| 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. |
Reimagining a Safety Submission – Vision of Interactive Safety Reviews – 27 March
During this Community Forum, you’ll hear about various efforts related to interactive safety reviews. The presentation will be followed by a discussion on the end goal, potential impact on submissions, and different models for creating and sharing interactive safety review tools. Register here!
RWD/RWE Programming & Reporting Standards: Utilising OMOP Standards – 12 April
Hear from presenters as they dive into what follows after using real-world data for regulatory submissions, and look into examples of mapping and data handling in two ways (OMOP to SDTM and source/SDTM to OMOP). They will explore the challenges of mapping to and from OMOP, which is a more open standard than SDTM and uses a stricter model with strict implementation guides. Register here!
The SDTM ADaM Implementation FAQ project recently received a question under Data Submission on submitting a table of hyperlinked outputs, program files and input data source of trials to the FDA. Click here to read the response! If you have a question for the team, email workinggroups@phuse.global.
ODS Needs your Feedback!
The Implementation of Estimands (ICH E9 (R1)) Using Data Standards project within the Optimizing the Use of Data Standards working group, is calling for your feedback to gain additional insights ahead of a white paper release later this year. Survey responses will also be summarised and shared at upcoming industry conferences, such as the DIA Global Annual Meeting in June. If you have any familiarity around Estimands at your organisation, we value your experience and insights! Click here to complete the survey before it closes on 14 April.

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:
