We have four more published deliverables. The published deliverables this quarter are:

• Treatment Emergent Definitions Recommendations

The Treatment Emergent Definitions Recommendations project within the Safety Analytics Working Group has published a new White Paper, 'Recommended Definition of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events in Clinical Trials'. This White Paper defines treatment-emergent events in Phase I to IV clinical trials and integrates 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 Definitions Recommendations project team to solicit input from respondents on various TEAE scenarios for a simple clinical study design. 

• Comparing Analysis Method Implementations in Software (CAMIS)

The Comparing Analysis Method Implementations in Software (CAMIS) project under the Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group have just published a blog titled "A Story from the Novartis Hackathon: Industry Acceptance of the CAMIS Project". This blog talks about the CAMIS project and their involvement atthe Novartis Hackathon. 

• Best Practices in Data Standards Implementation Governance

The Best Practices in Data Standards Implementation Governance project within the Optimizing the Use of Data Standards Working Group has published a new white paper. 

This white paper presents the results of the survey along with feedback from informal discussions at PHUSE’s Computational Science Symposium (CSS) sessions in 2022 and 2023. The data and observations shared are intended to inform industry and identify further projects for exploration while also encouraging industry collaboration for areas which are found to be the most challenging. 

• SDTM ADaM Implementation FAQ

The SDTM ADaM Implementation FAQ project within the Optimizing the Use of Data Standards Working Group has published a 5 new FAQ! You can see all the FAQ's this project has answered so far via here.  

• The Analyses & Displays for Hepatotoxicity  White Paper is out for public review.
• The Management of ODS Regulatory Referenced Deliverables  two Templates were updated and shared for public review, and the team is continuing to work through the feedback.
