Community Forum

Reimagining a Safety Submission – Vision of Interactive Safety Reviews27 March
During this Community Forum, you’ll hear about various efforts related to interactive safety reviews. The presentation will be followed by a discussion on the end goal, potential impact on submissions, and different models for creating and sharing interactive safety review tools. Register here

Real World Evidence White Paper 

Real World Evidence: Requirements and Recommendations for Regulatory Submissions – the Real World Evidence project is calling for feedback on their most recent White Paper. In this paper, the RWE project aims to provide an overview of the learnings, challenges, and best practices around RWD data sources, collection, cleaning, standardisation, reporting and regulatory submissions. This paper also aims to serve as a reference for relevant guidelines and articles related to the use of RWD/RWE for regulatory submissions. Please provide your comments directly into the document or send them to workinggroups@phuse.global by 20 March

Volunteering Opportunities 

CSS Poster Chairs – The Poster Session at the PHUSE/FDA CSS offers an opportunity for presenters to cover topics relating to the PHUSE Working Groups and Computational Science in a visual and engaging manner. PHUSE is looking for volunteers to chair this session. CSS will take place 18–20 September and the poster session chairs will need to be able to attend this event in person.
Visit the PHUSE website for more information. If you are interested in this role, please send an email with a short paragraph indicating the reasons for you interest to workinggroups@phuse.global by 24 March.

The Nonclinical Topics Working Group is on the lookout for members to join the Conformance with the Tumor.xpt Specification project. The aim of this project is to create a non-exhaustive first set of technical conformance rules with the tumor.xpt specification. This project will provide the first set of validator rules to be implemented by tools already used by the industry for verification of SEND datasets, thus removing part of the current manual burden of reviewing this file.

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.

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. For more information, click here, read the Welcome Pack or email workinggroups@phuse.global
