Optimizing the Use of Data Standards project, Implementation of Estimands (ICH E9 (R1)) using Data Standards has produced a White Paper, which is now out for public review. This paper provides recommendations to facilitate the implementation of the estimands framework introduced by the ICH E9(R1) within the data flow, promoting alignment across the industry. These consist of best practices for using existing standards and extensions to data standards where applicable and are illustrated by examples, in scope where an impact assessment on Data Collection (CDASH), Data Tabulation (SDTM), Data Analysis (ADaM) and the Data Reviewers Guides (cSDRG and ADRG).

White Paper and Appendix (please note, there might be some visual issues with some of the tables, these will be corrected during the final editing stages for publication). Closing date: 17 January.

Please share any comments and thoughts via email, at workinggroups@phuse.global. Feedback will be shared with the project team to help them develop the final White Paper.

Calling For Feedback

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.



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.


New Deliverables

Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group's project, Julia Initiative for High-Performance Computing has published their White Paper 'Julia for High-Performance Computing'This White Paper provides an overview of Julia’s features and benefits for high-performance computing, including its fast compilation, dynamic typing, multiple dispatch, and built-in support for parallelism. It also discusses current real-world use cases of Julia and potential case studies for high-performance computing, along with recommended readings and references for further exploration. Please head over to our PHUSE website to read!

The Cloud Adoption in the Life Sciences Industry project within the Emerging Trends and Technologies Working Group have published their white paper 'Cloud Framework, Pre-Amble', This paper explores adopting cloud-based solutions for GxP workloads, understanding why the essential characteristics of cloud services and solutions are important for determining the applicability of GxP requirements to specific Cloud Service Providers and/or cloud-based solution models.

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.
