A generic template for clinical trials simulations that are typically required by statisticians is developed. Realistic clinical trials data sets are created using a unifying model that allows general correlation structures for endpoint*timepoint data and nonnormal distributions (including time-to-event), and computationally efficient algorithms are presented. The model allows for patient dropout and noncompliance. A grid-enabled SAS-based system has been developed to implement this model; details are presented summarizing the system development. An example illustrating use of the system is given.
