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. 

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.

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.
