Mapper

elluminate Mapper is a self-service, no-code/low-code data mapping and standardization application within the elluminate Clinical Data Cloud. Designed for clinical programming teams, data analysts, and non-programmers alike, Mapper enables users to rapidly unify data from diverse sources, perform complex transformations to SDTM and other standard formats, and publish curated datasets for analytics — all without writing custom or ad-hoc programs.

Mapper addresses the growing challenge of managing increasing volumes of external data sources in clinical research. By providing a fully compliant and auditable environment, it empowers organizations across biotech, pharma, and CROs to standardize clinical data efficiently, reduce reliance on SAS programmers or third parties, and deliver self-service access to data streams across the clinical enterprise.

Core Capabilities

• Drag-and-drop interface that allows non-programmers to map and transform source data to required target formats without programming knowledge
• Support for complex data transformations to SDTM and other industry- and company-specific clinical data standards
• No-code/low-code design with the option to apply additional SQL code for more detailed customization and transformation
• Ability to accept any incoming data structure and transform it to whatever format is required for reporting or analysis
• Real-time data visualizations and reports delivered to clinical teams conducting data and safety review
• Ensures compliance with industry- and company-specific clinical data standards within a fully auditable environment

Data Ingestion and Mapping Features

• Maximum flexibility for ingesting data across numerous sources
• Out-of-the-box automated integration with Medidata Clinical Cloud
• Dynamic mapping templates that automatically map different types of data upon receipt, saving significant time
• Enables data analysts to map directly to clinical data standards including SDTM, reducing cost and increasing control
• Automatic triggering of mappings: the system monitors imported data and, unless opted out, triggers associated mappings at every import without manual intervention

Out-of-the-Box Transformation Functions

• Renaming variables
• Changing data types, field lengths, and field labels
• Reordering columns
• Pivot and unpivot operations
• Creating derived variables and aggregate variables
• Many additional frequently used data transformation functions included as standard

Workflow and Self-Service Access

• Clinical programming teams and data analysts use Mapper to rapidly provide end users with self-service access to curated datasets and visualizations
• Data is not required to flow through Mapper, but Mapper serves as the tool used to move data between data stores within the elluminate platform
• Mapped domains and transformations can be automated to trigger on every data import, reducing manual effort
• Supports production of compliant, submission-worthy SDTM datasets, as validated by excellent Pinnacle 21 scores in real-world use

Mapper is part of the broader elluminate Clinical Data Cloud platform, which integrates with products including Data Central, eIQ Review, and the Statistical Computing Environment. It operates within a fully compliant and auditable environment, making it suitable for regulated clinical trial data workflows and regulatory submissions.
