| PHUSE collaborations are organised into a number of specialist Working Groups, each with a broad topic area. The Working Groups have specific projects designed to achieve a set of particular objectives. This page will highlight the latest news and information from our projects. Participation is open to anyone who wants to contribute and if you would like to get involved, please email workinggroups@phuse.global. |

The Dataset-JSON as Alternative Transport Format for Regulatory Submissions project within the Optimizing the Use of Data Standards Working Group |
The goal of this Working Group is to work together to identify and close those particular gaps that impede industry and the FDA from making the most efficient use of data standards. Click here to see a list of current projects within this Working Group.
Learn more about the roles and the responsibilities of a Working Group Lead and apply by emailing workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date 5 April.
The Nonclinical Topics Working Group has initiated a new Project called ‘Supporting the Use of SEND for the Implementation of Virtual Control Groups’ which is now calling for volunteers! This project will leverage the deep SEND knowledge and experience of the PHUSE Nonclinical Topics Working Group by initially focusing on the development of best practices with respect to population of SEND datasets with data from virtual control animals. This project will be working alongside the Nonclinical Scripts project also within the Nonclinical Topics Working Group and provide an open venue for the socialisation and hosting of open-source software solutions related to selection procedures and database infrastructure. If you are interested in joining, please contact workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date 13 April.
, has published a new white paper. A pilot was executed to test the feasibility of using Dataset-JSON as a transport format for study data submitted with regulatory applications. The goal was to demonstrate that Dataset-JSON can serve as a transport file for study data without loss of data and no significant impact to business operations. CDISC Dataset-JSON is a modern dataset format designed for data exchange. Many software applications already import and export JSON and in the longer term more significant benefits will emerge as the constraints imposed by XPT are removed. Overall, the findings were consistent across industry and the FDA supporting the use of Dataset-JSON as an alternative transport format for XPT v5. There were several key findings from the pilot and the solutions to these will be implemented in Dataset-JSON v1.1 (due end of 2024). PHUSE and CDISC will continue to collaborate with the FDA/PMDA to discuss next steps for regulatory support. FDA/CDER/CBER testing strongly suggests that analytical tools used for regulatory review are updated to take advantage of the metadata and flexibility provided by the Dataset-JSON format. The SEND Industry Feedback Surveyproject within the Nonclinical Topics Working Group, has published the 2024 SEND Survey Results. The survey was presented at the PHUSE/FDA Computational Science Symposium (CSS) 2024 and covered topics such as Manual Edits, Implementing SEND, Harmonisation and Next Steps. The Adverse Event Collection Recommendations project within the Safety Analytics Working Group, has published a new white paper The Adverse Event Collection Recommendations. This white paper provides recommendations for adverse event (AE) collection and associated instructions for Phase II to III clinical trials, building on standardisation efforts by Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) and PHUSE. The primary intent is to reduce the variation in AE collection and instructions to improve the site experience and the quality of the data. The Quality and Reusability of Real World Data project within the Real World Evidence Working Group, has published two new Blogs! The 'Understanding the Data Quality Issues in Real-World Data Through Real-World Examples', blog takes a closer look at the experiences shared within the dedicated Working Group in exploring the types of data quality hurdles encountered when using Real-World Data (RWD).The 'Considerations for the Use of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence to Support Regulatory Decision-Making for Drug and Biological Products' blog explores the use of Real-World Evidence (RWE) as a powerful tool for informing regulatory decisions and advancing medical innovation. The Educate the General Population on Data Privacy and Data Sharing project, within the Data Transparency Working Group has published video 2 of their series. The 'What Will I Receive and When Will I Receive It?’ The video covers topics such as the concept of consent to participate in a clinical trial, an overview of trial design and treatment procedures to develop a strong foundational understanding of clinical trials.

The Enhanced Risk-based Quality Management (RBQM) Approaches for First-in-Human and/or Small Clinical Trials, a new project within the Risk Based Quality ManagementWorking Group, is now calling for volunteers. This project aims to to discuss and focus on a robust strategy/process and best practices for:

The Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group has a new project, Demonstrating Real-World Impact of Modernization of Statistical Analytics (MSA) Framework. This project aims to extend the MSA framework by creating a reference architecture that takes into account real-world scenarios and design solutions to remediate them, ultimately providing a practical guide to building an end-to-end validated environment for regulated work. Companies seeking to build an open-source programming environment for regulatory reporting can leverage the MSA framework for guidance. However, since the framework is designed to be both flexible and extensible, implementing it may prove challenging for companies, resulting in situations where risks are not sufficiently mitigated. While the original MSA paper provided conceptual guidance, the PHUSE handover of the project will seek to provide an overview of practical implementations of the framework being applied.
This project is calling for volunteers, to join contact workinggroups@phuse.global by 26 April.
The Safety Analytics Working Group is looking for a new Working Group Lead to join their team. This Working Group is a cross-disciplinary collaboration working to improve the content and implementation of clinical trial safety analyses for medical research, leading to better data interpretations and increased efficiency in the clinical drug development and review processes.
