_neuro– neurological findings
suppnv_neuro– supplemental qualifiers for neurological findings
ag_neuro– associated groups for neurological domains
lb_neuro– neurological laboratory test data
These datasets are intended to support development, testing, and examples for neurology-specific workflows.
📊 New and updated variables
Several existing datasets have been enhanced:
VISITDYhas been added to thepcdomain to support consistent visit day derivations.BRTHDTChas been added to bothdmanddm_metabolic, improving demographic completeness.- The
qs_ophthadataset now uses an updatedQSTESTCDaligned with CDISC terminology and has been simplified for easier use in examples.
🧬 Oncology data improvements
This release also includes important updates for oncology use cases:
- Corrections to
rs_onco_pcwg3, addressing misclassified progression indicators and response records. - A new oncology biomarker dataset,
lb_onco_pcwg3, providing PSA measurements aligned with PCWG criteria.
🧠 Neurological dataset enhancements
Neurological laboratory data includes biomarkers Alpha Synuclein Seed Amplification Assay (CSF), Lumipulse G pTau217, Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42, and the ratio of pTau217 and β-Amyloid 1-42.
📚 Documentation and developer updates
To help you explore datasets by therapeutic area, the reference pages have been reorganized to group datasets under meaningful categories such as metabolic, neurological, and oncology. This makes navigation easier for researchers and developers alike.
