PHUSE/FDA Innovation Challenge
Following the success of the first Challenge, PHUSE is excited to launch the 2022 PHUSE/FDA Innovation Challenge.
Participant teams will present their solutions at the US Connect 2022 in Atlanta, GA. This event will be one of the highlights of the year with unparalleled learning opportunities and exposure to cutting edge problem-solving along the selected Challenge themes. You can help shape the challenge, by submitting to the challenge themes.PHUSE/FDA CSS 2024 | |||||

Open Forum: Open Source in Pharma and Long-Term Dependability |
---|
The Open Source Technology in Clinical Data Analytics (OSTCDA) project is hosting an Open Forum on the topic of Open Source in Pharma and Long-Term Dependability with speaker Mike Smith. This forum will be taking place on zoom on 17 May 15:00-16:00 BST / 10:00-11:00 EDT. |
New Deliverables |
---|
The Best Data Practices for Rare Disease Patient Foundations and Researchers within the Real World Evidence Working Group, has published a new deliverable in the form of a Poster. The Poster provides an overview of Ensuring Registry Data Relevance and Reliability for Regulatory Use. The PHUSE data standards community, which is comprised of leaders and experts responsible for the governance and implementation of data standards across the biopharmaceutical industry, have authored and new White Paper. The Data Standards White Paper highlights current challenges in data standardisation across the biopharma industry and identify opportunities where we can work together to tackle them. The SDTM ADaM Implementation FAQ within Optimizing the Use of Data Standards Working Group have published a new FAQ! The question they have answered is 'Naming Convention for Split RS Domain', you can view this question and the teams response viaValidation/Conformance Rules page. You can see all the FAQ this project has answered so far via here. Do you have a SDTM ADaM question? You can send your questions to the team by emailing workinggroups@phuse.global. The Quality Tolerance Limits project within the Risk Based Quality Management Working Group have published a new deliverable. The White Paper is on the topic of Assessing the Use of Quality Tolerance Limits in the Pharmaceutical Industry. This White Paper aims to provide the reader with valuable insights into the depth and breadth of the use of QTLs and addressing how QTLs are used in a wider scope of implementing RBQM. |
Calling for Feedback |

The Treatment Emergent Definitions Recommendations project within Safety Analytics Working Group has produced a White Paper 'Recommended Definition of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events in Clinical Trials'.This document defines treatment-emergent events in Phase 1 to 4 clinical trials and integrated summary documents across therapeutic areas. The recommendations described herein were based on the authors’ collective experiences and a survey conducted by the PHUSE Treatment-Emergent Definition Recommendations project team [2] to solicit input from respondents on various TEAE scenarios for a simple clinical study design. Please provide your comments by emailing workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date for comments: 7 June |
Volunteer Opportunities | |
---|---|
TheEstimands for RWD/RWE a new project within Real World Evidence Working Group is now calling for volunteers. The focus of this project is on best practices of RWD estimands, not on their implementation using data standards. The team formed would have representation from the PHUSE Implementation of Estimands (ICH E9 (R1)) using Data Standards project team, which has a white paper nearing publication as of 2024Q1, and the Estimands Implementation Working Group (EIWG) sub team on HTA and RWE, both with estimands expertise, along with representation from teams under the RWE Working Group. If you would like to volunteer or learn more about this project, email workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date: 7 June 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.

Projects Calling for Participants
Email workinggroups@phuse.global to get involved
R Environment System Qualification – Project Members
The project is looking to develop scripts to qualify an R environment, including the base installation and additional R framework exists for the base installation tests. This project will collaborate with the RValidationHub and the RConsortium to gather requirements for R environments and best practices for qualifying R systems.
Good Transparency Practices – Project Co-Lead and Members
The project aims to define a set of best practices for data transparency and create a Good Transparency Practices guidance. The best practices will help ensure anonymised data is compliant with the legal requirements, as defined by regulators, as well as preserving as much data utility as possible.
Educate the General Population on Data Privacy and Data Sharing – Project Members
This project is looking to produce engaging content on data privacy and data sharing that can be understood and used by the general population covering topics such as what is being done to share clinical trial data and information, where data goes and how it is used, what data privacy is, why it is needed, why it is important and the differences between mandatory vs. voluntary data sharing.
This project identifies current state of digital biomarkers in clinical sector and its future impact. It will cover the topics: Classification of existing digital biomarkers, Clinical Therapeutic areas where digital biomarkers usage is progressing, limitations, etc., Stakeholders impacted are Pharma, CROs, tech companies, regulators and SDOs.
The Treatment Emergence Definition Recommendations project is seeking your input on the treatment emergent (TE) definition for various patient event scenarios for a basic, two-period, two-treatment study design.
Please utilise this link to access the survey. It should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Based on your responses, the project team will develop a set of recommendations and best practices regarding how TE should be defined for this design. Results will be shared in a future PHUSE deliverable. Further recommendations and best practices may be developed for more complex designs in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey, your input will help us to better harmonise industry practices.
