Risk Based Quality Management
The End to End RBQM Education project is hosting a new webinar: Decoding AI in Clinical Trials: Practical Applications, Regulatory Reality, and the Road Ahead.
This webinar offers a practical, reality-check view of how AI and large language models are being applied in clinical trial conduct today. It explores real-world use of AI in RBQM, regulatory and compliance considerations, and what generative AI can (and can’t) deliver. Helping organisations prepare for what’s coming over the next 3–5 years.This webinar will be held virtually on 26 February 2026 at 10:00-11:00 (EST) / 15:00-16:00 (GMT) / 16:00-17:00 (CET)

Industry recommendations for Risk Based Quality Management in First in Human and Small Clinical Trials |
|---|
The Enhanced Risk-based Quality Management (RBQM) Approaches for First-in-Human and/or Small Clinical Trials project within the Risk Based Quality Management Working Group have published a new white paper: Industry recommendations for Risk Based Quality Management in First in Human and Small Clinical Trials which is now open for public review. The purpose of this white paper is to provide guidance on the application of Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) in First-in-Human (FIH) and small clinical trials. This document aims to support sponsors in adopting risk-proportionate, efficient quality oversight approaches while maintaining patient safety and data integrity. It is intended for clinical operations, quality, and oversight teams involved in the design, conduct, and monitoring of small clinical trials. The team welcome feedback on the paper from 9 January – 6 February. Please send responses to workinggroups@phuse.global. |
Imaging Data Anonymization Guideline |
|---|
The Anonymization of Imaging Data project within the Data Transparency Working Group have published a new white paper: Imaging Data Anonymization Guideline which is now open for public review. The purpose of this guideline is to define the minimum anonymization standards for DICOM imaging data shared externally via a secure, governed research environment (SGRE). This document aims to ensure that all shared clinical trial imaging data complies with privacy regulations and ethical standards, thereby protecting the identities of clinical trial participants. It is intended for people involved in data processing, anonymization, and external collaborations, as well as for external researchers who will access these anonymized data. The team welcome feedback on the paper from 6 January – 3 February. Please send responses to workinggroups@phuse.global |

PharmaForest: A collaborative repository of SAS packages for pharmaceutical industry (PLSs) project team within the Data Visualisation & Open Source Technology Working Group, is calling for volunteers!
PharmaForest is a collaborative initiative focused on improving how SAS programming is developed and shared across the pharmaceutical industry. Built on the SAS Packages Framework (SPF), it promotes reusable, standardised SAS packages to reduce duplication, improve efficiency, and support compliance.
By combining an open package repository with community collaboration and practical guidance, PharmaForest helps move SAS programming from siloed approaches to a more scalable, industry-wide model.

Emerging Trends & Innovation |
|---|
The Integration of Omics Data into Clinical Drug Development project within the Emerging Trends & InnovationWorking Group has published a new White Paper titled “Capturing Computational Workflows in Clinical Trials with BioCompute” This white paper explores how the BioCompute framework can transform the way computational workflows are captured and communicated in clinical trials. As bioinformatics analyses become increasingly complex, consistent and transparent documentation is essential for reproducibility and regulatory confidence. Through practical case studies, the paper demonstrates how BioCompute enables structured, auditable workflows across diverse data types, including omics and imaging, while supporting more efficient collaboration and regulatory submissions. |
Real World Evidence |
|---|
The RWD Guideline for Programming and Analysis Processes Project within the Real World Evidence Working Group has published a new White Paper. This paper offers practical guidance for statistical programmers on applying real‑world data (RWD) to produce regulatory‑grade real‑world evidence (RWE), covering study design, data fitness, governance, ethics, vendor engagement, bias management, and regulatory submission considerations. |
