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

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:

Projects Calling for Participants
The Emerging Trends & Technologies Working Group is actively seeking a new Project Co-Lead to work alongside Geoff Low for the FHIR team initiative. Here you will find an overview of the project scope together with an outline of their deliverables. The team are currently reviewing these and adapting their timelines accordingly, so now would be a great time to get involved.
Expectations:
- Commit to attend, actively lead and contribute towards the Project
- Attend and lead breakout sessions (where necessary) at the annual PHUSE Computational Science Symposium (CSS)
- Support in the production of agenda’s, minutes and chasing of outstanding actions
- Provide regular project updates at the monthly Working Group Leads meeting
We ask that all applicants interested in this role, provide a brief summary of how you feel you can contribute to driving this project forward. All applications are to be submitted to workinggroups@phuse.global, the closing date for applications is Friday 19th March
The new Best Practices in Data Standards Implementation Governance project which falls under the Optimising the Use of Data Standards Working Group is calling for volunteers! Click here for more information on the scope of the project, email workinggroups@phuse.global to get involved.
The FDA Oncology Safety Data Standards project aims to obtain broad industry and CRO feedback on the current publicly available OCE/OOD standard safety data request and assist with the development of resources to assist sponsors with implementation of these data specifications. This project is calling for volunteers, email workinggroups@phuse.global for more information.
The Synthetic Data Project will be hosting five 90-min training sessions on a monthly basis until July. Hosted by Replica Analytics, the training sessions will review different techniques and explore different use cases relevant to the Life Sciences industry. During the time leading to July, the project team will elaborate on the first deliverable to focus on following the end of the training period. If you want to sign up to the Data Synthesis project and gain access to the PODR, please contact workinggroups@phuse.global. You can already sign up to the first session on March 4th on eventbrite.
