Configuring the Vault Safety EDC Connection Connection

The Vault Safety EDC Connection is an integration between your CDMS vault and your Safety vault. Vault transfers data between CDMS and Safety with the Vault Safety EDC Connector. This integration automates the reporting of all serious adverse events (SAEs) and related information for hte safety case to the safety system.

Any time a site completes or updates the SAE form, or any related forms, CDMS automatically generates a first-send or follow-up and sends it to Vault Safety. Study designers can define item mappings, case duration rules, and linking by the site to determine which subject data is included in the safety case. The integration and message statuses can be tracked in the Safety Cases Report.

The integration also supports the automated nulliofication of a safety case due to a change to non-serious or a form reset.

Vault Safety sends back case decisions and status updates to CDMS.

Create the Connection

Once this feature is enabled in your vault, you can begin configuration. First, you must connect your CDMS and Safety vaults.

1. Navigate to Tools > System Tools > Connections > Safety.
2. Click + New Connection.

5. Make your setup selections. The table below describes the settings available.
6. Click Save.

Setting	Description
Safety System Connection Profile	Select the Connection you created in System Tools that connects your CDMS vault to the safety system.
Study Transmission Status	Set this to Active to indicate that your study is ready to transmit data to Safety. Otherwise, leave this set to Inactive.
Alerting on Unsubmitted Forms	Select Yes to activate a job that will alert selected users about unsubmitted SAE forms. This option sends an alert when a site user creates a new SAE form, enters data to mark it as Serious, and doesn’t submit the Form. This option also sends an alert if the user submits the Form but doesn’t enter a value for the mapped AE term item. These scenarios prevent the initial sending of safety data. The reporting deadline will also be set when seriousness is set to Yes. You can choose alert recipients from Tools > Safety Integrations. From Safety Integrations, you can choose a specific list of users or email groups and limit recipients by country. Vault sends a notification to the selected users and to the site user one hour after form creation.
Acknowledgement File Late Behavior	This setting applies when an E2B XML is sent to the safety system, but no acknowledgement file is received yet. Vault sets the message with the chosen status and text to indicate the action. An ack file can be still received later, but this action will put the case back in a status where it is eligible for additional follow-ups. You can choose to always wait for the ack file (None - Always Wait for Ack), or you can choose to accept or reject after waiting a number of days.
Data Synchronization Period (days)	Enter the number of days after the SAE End Date when new data will no longer be synchronized with Vault Safety. All data already included in the case will continue to be synchronized.

Case Settings

To set the integration type:

1. Navigate to Studio > Safety Settings for your Study.
2. Click Edit.
3. Make your changes. The table below lists the available case settings.
4. Click Save.

The following settings are available:

Setting	Description
Subject ID Location	Select the location of the Subject ID value that you want to send to the safety system
Subject ID Format	Define the format for the Subject ID. You can choose from the following: Subject Only, Site-Subject, Country ISO-Site-Subject.
Primary Source Qualification Value	Select the value for the Primary Source Qualification.
Study Drug Classify when ConMed Suspect	Select the classification for the Concomitant Medication when the site user chooses Suspect. This is for cases when a user is classifying a Concomitant Medication via an Item to Form link, and user chooses SUSPECT, then this classification is to be instead used for Study Drug classification(s) of the send/case.
Study Name Value	Optional: You can define a Study Name to send to the safety system. When left blank, Vault sends the Study Label.
Sponsor Study Number Value	Optional: You can define a Sponsor Study Number to send to the safety system. When left blank, Vault sends the Study Label.
Study Type	Select the Study Type of the Reaction (C.5.4). Select from “Clinical trials”, “Individual patient use” or “Other studies”.
Reporter	Select, Full Site Information, Principal Investigator, or None. If you choose Principal Investigator, Vault uses the Principal Investigator assigned to the Site. This is the value for the Reporter field on the Safety Case.
NullFlavor for Coding	Select how to handle null values for coding: “None”, “10067482”, or “99999999”. If you choose “None”, Vault won’t include the E2Bs below in the Safety Case. If you choose “99999999” or “10067482”, CDMS sends that as the value for the E2Bs below. Coding E2Bs: SAE - E.i.2.1b: Reaction / Event (MedDRA code) AE - E.i.2.1b: Reaction / Event (MedDRA code) MH - D.7.1.r.1b: Medical History (disease / surgical procedure / etc.) (MedDRA code)
Mute Coding Follow-ups	When set to Yes, this setting stops Vault from sending follow-ups when the only change is the coding of the AE term (coded, uncoded, or a change to the dictionary version). When set to No, Vault sends follow-ups for all changes, including coding. If your study primarily performs coding in the safety system, Vault recommends setting this option to Yes to prevent unnecessary follow-ups to the safety system.
Datetime Value Behavior	When configuring safety data against datetime fields on an EDC form, this option indicates which value to send. You can choose from Use Screen / Entered Value to use the value as entered by the site, or you can choose Use Normalized (UTC) Value to use the datetime normalized to UTC using the site time zone relative to the screen value.
Auto Set Medically Confirmed	This setting determines the inclusion of “Medical Confirmation by Healthcare Professionals” (E.i.8) in the safety case. Select Yes to include.

Inclusion Criteria

You can choose to include a related Form based on it’s date in relation to the SAE form.

General Notes

1. Allows site linking for inclusion. This is an option for any section except Study Drug.
2. Compare dates - SAE Start / End to the related form Start / End
3. Both date comparison and allowance of site linking can be configured within a section, i.e. any are true, the form data is included in the safety case / transfer.
4. For fields where date only field is compared to full datetime, both are considered date for the comparison purpose
5. For datetime to datetime comparison where one of the time values is set unknown, both are considered date for the comparison purpose
6. Study Drug is a special section that contains several options that are specific only to that section.
7. When a start date is not set on a related form (or the primary SAE), duration inclusion rules are ignored
8. For forms with no end date (yet, or ongoing), the end date is considered far in the future for comparison purposes of the two durations. As such, those forms are included as the conservative default.
9. For partial dates (e.g. unknown day), comparisons are done with respect to the year first, then month.
10. When a form has no end date map (common with study drug or external labs), then the end date is considered equal to the start date.

Duration Rule Examples

Here are some common examples for use of duration rules:

Section	Intent	Configuration	Include/Exclude Examples
Adverse Events	Include any other Adverse Event, serious or not, that occurred within 2 days of the start of the serious adverse event.	Select Duration overlaps X days on/before SAE Start and enter "2" for Value. Select Duration overlaps X days on/after SAE Start and enter "2" for Value. Multiple Cases: This example creates multiple cases in the safety system with the same events. Use the safety system to mark one closed as duplicate and work with the other.	If the primary SAE form's SAE Start Date and End Date is January 15th: SAE #1, start date January 14th: Included SAE #2, start date January 17th: Included SAE #3, start date January 19th: Excluded
Concomitant Medications	Include any Concomitant Medication form that is ongoing at the SAE Start or that has ended within 3 days of the SAE Start.	Select Duration overlaps X days on/before SAE Start and enter "3" for Value. Select Duration overlaps any part of SAE	If the primary SAE form's SAE Start Date is January 15th and its SAE End Date is also January 15th: CM #1, start date January 10th, no end date (ongoing): Included CM #2, start date January 17th: Excluded CM #3, start date January 5th, end date January 13th: Included

Scan Vault Safety for Design Elements

You can run a job from the Connections page that scans Vault Safety for its design elements relative to CDMS-to-Safety transfers over the connector (non E2B).

To run a scan:

1. Navigate to your Connection.
2. Hover over the connection’s Name to show the Scan button.
3. Click Scan.
4. In the Scan Vault Safety dialog, click Run Job.

Map Fields to their Safety Case Elements

Once you’ve imported the field information from Safety, those fields become available for mapping in Studio. This is the same process as mapping the standard fields.

See Configuring Forms for Send to Safety.

Download Specifications

You can download your safety configuration via the Study Design Specification or the All CRFs PDF export.

Deploying your Safety Configuration

Once you finish your configuration in your study’s DEV environment, you can deploy it to TST for testing, then onward into your training and production environments.

Your safety configuration, except for the Integration Setup and Connection, is automatically included in your study’s deployment package. When you deploy your study, Vault includes the current configuration in the package.

Because this configuration is managed as part of study deployments, you can only make changes in DEV type environment. To make changes, make them in the DEV environment and then deploy those changes to your other environments. This configuration is validated as part of casebook version publication. While validation is in progress, editing is disabled. A list of possible errors and warnings is available here.
