Working Groups Hot Topics

PHUSE collaborations are organised into a number of specialist Working Groups, each with a broad topic area. The Working Groups have specific projects designed to achieve a set of particular objectives. This page will highlight the latest news and information from our projects. Participation is open to anyone who wants to contribute and if you would like to get involved, please email workinggroups@phuse.global.

PHUSE/FDA CSS

Next year's PHUSE/FDA Computational Science Symposium (CSS) will be held 3–5 June 2024 in Silver Spring, MD. This event stands as a testament to the pharmaceutical industry's commitment to innovation and collaboration and is a driving force behind shaping the future of drug development and regulatory science. We hope to see you there! Stay tuned for registration and Call for Posters opening in January.

Safety Analytics Webinar Series: Interdisciplinary Safety Evaluation for Learning and Decision-Making

Over the last five months, the Safety Analytics Working Group has delivered a series of virtual, free to attend webinars. The fifth and final webinar will take place 16 November 15:00 – 16:45 (GMT) 10:00 – 11:45 (EST) on the topic of Interdisciplinary Safety Evaluation for Learning and Decision-Making: Education for Executives, register here! A list of all previous webinars can be found here.


Volunteer Opportunities

Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group project, CAMIS has created a Sub-Team, CAMIS-ONCO: Comparing Analysis Method Implementations in Software, and they are now calling for Collaborators and Volunteers! Hello statisticians and programmers. Are you currently working or interested in using different software programming languages to analyse and visualise statistical results and endpoints in oncology clinical trials? Wondering how to achieve the same analysis results, e.g. hazard ratio, or confidence intervals in SAS, R and Python? We invite you to collaborate with our subgroup, CAMIS-ONCO, which is a part of the CAMIS–PHUSE Working Group, focused on comparison of statistical procedures for oncology trial analysis in different programming languages. This subgroup will further collaborate across industry to discuss open-source programming languages in analysis of results. Our group is exploring discrepancies while implementing code and documenting reasons like default options in statistical procedure statements of SAS, R and Python. We plan to further develop or extend the CAMIS GitHub code repository to analyse FDA-recommended endpoints in oncology trials with comparative results. Interested? Please check out our existing repository at https://psiaims.github.io/CAMIS/. We also invite you to be part of our white paper planning and programming for 2024: ‘Oncology clinical trial endpoint analysis in a multiprogramming world’.

Please contact workinggroups@phuse.global to register your interest in volunteering.

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. 

New Project Idea? 

Initiate and lead a new project under the PHUSE Working Groups umbrella. The new project must address problems of significant relevance to computational science related to drug, biologic and device development and must meet all of the guidelines for projects within the collaboration, including the following mandatory requirements: 

  • The projects must address significant research issues relevant to Computational Science
  • The project must not attempt to address FDA policy issues
  • There must be at least one Project Lead personally involved in planning and carrying out the project

New projects can be submitted anytime during the year, click here to submit.
