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).

During this virtual event, presentations will be delivered across the three days in bitesize chunks from 15:00-17:30 (GMT). There will also be a panel discussion and Q&A session focused on the day's themes. To view the agenda and full event information, visit the event page.

The Centralised Monitoring Capabilities project within the Risk Based Quality Management

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

a

their third Community Forum

on the The Risk Based Monitoring Feedback Loop. This will be an interactive session with Vera Pomerantseva who is an Associate Partner, Risk and Quality Management Lead at ZS Associates.The forum will discuss the journey of the risk signal communication, the experiences and challenges that occur in the process. This Community Forum will take place over Zoom, 21 February 15:00 - 16:00 GMT / 10:00 - 11:00 EST. 

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 Adverse Event Collection Recommendations project within the Safety Analytics Working Group has produced a White Paper 'Adverse Event Collection Recommendations' which provides recommendations for Adverse Event Collection Instructions, with a focus on Phase 2-4 clinical trials. The team are calling for your feedback!

Please provide your comments by emailing workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date for comments: 14 February.


The SEND Industry Feedback Survey

Project,

project within the Nonclinical Topics Working Group

have

, has published

their 2024 survey! The survey will be live until 23 February with questions on the topics of manual edits, progress on new implementation guides and harmonisation of current SEND initiatives. This is an anonymous survey and the information gathered will be shared at the upcoming PHUSE/FDA CSS 2024.

The Risk Based Monitoring Working Group has changed to Risk Based Quality Management, With a wider remit focused on RBQM, this Working Group will identify innovative approaches in the planning (Quality by Design, Critical to Quality, Risk Identification and Characterisation), conduct (Risk Control), and continuous improvement (Risk Review, Risk Communication) elements of RBQM that support proactive management data reliability and participant well-being. The leads have produced a survey so you can have your say in the evolution of this Working Group! Please complete this survey by the 6 March.

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 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
