, 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.

is looking for a new Working Group Lead to join their team. Over the last decade, the development and adoption of data standards have shown significant promise in improving the efficient delivery of data to support drug product and device submissions as well as the review process. However, there have also been gaps, issues and challenges in the interpretation and use of data standards.

The goal of this Working Group is to work together to identify and close those particular gaps that impede industry and the FDA from making the most efficient use of data standards. 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 29 March.

The Nonclinical Topics Working Group has initiated a new Project called ‘Supporting the Use of SEND for the Implementation of Virtual Control Groups which is now calling for volunteers! This project will leverage the deep SEND knowledge and experience of the PHUSE Nonclinical Topics Working Group by initially focusing on the development of best practices with respect to population of SEND datasets with data from virtual control animals. This project will be working alongside the Nonclinical Scripts project also within the Nonclinical Topics Working Group and provide an open venue for the socialisation and hosting of open-source software solutions related to selection procedures and database infrastructure. If you are interested in joining, please contact workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date 13 April.

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
