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
