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, |

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 portal11th August 2021 at 15.00 (BST)
PHUSE/FDA Innovation Challenge Roadmap
We are excited to announce the PHUSE/FDA Innovation Challenge for 2022!
This will be a key highlight of the year with unparalleled learning opportunities and exposure to cutting edge problem-solving along the selected themes. Solutions will be presented during the US Connect 2022 in Atlanta, GA, 13–16 February.
Join this webinar to find out more and to hear the Innovation Challenge’s roadmap and the journey it will take from concept to challenges to solutions through our PHUSE/FDA CSS in September 2021 and the US Connect 2022.
This is also your exclusive opportunity to help shape the Innovation Challenge and submit challenge themes that can be solved through the work of the Challenge participants

Testing Simplified TS Examples Against FDA Technical Rejection Criteria for Nonclinical Studies
The Nonclinical Topics Working Group created a project to enable the industry to confidently know what TS files will be accepted and avoid a rejection. The results of this project will be described in this meeting.
The project results are important because:
2. Only sponsor organisations will receive warning messages between now and Q4, AND only if they have a submission between now and then.
3. Not all organisations involved in creating submission components will have the opportunity to create a test submission before the rejection criteria go into effect.
4. An organised test reduced the burden on the FDA compared to each organisation submitting test submissions.
This meeting will cover the test cases used, showing which passed and which failed. The test cases were assembled into one eCTD and submitted to the FDA test submission gateway. The eCTD was prepared as if it were a Commercial IND for CDER.

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 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:
