| Working Groups Hot Topics |
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 |

CSS: This year's PHUSE/FDA CSS from the 19-21 September will take place at the Civic Centre, Silver Spring, MD .
The three days will focus on Working Group activities, a highly successful poster session and several networking events. A regulatory plenary session will take place where we will hear from the FDA and EMA regarding data. In addition to these presentations, there will also be two sessions relating to the Office of New Drugs release of standard tables and figures and standard adverse event groupings and queries! There will be two workshopsheld over the three days, for more information take a look on the PHUSE website where you can find the full agenda and how to register!Save the date! 5 October 2022 – The Emerging Trends & Technologies Working Group presents the next Community Forum: Challenges in Real World Data Ingestion and Standardization.
Recently Published Deliverables
The Central Monitoring Capabilities project, under the Risk Based Monitoring Working Group have drafted a White Paper titled: Centralized Monitoring: Exploring the Considerations and Challenges of Implementation. The paper describes common obstacles to implementing centralized monitoring (CM), while providing insight and guidance to address those difficulties to enable CM to be a key component to a successful risk based monitoring approach. It covers topics such as CM implementation models, CM change management, the central monitor role, and the execution of CM activities. The team is respectfully calling for public feedback on the White Paper. Please submit any feedback by 6 September to workinggroups@phuse.global.
The Safety Analytics Working Group, are looking for members to join a project to provide consolidated PHUSE feedback on the standard tables and figures and standard adverse event groupings and queries packages, for more information see here. If you are interested in joining the team please email workinggroup@phuse.global.

The Good Transparency Practices project within the Data Transparency Working Group, is now calling for feedback! This White Paper aims to define a set of best practices for data transparency and create a Good Transparency Practices guidance. The best practices will aim to ensure anonymised data is compliant with the legal requirements as defined by Regulators, as well as preserves as much data utility as possible. Please send in your comments to workinggroups@phuse.global by 3 May. |

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 Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group has a new project, Demonstrating Real-World Impact of Modernization of Statistical Analytics (MSA) Framework.This project aims to extend the MSA framework by creating a reference architecture that takes into account real-world scenarios and design solutions to remediate them, ultimately providing a practical guide to building an end-to-end validated environment for regulated work. Companies seeking to build an open-source programming environment for regulatory reporting can leverage the MSA framework for guidance. However, since the framework is designed to be both flexible and extensible, implementing it may prove challenging for companies, resulting in situations where risks are not sufficiently mitigated. While the original MSA paper provided conceptual guidance, the PHUSE handover of the project will seek to provide an overview of practical implementations of the framework being applied. This project is calling for volunteers, to join contact workinggroups@phuse.global by 26 April. The Safety Analytics Working Group is looking for a new Working Group Lead to join their team. This Working Group is a cross-disciplinary collaboration working to improve the content and implementation of clinical trial safety analyses for medical research, leading to better data interpretations and increased efficiency in the clinical drug development and review processes. Click here to see a list of current projects within this Working Group. Learn more about the roles and the responsibilities of a Working Group Lead and apply by emailing workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date 26 April. 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. |

AE Groupings in Safety (AEGiS) – Project Members
The PHUSE Safety Analytics Working Group is launching a new cross-disciplinary project team: AE Groupings in Safety (AEGiS). As noted in the FDA Clinical Review Template (Section 7.1.2 in Attachment B) and the EU SmPC Guideline and emphasised in the 2017 PHUSE adverse events white paper, adverse event categorisation that is too granular can result in underestimation of an event (e.g. somnolence, drowsiness, sedation and sleepiness probably all refer to the same event). This project team will develop points to consider when deciding whether to use a MedDRA-defined grouping of PTs versus creating a custom grouping and will provide recommendations on process/implementation (maintaining custom groupings, analysis planning, ADaM development, tables and figures). Note this project team will not be creating any custom groupings. Final deliverables may include presentations at scientific conferences, publishing a white paper and/or publishing in a peer-reviewed journal.
If you are interested in participating in this project, please email workinggroups@phuse.global.
Initiate and lead a new project under the PHUSE Working Groups umbrella. The new project must address problems of significant relevance to computational science related to drug, |
biological and device development and must meet all of the guidelines for projects within the collaboration, including the following mandatory requirements:
