| 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. |

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:

Volunteer Opportunities
The Safety Analytics Working Group is looking for members to join their Education project!
Planning and interpreting clinical trial safety analyses demands scientific expertise that is often missing in educational curricula. The Safety Analytics field is dynamic and evolving, requiring continual learning. All the roles (for example, medical, statistics, writers) that collaborate on ongoing safety reviews, clinical study reports and integrated submission documents can improve their planning, content, execution, and communication of clinical trial safety analyses. Improving Safety Analytics education will lead to better content, implementation, and understanding of clinical trial safety analyses. Additionally, when stakeholders are educated, less time is needed for aligning on analysis plans and data interpretations. If you are interested in volunteering or want to know more about this project email workingroups@phuse.global.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. |
