To develop and evaluate a modular framework that generates realistic synthetic clinical trial datasets conforming to electronic case report forms for operational readiness and validation.
Combined trial metadata from Medidata Rave Architect Loader Spreadsheets with empirical patterns from a reference study to generate patient timelines, applying Bayesian networks for categorical variables and density-based methods for numeric and temporal variables.
Incorporated a configurable Noise Tool to systematically inject timeline discrepancies, threshold violations, eligibility conflicts, and structural errors to stress-test downstream data validation rules.
Descriptive evaluation via Jensen–Shannon distance and Cramér’s V demonstrated close agreement for several binary operational fields, while multi-category safety and medication variables exhibited weaker descriptive fidelity.
The framework successfully supported reproducible dataset generation for validation rules and reporting pipelines without claiming uniform statistical equivalence or cross-domain clinical validity.
