Technical Conformance Guide & Test Data Submission to the eData FDA team

During the live event we will address questions from the industry on, the Study Data Technical Conformance Guide (TCG), the Technical Rejection Criteria (TRC) and submitting test data to the FDA. 

Please join our panel of PHUSE-appointed Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from industry and the FDA, who will discuss their own experiences of submitting study data to the FDA eData (CBER and CDER) team and take questions from the audience.

As a pre-read to this event, please reference the TCG and TRC guidance. For information on submitting an eCTD or Standardised Data Sample to the FDA, please reference link. For further information on the Study Data Submission to CDER and CBER, click here.

Attendees are encouraged to submit their question in advance via this form, or at the event through the virtual event portal.

Projects Calling for Participants 

Email workinggroups@phuse.global to get involved

A new project under the Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group is calling for volunteers. The R Environment System Qualification project is looking to develop scripts to qualify an R environment, including the base installation and additional R framework exists for the base installation tests. This project will collaborate with the RValidationHub and the RConsortium to gather requirements for R environments and best practices for qualifying R systems. The Digital Biomarkers in Clinical Submissions project identifies current state of digital biomarkers in clinical sector and its future impact. It will cover the topics: Classification of existing digital biomarkers, Clinical Therapeutic areas where digital biomarkers usage is progressing, limitations, etc., Stakeholders impacted are Pharma, CROs, tech companies, regulators and SDOs. “DB360” will be built on the paper DH08 submitted in PHUSE US Connect 2020 with final outcome of White Paper and presentations at PHUSE conferences in 2022. The PHUSE Nonclinical Topics Working Group is launching a new 5-week project to create example TS files, submit them to the FDA Test gateway, and publish the results. Click here for more information on the scope of the project. We are pleased to announce the launching of our 'NEWEST' Working Group Risk Based Monitoring. The Quality Tolerance Limits project are seeking volunteers to join the team. Now is a good time to get involved and help drive this forward from inception. Project Idea?

Open Source – Regulatory Acceptance of Open-Source Submissions

Registration for the Open Source Open Forum is open!

The Open Source Technology in Clinical Data Analysis (OSTCDA) project is hosting their fourth Open Forum: Regulatory Acceptance of Open-Source Submissions, they will be addressing the following questions:

  • Will the FDA accept data and analyses generated with solutions developed and available as open source?
  • Will other regulatory agencies accept data and analyses generated with solutions developed and available as open source?

Come and be a part of our next virtual Open Forum on 12 July at 15:00(BST) 10:00(EDT).

Understanding the Complete Journey of RWD, from Data Source to Final Analysis 

Registration for the RWE Community Forum is open!

The Real World Evidence Working Group is hosting their third Community Forum of the year! This forum will looking at 'Understanding the Complete Journey of RWD, from Data Source to Final Analysis'. As an industry, we are continuously accumulating experiences in working with real-world data (RWD) sources that collectively yield benefits – from enhanced generalisability of findings to facilitating faster approval timelines. However, these efforts are not without their challenges.

Come and be a part of our next virtual Community Forum on 11 July at 14:00(BST) 9:00(EDT).

The Dataset-JSON as Alternative Transport Format for Regulatory Submissions project within the Optimizing the Use of Data Standards Working Group, 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. To view the full series of videos created by this team, visit the PHUSE website

The Enhanced Risk-based Quality Management (RBQM) Approaches for First-in-Human and/or Small Clinical Trialsa 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:

  • Identifying critical items
  • Risk Based data review approaches
  • Risk Based Monitoring approach strategy (tSDV/tSDR)
  • Usage of analytical tools and methods for data review & central monitoring, including limitations on (statistical) methodologies
  • Identification of thresholds or equivalent on limited patient data
  • Targeted medical review
  • Strategy to adequately anticipate on highly dynamic data
  • Establish links with the other work streams on FIH/small studies focus

If you would like to volunteer or learn more about this project, email workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date: 5 July

Multiple projects within Working Groups are open to join. PHUSE welcomes new members who can apply their knowledge to bring fresh ideas and contribute to the ongoing work of PHUSE projects. For more information, click here, read the Welcome Pack or email workinggroups@phuse.global
