An XPT file is a SAS dataset in the XPORT transport format, the format regulators such as the US FDA ask clinical trial data to be submitted in.
A DTA file is a Stata dataset: a data table with variable names, types, display formats, variable labels and value labels, written by the Stata statistics package. The same extension is also used by Zeiss BIVAS for its image files.
